Predictive Maintenance System

How does predictive maintenance work?

Predictive maintenance uses historical and real-time data from various parts of your operation to anticipate problems before they happen. There are three main areas of your organization that factor into predictive maintenance:

• The real-time monitoring of asset condition and performance
• The analysis of work order data
• Benchmarking MRO (maintenance, repair and operations) inventory usage

Benefits of predictive maintenance

When predictive maintenance is working effectively as a maintenance strategy, maintenance is only performed on machines when it is required. That is, just before failure is likely to occur. This brings several cost savings:

• Minimizing the time the equipment is being maintained
• Minimizing the production hours lost to maintenance
• Minimizing the cost of spare parts and supplies
