Predictive Maintenance (PdM), also called condition-based assessment, evaluates the condition of your equipment by performing periodic (route-based) or continuous (online) equipment condition monitoring. The goal of PdM is to schedule a maintenance activity before the equipment loses optimum performance which is much more cost-effective. A PdM approach is in contrast to time and/or operation-based maintenance, where a equipment gets maintained whether it needs it or not. Time-based maintenance is often unnecessary, labor intensive, and ineffective in identifying problems that develop between scheduled inspections. This is not a cost-effective strategy.

The main premise of PdM is to allow scheduling of corrective maintenance, and to prevent failures and down-time. PdM is conducted in a non-invasive manner. Predictive maintenance differs from preventive maintenance because it relies on the actual condition of equipment, rather than Average Lifecycle, L-10 life, or bathtub curves, to predict when maintenance will be needed. Only 11% of failures occur due to age. What about the other 89% of problems that plague your equipment? That’s where our service can make the difference.

Some of the main components that are necessary for implementing PdM are data collection and preprocessing, early fault detection, fault detection, time to failure estimation, maintenance scheduling and resource optimization. PdM has been one of the driving forces for improving productivity industry wide.
