Preventative Maintenance
Preventative maintenance refers to scheduled, routine maintenance to help keep equipment up and running which will greatly aid in preventing unplanned downtime and expensive costs from unanticipated equipment failure.
Preventive maintenance offers companies a number of important benefits including:
- Prolonged life of company equipment
- Less unplanned downtime caused by equipment failure
- Less unnecessary maintenance and inspections
- Fewer errors in day-to-day operations
- Improved reliability of equipment
- Fewer expensive repairs caused by unexpected equipment failure that must be fixed quickly
- Reduced risk of injury
Ideally, a preventive maintenance schedule will prevent all equipment failure before it occurs. It will save time, reduce costs, and keep an operation running efficiently and productively.

Predictive Maintenance
Predictive Maintenance allows for safety compliance, preemptive corrective actions, and increased asset life. By looking ahead, and knowing what failure is likely to occur when, pre-emptive investigations, maintenance schedule adjustments, and repairs can be performed before the asset fails.
Snapshot Your System
Starting with a healthy snapshot of your system, IDS can develop a predictive maintenance monitoring solution for your equipment that watches for creeps in electrical and fluid power consumption.
Sensors
Our team can also implement additional sensors to monitor mechanical components as well as temperature variations, looking for signs of creep outside of the healthy base point.
