What is Preventive Maintenance Software?

Preventive maintenance (PM) is routine, scheduled maintenance performed to lessen the possibility of equipment or asset failure. Preventive maintenance software will generate a schedule of PM tasks, making it simpler to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines. These schedules and inspections help spot issues before they occur.

Maintenance intervals can be scheduled based on time, operating hours, or part condition—triggering a work order just before the point when system inefficiencies or failures begin to occur. Use of preventive maintenance software also ensures equipment is properly calibrated and lubricated when it needs to be. Properly maintained assets perform more efficiently, use less energy, and fail less often—extending their usable life.

When a maintenance team establishes and regularly performs PM tasks that contribute to the upkeep of assets, an organization may be able to sidestep serious problems that arise as a result of neglect, as well as delay more expensive maintenance.
