The secret to successful predictive maintenance
We rely on a wide range of machines of all shapes and sizes in our everyday lives. Every machine breaks down at some point, especially if it's not maintained. Computerized maintenance systems are already replacing manual ones. In a world that is heavily dependent on mass production, infrastructure and utilities, machine failures have a huge impact. For this reason, proactive maintenance strategies have become second nature in production workflows.
Improving your company’s maintenance strategy with predictive maintenance
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
