By collecting, processing, storing and providing relevant system or machine data, condition monitoring provides the necessary basis for the use of predictive maintenance. The two methods complement each other through their functions on the following levels:
An example of the use of condition monitoring and predictive maintenance is the operation of coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) and machine tools in production. With both device types, control data such as program sequences or machine errors as well as additional data from temperature and vibration sensors are continuously extracted and stored. The data is made accessible for visualization in a dashboard, so that machine operators know at a glance the operating states of many machine tools on the shop floor or CMMs in possibly different measuring rooms. As soon as a program has finished running, a machine error occurs or the environmental conditions become problematic, this is recognized via the dashboard. This allows one operator to attend to more machines or equipment more reliably without having to be on site all the time.
At the same time, the operator receives a message via the predictive maintenance functionalities of the software as soon as a critical system condition is predicted in the short or medium term. This can relate to the wear of a tool for the machine tool, to a machine component such as a bearing, or to the gage capability of the CMM. In this way, necessary maintenance, calibration or service activities can be predicted and planned before unplanned and therefore expensive downtime occurs.

What is predictive maintenance?
Predictive maintenance is a proactive maintenance strategy that uses condition monitoring data to evaluate the condition of assets and predict potential failures. The aim of predictive maintenance is to minimize unplanned downtime by carrying out maintenance before the system fails. At the same time, only necessary maintenance is carried out, which significantly reduces maintenance costs.
What distinguishes predictive maintenance from condition monitoring?
Condition monitoring monitors the condition of systems and uses sensors and measuring devices to collect data that is required and provided for predictive maintenance. The latter applies machine learning algorithms to this data to predict maintenance before a failure occurs.
What are the areas of application for predictive maintenance?
Predictive maintenance is used in various industries to avoid breakdowns and optimize maintenance work. In the manufacturing industry, machine and plant data can be used to carry out needs-based maintenance. In the transport industry, on the other hand, predictive maintenance can be used for transport vehicles for the same purpose. Energy producers can optimize the utilization and maintenance of power plants and wind farms.
