As part of the crescendo of noise surrounding the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), predictive maintenance is generally viewed as one of the most compelling initial arguments for moving forward.

Chipmakers have begun to shift to predictive maintenance for process tools, but the hefty investment in analytics and engineering efforts means it will take some time for smart maintenance to become a ...

Maybe you don’t think much about it when a machine is new. But over time, a machining center is going to require more than routine maintenance. Sooner or later mechanical components are going to wear, ...

Predictive maintenance is emerging as a necessity for aerospace and defense (A&D) systems. By leveraging advanced analytics to monitor equipment health and anticipate failures, operators can ...

Predictive maintenance, based on more and better sensor data from semiconductor manufacturing equipment, can reduce downtime in the fab and ultimately cut costs compared with regularly scheduled ...

The benefit comes from combining cycle counts and process monitoring data from the historian database instead of relying on hours-based scheduling methods. Manufacturers should move beyond hours-based ...

Members pictured from left to right. The concept of predictive maintenance is familiar to anyone who has owned a car—you regularly have the vehicle inspected, change fluids, replace tires, change ...
