Predictive Maintenance is the standard for today’s industrial machinery.  Predictive Maintenance (sometimes called Condition Monitoring) allows plants and facilities to accurately predict when service and repairs are due.  Predictability comes with many significant and important benefits for your plant.

Benefits of Predictive Maintenance (PDM):

• Allows you to schedule time for downtime and repairs – instead of being forced to deal with an unplanned breakdown.
• Allows you to budget money for machinery maintenance.
• Saves you money because proper maintenance helps you avoid costly breakdowns.
• Improves efficiency of machinery with optimally tuned equipment.

Today’s Predictive Maintenance methods supersede the old-fashioned methods of “if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it.”  This old method was costly and in today’s business climate, too costly for most plants.  If your plant is still operating this way, Lindsay Engineering can help.

Three methods of Maintenance Compared:

• Reactive: Wait until a failure, then fix it.  This method is costly and causes unnecessary downtime.
• Preventative: Greasing bearings, tuning machinery, changing belts, and rebuilding machinery.
• Predictive: Most up-to-date method, increases reliability considerably.  Collecting and analyzing data on your machinery is on-going.  We measure such issues as vibration, temperatures and leaks.  Predicts when maintenance is needed and can be scheduled and budgeted accordingly.

Lindsay Engineering develops your Predictive Maintenance (PdM) program to your organizations specific needs.  Our staff first meets with your organization to discuss goals, issues and parameters of the Predictive Maintenance Program.  We then formulate the right plan for you that allows you to take ownership of the solution in a cost-effective manner.
