HUMS: One for All

Our individual CMS services can also be combined into a customized monitoring solution. 

We call it HUMS.

HUMS (or Health & Usage Monitoring System) is a combination of Bachmann condition monitoring and structural health monitoring expertise. In addition to classic drive train monitoring (CMS), we also offer load monitoring of the rotor blades, unbalance detection, and structural monitoring of the tower. We combine these components to deliver holistic monitoring of the entire turbine.

To learn more about HUMS, download our white paper, or contact us: Whitepaper: Towards a Health and Usage Monitoring System for Wind Turbines.

Remote Monitoring Services

 

Our remote monitoring team is made up of dedicated analysts who ensure that all diagnostic data is clearly communicated to the team.

1. Full Service

With our Full Service package, Bachmann takes on all condition monitoring processes on behalf of our customers. We host your data and fully commission all systems, including after the replacement of drivetrain components. We screen all data for anomalies, and create diagnostics reports via the WebLog ticket system to accurately document any identified defects.

2. Data Pre-Screening

This early detection service includes data hosting and covers the routine daily processes for checking data quality and alarms. Our pre-screening service removes all alarms which relate to pre-existing conditions, transient conditions or data quality issues. 

3. Data Hosting from BAM

Bachmann Monitoring (BAM) provides the data access our customers require to carry out their own monitoring, without the need for expensive IT infrastructure. With our data hosting solution, you take full responsibility for your own monitoring services via a cloud solution. 

4. Self Hosting

If our customers wish to take their data in house, then we are happy to provide the necessary support, including a license package and technical support.

The CMS Process

Condition Monitoring with Bachmann is more than just vibration measurement. We provide:

  • Advanced hardware solutions
  • Innovative, web-based analytics software
  • Onsite installation, commissioning and project management support
  • Certified, flexible remote monitoring services
  • Education and training for independent monitoring

Our modular approach allows you to select the appropriate measurement technologies for your needs, and couple this with the right software solutions and plug-ins for the exact characteristics of your machines.

Condition Monitoring Consultancy

A strategic approach to condition monitoring identifies potential cost savings and helps to avoid unforeseen operational downtime. Our CM consultants transform predictive maintenance, lifetime extension (LTE) and levelized cost of energy (LCOE) into tangible benefits and realistic impact on the bottom line.

Minimum Unplanned Downtime

Sound knowledge of component life cycles enables well-planned maintenance, reducing unplanned downtime.

icon_47_interoperabilitaet_rgb
Limit Consequential Damage

Responding to an impending failure before damage occurs keeps consequential damage to a minimum.

icon_08_grenzenloser_zugriff_rgb
Lifetime Extension (LTE)

Component life cycles can be significantly extended through an optimized operating strategy.

icon_23_wertschoepfung_aus_daten_rgb
Lower Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE)

Reducing maintenance costs and extending component lifecycles lowers the total cost of ownership and, with it, the cost of energy produced.

Cantilever Sensor - it’s the simple things that impress the most

Simple: Using a robust, industry-standard distance sensor, the Cantilever Sensor converts strain measurement into a stable, fault-resistant distance measurement. For example, the measurement signal must not first be transformed from an optical to an electrical signal – a process that is often prone to faults. 

Robust: Thanks to its measurement principle, the Cantilever Sensor features a robust design and is easy to install. It also facilitates a very long service and operational life with little maintenance necessary.

Reliable: Despite its very robust design, the Cantilever Sensor acquires extremely accurate and reliable data.
