What is Industrial Maintenance?

Industrial Maintenance is very important on factory strategy. Planning your maintenance preventive to your team is quiet important and only the help of a CMMS can help you to do it.

Thank you for such an interesting article. I have really enjoyed reading this and I will be returning to find out more in the future about boilers.

Note also the use of "predictive" maintenance techniques, not mentioned in the article. With these, the goal is to monitor running equipment in order to detect the development of problems and act before they actually occur. This usually means also that the equipment can be left running and the repair can be planned with time to ensure the lowest-cost (in lost-production) maintenance action.

Will Preventive Maintenance solve all the failures in our plants? ​If preventive maintenance can prevent all failures, will there not be any failures? What is your opinion?

I work as an electrical/maintenance mechanic. Although the hours are long, my job is so varied it's different almost daily. I couldn't think of any other job where it's not boring or rountine as an industrial maintenance technician. I am an electrician, maintenance mechanic and a combination welder with about 20 years experience.

A few years ago I worked in a large factory as part of their industrial maintenance team. This team included 22 people all with a specialized skill. One guy was a machinist, another was a welder and we had 3 HVAC guys. Their only job was to keep the factory and all its equipment in perfect running order. This job is really bigger and more varied than people realize.

I work in industrial maintenance and it is one of the most interesting, complicated and stressful jobs you can imagine.

I work at a factory that builds parts for transmissions and almost anything that can go wrong has gone wrong at some point while I've worked...
