Proactive maintenance

Proactive maintenance refers to a collection of activities, inspections, tests and procedures that are used to prevent the failure of equipment, a machine or a material in the future. It focuses on determining potential root causes of machine or material failure, and dealing with those issues before problems occur.

  • Applying corrosion inhibitor coatings to metallic surfaces.
  • Performing inspections to look for cracks, leaks and rust spotting.
  • Performing tests to look for surface material thinning or erosion of pipelines.
  • Lubricating machines to reduce wear, tear and diffusion corrosion.
  • New Program Start-up

It is critical to set a jump-off point and a vision for the future of the program. Best practices for organizations involve outlining goals, creating a startup plan and identifying ways to achieve buy-in from staff.

  • Technology Selection

Different assets require a mix of technologies, including mechanical, electrical and processes. For e.g. Screening Tools, Thermal Imagers, oil analysis, Troubleshooting Tools, Electric Testing, Process Tools, Diagnostic Tools, Vibration Tester &  Corrective Tool.

  • Data Management Integration

A key method to staying on track with goals is Data Management supported by a CMMS or SaaS software to support data capturing and analysis. With organization data collected, you can monitor and track timely completion of critical work and impact on up time.

  • Integrated Tools & Sensors

Combined with a CMMS, condition monitoring software enables maintenance managers to remotely monitor multiple assets. It also allows for producing asset alarms and multiple data graphs per asset with correlating current, voltage, temperature, vibration and power quality monitoring.
