In many industries, maintenance caused by equipment failure is defined as unplanned downtime. In today’s complex supply chains, the saying “a
chain is as strong as its weakest link” is more appropriate than ever. Unplanned downtime can be very costly, as it halts productivity. In fact, its effects can ripple throughout the chain.

With planned downtime, maintenance can be scheduled when it has the least impact on maintenance. This is a much
better alternative in terms of minimizing costs and optimizing productivity. Predictive maintenance helps you:

• Reduce unplanned downtime due to machine failure
• Trim maintenance costs
• Reduce downtime for repairs
• Minimize your spare parts inventory
• Increase the service life of parts
• Improve operator safety
