In most factories, 70% of the maintenance plans are still reactively operated and parts are replaced/repaired when they are failed, or over-maintenance is practiced with continuous and excessive maintenance even if the part performs as intended, aimed to prevent delays or stoppages in the factory.
In both solutions, maintenance costs are very high, and especially due to unplanned downtime, the factory suffers additional costs not only for the cost of the part but also due to the production loss. The optimum solution to this problem is provided by predictive maintenance, which introduces estimation of possible failure, by processing data from sensors and planning of maintenance works.
Predictive maintenance, ensures up to 70% reduction in unplanned downtime, increases equipment availability around 10-20% and curbs total costs by an average of 10-30%.
