Should I invest in predictive maintenance?

When to Invest

• You have critical rotating equipment (pumps, compressors, generators)
• You have sensors installed or can install them
• You have historical failure data or can collect it
• Your unplanned failures cost more than $50K per event
• You have more than 5 critical equipment units

When to Wait

• No sensors on critical equipment
• Data is recorded on paper, not digitally
• Very low failure rate (less than 1 per year)
• Equipment is non-critical (failure does not stop production)

How to Decide

Take the free Readiness Assessment. It scores your facility across 4 dimensions and estimates your potential savings. If your score is above 60, predictive maintenance is likely worth the investment.
