It&#8217;s used to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Prevent catastrophic failures<\/li><li> Increase asset availability through less downtime and less time wasted through &#8216;no fault found&#8217; tests<\/li><li> Extend maintenance cycles <\/li><li> Execute timely repair<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The overall aim is to lower lifecycle costs via fewer inspections, repairs and manual inspections. It can be applied to all types of assets across all sectors but is particularly applicable to manufacturing, industry and infrastructure. Infrastructure includes roads and ports as well as utility industries such as water, power and gas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prognostics and in-situ testing isn&#8217;t new. However, what <strong>is<\/strong> new is substantially improved viability and economics. New sensors, such as beacons, are easier to use, can be attached to legacy equipment and have much lower costs. The cost of connectivity and cloud storage is also decreasing. This means more assets can be retro-actively connected and the sharing of data across assets and platforms enables a more complete operating picture. This opens up new business opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The paper explains the four main types of prognostic management strategies: corrective, fixed-interval preventative, failure-finding, and condition-based maintenance (CBM).
