When developing effective facility operations strategies, facility management tactics and practices are an essential part of the planning process. While facility managers have traditionally relied on preventive maintenance, as a proactive asset management methodology, there is a significant shift to predictive maintenance (PdM) due to real-time data becoming more prevalent, and machine learning providing better insights into potential areas of risk.

Overcoming the Knowledge Gap

Every plant has that one person (or two or three people) who can look at data or metrics about a piece of equipment and spot problems before they happened. Unfortunately, many skilled workers are now leaving the workforce, taking with them essential expertise. The solution is to look at an expert system that can help capture institutional knowledge and suggest actions when certain conditions are detected.

DIU Brings Predictive Maintenance to the Navy

The U.S. Navy is planning to use artificial intelligence-based predictive maintenance. The technology aims to eliminate unplanned downtime for critical shipboard systems powered by pumps and motors. Failure of such devices in a land-based plant or facility is disruptive enough. At sea, and in combat situations, breakdowns can endanger the crew. The initiative, which is headed by the Defense Innovation Unit, builds on previous Department of Defense AI-based predictive maintenance programs for the Army and Air Force.
