How to move from reactive to proactive maintenance A plant’s overall success is heavily influenced by the effectiveness of its maintenance organization and how well maintenance activities are incorporated with the facility’s production schedule. With millions of dollars invested in equipment, manufacturers need to prioritize and even emphasize their maintenance strategy. Today, we’re seeing that…
Read MoreWhat’s the Difference Between Preventive, Proactive, and Predictive Maintenance?
Downtime in a plant or facility leads to lost productivity. It disrupts operations, causes maintenance staff to divert time from scheduled projects, and can have significant negative business implications, including lost revenue, significant unplanned expenses, missed deadlines and damage to a company’s reputation. To avoid these problems, manufacturers and facility and plant managers are moving…
Read MorePredictive Maintenance Requires Accurate Data
Predictive maintenance of equipment based on artificial intelligence models holds great promise. An asset management system could alert a plant or facilities manager that a piece of equipment is about to fail. However, predictions are only as good as the data they are based on. A false alarm triggered by a lack of data or inaccurate data can lead to incorrect actions and additional costs. Bottom line: predictive maintenance will only be able to predict those problems for which it already has accurate data.

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.
