BENEFITS OF PREDICTIVE
MAINTENANCE
3.1 Increased Equipment Uptime and Reliability
By spotting and fixing possible equipment issues before they
happen, predictive maintenance reduces unplanned downtime.
Organizations may increase uptime and boost dependability by
proactively servicing equipment, depending on its state.
3.2 Cost Reduction and Optimal Resource
Allocation
By eliminating unneeded maintenance activities and optimizing
resource allocation, predictive maintenance helps lower
maintenance costs. Since maintenance chores are planned
based on the actual state of the equipment, there is less of a
need for regular inspections and only when it is required to
replace components.
3.3 Increased Safety and Preventing
Catastrophic Failures
Predictive maintenance increases safety by continually
monitoring equipment conditions by identifying possible risks or
failure modes. Preventative maintenance measures avert
catastrophic failures, which can cause mishaps, injuries, or
property damage.
