The ways in which predictive maintenance continues to improve how manufacturers are handling taking care of their machinery and equipment cannot be understated. Predictive maintenance draws upon technology such as industrial sensors, including steam flow measurement sensors, vibration sensors, ultrasonic sensors, and more to ensure any given piece of equipment is operating at its highest potential. The sensors carry out different monitoring functions but are all designed to identify the very beginnings of potential failure states in equipment. By identifying these patterns early on, maintenance technicians can schedule less intrusive times for troubleshooting and potential remedies, rather than needing to take equipment out of service right away. This means that, under the guise of a predictive maintenance schedule, maintenance is targeted only to equipment that may require it, leading to reduced inventory turnover. Similarly to being able to ensure reduced inventory turnover, this maintenance approach can also aid in reducing unexpected downtime in equipment. It’s clear that predictive maintenance and the technologies associated with it are improving the health of equipment for manufacturers.
