We’ll explore how combining the right techniques and technologies can improve monitoring of critical assets. In batch-based manufacturing environments, significant gaps in monitoring data can emerge for some of the most critical assets.

We’ll discuss how traditional condition-based monitoring (CBM) approaches fell short in addressing these gaps, leading to the development of hybrid solution that integrates both online and route-based monitoring.

By layering in complementary technologies, coverage was extended across all stages of operation, effectively eliminating blind spots. With these gaps closed, higher-quality data enabled timely interventions that align with business needs and schedules.

1. Online monitoring systems are one tool in the solution, not the complete answer.
2. Good data strengthens engineering decisions but cannot substitute for sound first principles.
3. Reliability is a continuous journey of improvement, not a fixed destination to reach.
