6. ONGOING ANALYSES FOR A FUTURE
INTEGRATED ADVANCED CBM SYSTEM
Currently, several analyses are on the way, to enable building
an integrated approach from SCADA and vibration data. This
is done to empower the data analytics, thus, to extend the
capability of data analytics from single component to asset
behaviour.

accelerometers, installed on the centrifugal fan. The vibration
signals are elaborated according to the guidelines provided by
the ISO 10816-3 (up to state detection) and ISO 13373-3/5 (for
health assessment). The results show that it is possible to use
the RMS as relevant feature for both state detection and health
assessment of bearings. The SCADA-sourced data are used,
but the retrievable information content is related to the
identification of the working states of the industrial fan (if on,
off, transient off, transient on) rather than on novelty detection.
At the moment, the CBM system is deployed as proof-of-
concept and before the final deployment additional data
analytics will be introduced.
