The term ‘predictive maintenance’ describes techniques to determine the condition of in-service equipment. These methods are often used in the power, and oil and gas industries to indicate when maintenance is required on machinery. Predictive maintenance is a key process in many operations, and recent developments in technology hold new hope for the effectiveness of these methods.

In conjunction with condition monitoring, the method uses historical data taken from similar machinery and equipment, to help spot signs of deterioration as well as estimate longevity. The approach helps to reduce costs and time spent on maintenance, allowing companies to schedule corrective maintenance and prevent failures or breakages. By estimating when maintenance is due, companies are able to prepare by sourcing parts, equipment and labour.

Predictive maintenance saves money and time, allowing the power industry to thrive

The predictive maintenance technique is often utilised in the energy sector through the power, and oil and gas industries; where it has an integral role.
