Key Things to Remember About Predictive Maintenance

So now let’s pull it all together!

Key things to remember from this series:

• Reactive maintenance is costly and ineffective.
• Predictive Maintenance has several benefits; it is cost-effective, increases safety, and reduces maintenance costs and equipment replacement expense due to unexpected failures. It also reduces financial loss due to lack of production and personnel downtime.
• You need a good Predictive Maintenance Plan that includes baseline measurements and a clearly defined inspection schedule.
• Infrared thermography should be a key component of the inspection part of your Predictive Maintenance Plan.

I hope you found this helpful. Next month, we're going to focus on heat loss and cutting your commercial energy bills. There's nothing like a few feet of snow on the ground to make you remember why it's important to keep that warm air INSIDE!
