Real-time Maintenance increases equipment availability, maintains machine throughput, and minimizes material losses The core of any Industry 4.0 initiative includes RtM, where machines communicate their status in real time and automatically plan maintenance. |

VV vibration monitoring with IO-Link integrates directly into your machine Monitor the common fault conditions of impact, component fatigue, friction, and temperature to schedule maintenance before major damage or catastophic failure. |

VSE programmable edge controller provides root cause feedback in real time Digital monitoring of rotating equipment is simplified by creating specific broad band and narrow band vibration indicatiors that continuously evaluate machine dynamics. |

LDP particle counter protects oil systems and detects mechanical wear The size and number of particles in oil determines the effectiveness of filtration systems and the amount of wear coming from the equipment. |

There are 3 basic types of industrial maintenance processes and each have costs associated with them.
- Reactive maintenance -- highest total cost of ownership. Run-to-failure strategy and unplanned downtime is usually more expensive than planned downtime and typically there is secondary damage to other components.
- Preventative maintenance -- downtime is scheduled prior to failure. Carries a high cost because parts and labor are consumed prematurely.
- Predictive or Condition-based maintenance -- uses RtM technology to optimize equipment use. Maintenance is performed only when necessary without production loss.
