Predictive maintenance

What does it mean to do predictive and preventive maintenance? In terms of the service proposed by Veil Energy, it means having complete autonomy of control over your machinery. At every level, small, medium and large companies need efficient equipment and sustainable energy systems. Predictive maintenance is one way to ensure that they are always in perfect condition.

Preventive and predictive maintenance, the advantages

At Veil Energy, our main aim is to uncover hidden energy, and at the same time encourage conscious, aware and sustainable use of the energy available. Companies are not always aware that maintenance can save energy, time and money. Catching any faults in a system or industrial machinery in time (or even in advance) is an advantage across the board.

Companies that access the possibility of predictive maintenance through condition monitoring, in fact:

• extend the life of their machinery;
• organise company time better because they reduce machine downtime;
• ensure the health and protection of workers;
• save energy and consequently money;
• avoid releasing toxic fumes from a malfunctioning machine into the environment.

How predictive maintenance works

Thanks to software such as our e.boost,

companies can periodically check the health of their machinery and systems. Clear and intuitive reports make an anomaly immediately obvious: excessive energy consumption is enough to set off alarm bells in machine maintainers. In that case, immediate action can be taken, reducing machine downtime during maintenance and therefore work stoppages.

But there is something else that is even more useful for those working with numerous complex and delicate machines. Predictive maintenance algorithms make a real prediction of when and how they might fail, so that an appropriate intervention can be scheduled before it happens. In short, they assure the company that the machinery is checked and fixed before it even shows the signs of time. And if the person in charge of the control forgets a date? No worries: our software automatically creates calendars that can be downloaded to a device or printed out and kept in plain sight next to the machine.

Doing predictive and preventive maintenance is useful in reducing energy waste: a machine that is malfunctioning (or not working) is a pollution certainty. Just think of the heating system in an office: if it is not checked regularly, it will tend to heat less and consume more gas or other forms of combustible or renewable energy.

The same thing happens in all machinery that uses energy to function. Maintenance will devise the necessary steps to ensure its proper functioning, which will also have a positive impact on the safety of those working nearby or in close contact with the machine. The company will thus move towards a sustainable transition on all fronts.
