More efficient way of working Generally, predictive maintenance enables a more efficient way of working. Avoiding lastminute changes because of breakdowns is just a better way for an organisation to operate. Of course, not everything is predictable - the nature of the marine industry means that extreme, unforeseen weather can occur and cause problems that were literally impossible to predict or make contingency plans for. Despite this, the ability to foresee problems and solve them before they become a huge issue is one that certainly improves business efficiency. In conclusion As with any industry, being able to predict when things may go wrong of breakdown can only be a positive thing. The remoteness of some of the equipment, the difficulty of access to some locations and the expense of last-minute reactive maintenance are all important things to note. When you add to this the significance of reduced downtime and even the impact on the health and safety of employees, we see how predictive maintenance can benefit the marine industry.
