Reliability and availability

Condition Monitoring

Reliable condition monitoring forms the basis for assessing the reliability, availability and remaining service life of technical systems. Only through the systematic acquisition and evaluation of real operating loads and condition data can deviations be identified at an early stage, risks assessed and appropriate measures derived.

We support manufacturers and operators in the design and implementation of condition monitoring solutions – from early integration into the development of new systems to retrofit in existing systems. The objective is to establish a robust data basis that enables sound analysis and predictive, condition-based maintenance strategies.

Integration into the development of new systems

In new system developments, the initial focus is typically on design and performance objectives. Requirements related to availability, maintainability and operating costs are often considered at a later stage. However, if condition monitoring and maintenance aspects are integrated early in the development process, these requirements can be systematically addressed from the outset.

IABG supports the definition of suitable monitoring concepts and their integration into system architecture, design and qualification. This enables timely service life analyses, the identification of relevant operating parameters, and the establishment of a robust basis for decision-making in both development and subsequent operation.

Key areas:

  • Definition of relevant condition and operating parameters
  • Integration of monitoring concepts into development and qualification
  • Support for service life and availability analyses
  • Derivation of robust requirements for operation and maintenance

Retrofitting existing systems (retrofit)

Retrofitting condition monitoring solutions into existing systems or vehicles presents specific challenges. Technical solutions must be integrated into existing structures without affecting ongoing operations or compromising existing approvals. At the same time, available data sources need to be effectively integrated and utilised.

IABG develops practical concepts for integrating sensor technology, data acquisition and data analysis into existing systems. Existing operational data is used in a targeted manner to improve transparency of system condition and to identify optimisation potential.

Key areas:

  • Integration of condition monitoring into existing systems
  • Utilisation of existing operational and maintenance data
  • Development of cost-efficient and minimally invasive solutions
  • Derivation of measures to improve operation and maintenance
