Introduction
Equipment downtime costs money. Predicting failures before they happen transforms maintenance from reactive to proactive.
The Business Case
Cost Comparison:
• Reactive Maintenance: 100% (baseline)
• Preventive Maintenance: 60-70%
• Predictive Maintenance: 20-40%
Industries Benefiting Most
• Manufacturing (25-30% savings)
• Utilities (30-40% savings)
• Transportation (20-35% savings)
• HVAC & Building Systems (15-25% savings)
Conclusion
Predictive maintenance transforms maintenance from cost center to value driver.
