    “Condition-based maintenance (CBM) is revolutionizing industrial operations by identifying equipment failures before they happen. Already installed on multiple U.S. Navy vessels, Fathom5’s CBM system is the first AI program of record deployed on Navy warships. By analyzing 10,000+ sensor readings per second, the system provides real-time insights to prevent costly breakdowns and unplanned repairs. CBM keeps more ships mission-ready.”
