Preventive Maintenance

Preventive maintenance is increasingly used by businesses, especially in the industrial sector. More efficient than curative or corrective maintenance, it has many advantages in improving the productivity of factories by reducing the frequency and average time of production stoppages for maintenance activities.

Setting up a preventive maintenance plan makes it possible both to extend the life of industrial equipment and to improve the productivity of the company by reducing the probability of unexpected breakdowns, while facilitating the work of maintenance technicians. By anticipating the wear and tear of machines by setting up a schedule or monitoring their state of deterioration, it helps to avoid their immobilization during unexpected incidents that are very harmful to the productivity of a factory.

This type of maintenance can also meet certain regulatory provisions or the recommendations of manufacturers applying to a production tool. This is why preventive maintenance is becoming increasingly popular with companies, for example for the maintenance of hydraulic systems, medical devices or in the cosmetics sector.
