For each type of industrial equipment, a specific maintenance strategy can be put in place. Predictive maintenance is the best way to optimize the replacement of equipment that is still functional, while avoiding the consequences that this entails.
Preventive maintenance consists in intervening on equipment at regular intervals.
Its primary objective is toreduce the risk of breakdowns of machines as well as their frequency, and to limit the risk of malfunction.It also helps reduce costs via a lower maintenance budget. Finally, equipment that is well maintained on time ultimately improves working conditions for employees.
What are the benefits?
Preventive maintenance offers several significant advantages for companies.
First of all the reduction of unplanned breakdowns, the improvement of equipment reliability and the extension of its lifespan. In addition, it enables optimized performance, reduced maintenance costs and improved safety.
Finally, in many sectors there are specific regulations and standards relating to preventive maintenance. By implementing a preventive maintenance plan, organizations can comply with these regulatory requirements and avoid potential legal problems or sanctions.
