Does your plant do an end of year shutdown? What better time to schedule assessments to make make sure you start 2025 off right? This month we'll be featuring some of our assessment options that will help you plan the most productive 2025! First up, the IBE (Installed Base Evaluation). An IBE from CBT provides the knowledge needed to help you make informed decisions regarding the support and obsolescence management of your installed base assets. CBT will ensure you have all you need to identify your facility’s risks and plan a safe and suitable path for the future, including inventory analysis, environmental conditions, and component life cycle classifications. How does it work? Installed base data is collected by a CBT Specialist during an on-site visit. We work with you to develop a system for data collection, which includes a review of your complete electrical and mechanical installed base. We focus on providing analysis in the context of your most critical facility assets, so you understand your biggest obsolescence risks. Our comprehensive approach includes a thorough analysis of your critical plant assets and their condition, as well as identification of critical spares, and excess, insufficient, and inactive spares. The IBE service can help: 🔹Reduce costs by identifying and eliminating excess inventory, which can help improve return on assets 🔹Minimize downtime by verifying that critical spares are on-site to support production and maintenance 🔹Identify and mitigate risks associate with supporting legacy equipment 🔹Update equipment or add a new production line knowing exactly what will be affected in your installed base Interested in an evaluation?

Modern manufacturing isn't just about heavy machinery and production lines. It's about innovation, sustainability, and creating solutions that push industries forward. At CBT we're proud of our rich history and the strides we've made to help our manufacturing partners adapt and innovate. From implementing smart technologies to harnessing the power of AI, we're helping to redefine what manufacturing means today. Yesterday we hosted 8th grade students from Reading Community City School District. With the help of AMIP Cincy and DENSO we dispelled some common misconceptions about #manufacturing. MYTH- Manufacturing is dirty, dangerous, and boring. ACTUALITY- Manufacturing is safe, innovative, and even a little bit fun. #ManufacturingMonth #ManufacturingEducation #CBTDoesThat #Robotics #DensoRobotics

Last week CBT wrapped up a drive to collect items for those affected by Hurricane Helene. This week those items will be transported by Matthew 25 Ministries to help provide some relief to our friends in North Carolina.
