Lloyd’s Register designed industry’s first reliability-based mechanical integrity (RBMI) software designed to address the maintenance needs of rotating and instrumentation equipment, claimed the company.

The new modules integrate with the components of the Capstone RBMI software that allow companies to combine the maintenance schedules for these types of assets into one program, said the company.

Andy Scott, Lloyd’s global RBMI business director, commented, “This ground-breaking software recognizes the different maintenance programs needed to test the reliability of rotating equipment and other instrumentation and the controls that have a substantial impact on safety and operational reliability.”

“One of the most beneficial aspects of this pioneering software is that it gives companies access to the kind of streamlined information that creates a more efficient, effective maintenance system by supporting real-time testing, which reduces downtime and increases cost savings,” said Efrain Garcia, Lloyd’s vice president.
