Cheaper, faster and instantly – that’s the rhythm in industry and especially when it comes to producing goods. That is supposed to be achieved factories, always being up and running. To keep the system running, a sophisticated maintenance regime is required, only stopping machines when absolutely necessary. Wasting productive time with too many inspection activities or running into failures are no option. Data collection and analytics are identified as key enablers to realize and ensure such reliable production system. Predictive maintenance (PdM) – the estimate of a machine’s future health condition and its risk for failure in order to plan maintenance activities – becomes the key tool for profitable machine operations. However, with PdM, new skills, tools and methods have to be introduced.
