Maintenance

Maintenance refers to the management of equipment, systems, and infrastructure throughout their lifecycle, focusing on both day-to-day operations and long-term upkeep.

It includes preventive maintenance actions, repairs, and updates aimed at avoiding failures, extending service life, and maintaining performance, ultimately improving the lifecycle of the entire production facility.

Effective maintenance is critical for production plants, infrastructure, and other essential systems as it directly impacts operational reliability, cost-efficiency, and safety.

Modern operations and maintenance strategies often incorporate digital technologies such as IoT devices, sensors, and maintenance management systems. These enable real-time monitoring, predictive analytics, and efficient resource management.
