Predictive Maintenance
Maintenance 4.0An industry slang term for the emerging trend of predictive maintenance, which uses the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) to predict when equipment will require corrective maintenance so it can leverage Overall Equipment effectiveness (OEE) and avoid breakdowns. Predictive Maintenance Industry 4.0 has arrived, and with it, there’s a newContinue reading “Predictive Maintenance”
Proactive Maintenance
Less grease more often is better than more grease less often.
Preventive Maintenance
Reactive maintenanceRepairs to equipment that is already broken down with a focus on restoring equipment to its normal operating condition. Known as “breakdown maintenance.” Preventive Maintenance Lubrication-related equipment failures happen every single day, costing an estimated $1 trillion a year in reactive maintenance, downtime and lost productivity in the United States. Proper preventive maintenance canContinue reading “Preventive Maintenance”
