Predictive maintenance is a maintenance method used to detect potential problems before a machine or equipment fails. This type of maintenance, unlike maintenance methods based on a specific time interval or period of use, monitors the actual condition of the machine and determines when maintenance is required.
What is predictive maintenance? continuously monitors machine performance and identifies potential problems by monitoring specific indicators. These indicators can be vibration, noise, temperature, pressure and other parameters. When these indicators of the machine begin to deviate from normal, this may indicate the presence of a problem and preventative maintenance may be required to prevent the problem from escalating.
What is preventive maintenance? The maintenance carried out to reduce the regular maintenance costs of the machines and to prevent the loss of production caused by the malfunctions is called preventive maintenance. It can also increase productivity and efficiency by reducing maintenance time and cost. Predictive maintenance is an approach that requires less maintenance and allows for longer-lasting machines. Preventive maintenance usually consists of several steps. In the data collection step, relevant data from the machine is collected and analyzed. During the analysis phase, the data is examined and the causes of possible malfunctions in the machine are determined. The forecasting phase is where the causes of problems in the machine are estimated and the dates of possible failures are determined.
Finally, the preventive maintenance phase is when problems with the machine are prevented or fixed before minor problems grow. Preventive maintenance can extend the life of the machine and reduce the costs caused by breakdowns. This approach is also considered an environmentally friendly approach because reducing unnecessary maintenance reduces energy and resource use and reduces the carbon footprint. Predictive comes from the word meaning to take a nap. The process of predicting the results according to some scenarios is valuable in terms of predicting some problems.
