What is Predictive Maintenance (PdM), and Why is it Important?
Predictive Maintenance (PdM), also known as Condition-based or Proactive Maintenance, combines advanced sensors with machine learning to anticipate equipment failures before they occur. While reactive maintenance operates on failure-driven protocols, which often cause expensive downtime, preventive maintenance relies on rigid schedules that rarely align with actual equipment conditions. In stark contrast, PdM uses real-time vibration
