By analysing the state of the equipment that is already in use, predictive maintenance approaches can forecast when maintenance work needs to be done while minimising the impact on everyday system operations. This leads to reduced downtimes and therefore substantial cost savings and higher system reliability. However, Predictive Maintenance (PdM) is difficult to adopt and manage at an industrial scale, so how can you be sure that you are taking the proper procedures to increase your chances of success? This solutions guide describes several maintenance approaches and explains how to pick and apply the best predictive maintenance (PdM) strategy for your company's mission-critical equipment.
