…connectivity throughout the facility, maintenance managers and technicians can gain more insight than ever into the real-time performance, health, and status of machinery. Sensors and other condition monitoring tools can be aftermarket or integrated into the equipment, as with many newer machines. These devices provide ongoing data that can help detect the initial stages of potential failure modes, well before unplanned downtime occurs. This early detection strategy can help technicians to predict potential problems and choose low-impact times to diagnose them and perform any necessary maintenance. A more proactive approach is more cost-effective than reactive maintenance. Inventory management Inventory monitoring…
