PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE

TECHNOLOGIES

2.1 Internet of Things (IoT) and Connectivity

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of linked

devices that can share and gather data.

IoT makes it possible to link equipment and sensors for

predictive maintenance, enabling the collection of

real-time data.

Connectivity facilitates the transfer of data to
centralized systems for processing and guarantees

smooth communication between devices.

2.2 Data Acquisition and Monitoring

Data acquisition is the process of gathering pertinent
information from a variety of sources, including sensors,

machinery, and maintenance logs.

Monitoring equipment conditions in real-time yields

useful information on variables like temperature,

vibration, and energy usage.

Organizations can track the health and performance of

their equipment through continuous data monitoring
and gathering, which makes predictive maintenance

easier.
