It is unplanned and treats a defective or damaged equipment or part when an issue occurs. Unfortunately, this approach can lead to production interruption at the worst point in time and consequently not only results in a production delay, but also has a high cost and therefore a negative impact on the profitability of your business.

In contrast it is proactive and planned. Supported by frequent and predefined inspections to monitor the condition of equipment and parts, maintenance activities are scheduled. The schedules are made in such a way, that they have minimal effect on the ongoing production and with the goal that nothing breaks between the planned maintenance interventions. Preventive maintenance addresses the asset’s technical need based on the type and volume of the production perfectly and achieves maximized reliability and availability at lowest maintenance cost.

Today’s digital and data technologies allow us to add the predictive element on top, not being bound by a fixed schedule, but merely do the intervention at the right point in time, at the sweet spot, where cost/benefit are at the maximum. We have a growing portfolio of features that will be introduced over the coming months and years.
