Preventive and Predictive Maintenance
Preventive and Predictive Maintenance are maintenance strategies that focus on the proactive identification and resolution of potential problems before they occur. They involve regularly scheduled inspections, tests, and maintenance activities to ensure that equipment is operating at peak efficiency and reliability. Preventive maintenance is designed to prevent equipment failure and reduce the need for emergency repairs, while predictive maintenance uses data-driven techniques such as vibration analysis, thermography, and oil analysis to detect potential problems before they become serious. This is an important part of any maintenance program, as they help to reduce downtime, improve safety, and extend the life of equipment.
