METHODS THAT
REDUCE MACHINE
DOWNTIME
Maintenance
managers say PDM is 4xmore
effective at reducing downtime than
reactive maintenance.
Predictive maintenance methods, such as
streaming real-time data into a CMMS,
reduce the chances of machine downtime
over other methods.
To reduce downtime with predictive
maintenance, use these common methods:
1 INFRARED
THERMOGRAPHY
To detect excessive heat in
components like bearings or circuitry
2 VIBRATION
ANALYSIS
To detect misalignments in rotating components
3 ULTRASOUND
MONITORING
To detect inaudible leaks or friction
4 LUBRICATION
TESTING
To detect metal particles in oil,
indicating grinding
