The use of infrared sensors and thermal cameras has become an essential tool for predictive maintenance across various industries. These devices allow for the detection of thermal anomalies in equipment and components, facilitating the identification of issues before they lead to catastrophic failures. Here are the benefits and applications of thermal monitoring in the context of predictive maintenance.

In the automotive industry, where efficiency and reliability are crucial, predictive maintenance emerges as an invaluable tool to ensure optimal vehicle performance and maximize customer satisfaction. This article explores how predictive maintenance is transforming the automotive landscape, offering significant benefits for both manufacturers and end-users.

Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) is an asset management methodology focused on maintaining the reliability and availability of critical equipment for an organization’s operation. This methodology was developed in the aerospace industry during the 1960s and has become a widely adopted approach across various industrial sectors.

Collecting and analyzing data from a wide range of installed equipment can benefit both processors and their OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers). However, implementing a predictive maintenance system can be costly and time-consuming. While condition monitoring tools such as infrared thermometers, ultrasonic probes, and vibration monitors are becoming more affordable, the initial cost remains a barrier for many companies.

Peter Drucker once said, "What gets measured gets managed." Balanced Scorecard Systems (BSC) are a tool that seeks to incorporate some non-financial aspects into traditional measurement systems for maintenance management, which condition the achievement of economic results. This was the first attempt to design indicators not previously considered in a company’s financial statements, with the aim of improving decision-making processes. BSC includes non-financial measurements to determine if the company is using the right processes and people to achieve optimal business performance.
