Description
KCF Technologies understands that new CBM technology is required for realized Total Ownership Cost (TOC) reductions on many Navy platforms including winches. In particular, advanced solutions are needed to accurately predict component performance and maintenance from which overhauls can be reduced, work task times shortened, and maintenance logistics optimized. The lack of advanced monitoring technologies necessary to perform high fidelity diagnostics and prognosticswithin the constraints of most Navy platforms and logistics infrastructurerepresent a key technology gap that must be bridged to derive increased operational readiness and cost saving. In this project, advanced diagnostic and prognostic algorithms will be combined with KCFs mature commercial industrial machine monitoring solution. This marriage of technologies will be tailored and applied to the unique requirements of Navy winches.
