Predictive maintenance

What is predictive maintenance?
Predictive maintenance refers to a condition-based maintenance approach in which the optimum maintenance time is predicted based on operating data, sensor values and analyses. The aim is to prevent failures before they occur without carrying out unnecessary maintenance work.

Classification: opportunities, risks and added value
Predictive maintenance is primarily used in modern IT and data center environments where monitoring and analysis functions are available. The advantage lies in the maximum utilization of the hardware service life with simultaneously reduced failure risks. Risks lie in the complexity of implementation and the quality of the underlying data. The added value is reflected in higher availability, more efficient maintenance and lower operating costs in the long term.
