The October 19, 2022 report, authored and published by ON Point from Buildings IOT, explores Predictive maintenance (PdM) as a valuable addition to facility maintenance. PdM utilizes building data to enhance maintenance and equipment performance accurately. While promising, successful PdM implementation necessitates meticulous planning. The report advises engaging a master system integrator (MSI) to ensure readiness for digital solutions and tackle implementation challenges. Moreover, once the PdM program is operational, maximizing its potential becomes crucial. The report emphasizes leveraging analytics and advanced fault detection and diagnostics (FDD) to gain stakeholder buy-in and demonstrate the program’s success. When executed effectively, PdM initiatives can lead to substantial cost savings and operational efficiencies across portfolios.
