Failure-based Maintenance (FBM) is unscheduled maintenance or repair to return the asset to a defined state. There are no interventions until a failure has occurred. This includes the Reactive Maintenance and the Run to Failure (RTF) Maintenance. Many are not differentiating between the above-mentioned types of Maintenance and use the two terms as alternatives.

Which is Right for You? OEE vs. MTBF
You may already be familiar with some of the metrics used to measure the performance of your assets. If you have had some exposure to the common thinking on this topic, then you are likely familiar with the terms OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) and MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure). Both of these metrics can be very informative and drive specific behaviors when applied correctly.

Motion Magnification Real-Life ODS
Real life ODS is a new way to visualize the vibration of a machine in the same way you used to do it using conventional ODS. Thanks to the technology developed by Erbessd Instruments you can collect data with your accelerometers and after that, just take a picture and you’re ready to complete a motion magnification analysis.
