Abstract

There is an on-going drive to expand the benefits achievable from Health and Usage Monitoring Systems (HUMS). In order to facilitate this expansion, the function of a HUMS needs to evolve from one of monitoring into that of management. This paper explains the differences between the two types of system and the benefits achievable from these. A number of examples are presented to illustrate the considerable amount of development activity being undertaken which has the common aim of producing a new generation of Health and Usage Management systems
