November 21, 2003—Basin Electric, a consumer-owned regional cooperative headquartered in Bismarck, North Dakota, has selected Indus International’s newly released CBM Connector to integrate the company’s enterprise asset management (EAM) system with a variety of condition monitoring (CM) and operational data historian solutions. According to Indus, the resulting integrated solution will enable Basin to achieve performance improvement and cost savings by having the most up-to-date asset data on which to base time-critical operations and maintenance decisions.
The contract marks the first delivery of EAM/CM integration compliant with the new Information Standards. The CBM Connector was developed recently to support the OpenO&M standards set forth in collaboration between the OPC Foundation and Machinery Information Management Open Systems Alliance (MIMOSA).
The CBM Connector effectively utilizes the new standards to provide a host of benefits, including a more efficient integration with lower software maintenance cost, rapid time for deployment, flexibility for integrating new monitoring technologies and improved timeliness and accuracy of asset information.
