Revolutionizing Maintenance Through Remote Monitoring via ICAS & Distance Support
ABSTRACT
Naval Sea System Command (NAVSEA) has developed, and is utilizing, a maintenance process that is changing maintenance practices and planning. This process began 5 years ago by equipping ships to continuously collect engineering plant performance data for use in a Condition- Based Maintenance environment. Today, shipboard digitized performance data is accessible on the worldwide-web and is enabling the U.S. Navy to obtain unprecedented health monitoring of their propulsion plants and auxiliary equipment. The quality and accessibility of this data is leading the way in improving current maintenance practices.
INTRODUCTION
Integrated Condition Assessment System The Integrated Condition Assessment System (ICAS) is a Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) software product developed by IDAX Inc., for which the U.S. Navy holds Government Purpose License Rights (GPLR). It is a configurable, shell type architecture to allow for varied implementation of machinery monitoring and condition based maintenance (CBM). Presently, ICAS is installed on over 100 U.S. Navy vessels and land based sites.
