Condition Monitoring Systems
State-of-the-art CMS for the wind industry.
Holistic and Practical Expertise
From hardware to software, analysis to consulting – every Bachmann Condition Monitoring System (CMS) solution is based on over 50 years of experience. With thousands of installations monitored worldwide by our DNV-certified monitoring systems and services, you can trust Bachmann to take care of your machine.
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.

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.
With our Full Service package, Bachmann takes on all condition monitoring processes on behalf of our customers.
This early detection service includes data hosting and covers the routine daily processes for checking data quality and alarms.
We provide the data access our customers require to carry out their own monitoring, without the need for expensive IT infrastructure.
If our customers wish to take their data in house, then we are happy to provide the necessary support. We offer a license package with setup support.

- 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.

Leading the Way to Wind Energy 5.0
The right mix of predictive, preventive and reactive maintenance is key to keeping the cost of repair to a minimum.
Sound knowledge of component life cycles enables well-planned maintenance, reducing unplanned downtime.
Responding to an impending failure before damage occurs keeps consequential damage to a minimum.
Component life cycles can be significantly extended through an optimized operating strategy.
Reducing maintenance costs and extending component lifecycles lowers the total cost of ownership and, with it, the cost of energy produced.
No separate system required - Bachmann's CMS can be seamlessly integrated into the controller system.
