The global market for Predictive Maintenance is projected to reach US$10 billion by 2025, driven by the growing value of predictive intelligence in asset management. Given that effective plant asset management and maintenance is the cornerstone for achieving excellence in manufacturing productivity, there is significant focus shed on technologies that help in more smart and efficient asset monitoring and maintenance. Legacy maintenance programs which are primarily static in nature and characterized by time-based manual inspection are growing out of favor and are being replaced by newer concepts such as predictive maintenance (PdM). Defined as a strategy where maintenance is scheduled at a future date based on analysis of sensor data measurements, PdM is proactive and is designed to increase reliability of machine and decrease their downtime. PdM is an advanced form of maintenance that offers benefits over and above condition-based maintenance (CbM) which utilizes real-t...
