Why Every Factory Should Move Toward Predictive Maintenance?
In today’s rapidly evolving industrial landscape, industrial automation is not just a competitive advantage—it’s a necessity. As factories strive to improve efficiency, reduce downtime, and cut operational costs, predictive maintenance (PdM) has emerged as a cornerstone strategy. By leveraging data, sensors, and intelligent systems, predictive maintenance transforms how maintenance is performed, moving from reactive to proactive—and ultimately, to optimized operations. What Is Predictive Maintenance? Predictive maintenance uses real-time data and analytics to monitor the health of machinery and predict failures before they occur. Unlike preventive maintenance, which is time-based, PdM is condition-based and only triggers maintenance when specific thresholds or anomalies are detected. The primary goal of predictive maintenance is simple: reduce unplanned downtime , extend asset lifespan, and lower maintenance costs. It empowers factories to allocate resources efficiently, ensuring ...
