Condition Monitoring and
Predictive Maintenance differ in their approach to plant monitoring: While
Condition Monitoring monitors the current status of machines in real time, targets
Predictive Maintenance based on this data and forecasts, aims to predict future maintenance requirements. Predictive Maintenance therefore goes one step further by not only identifying problems, but also predicting them early on in order to avoid unplanned outages. Both approaches contribute to the optimization of operation and maintenance, with Predictive Maintenance being particularly efficient through AI-based analyses.
