Predictive maintenance is one of the most tangible applications in Industry 4.0 and is defined as a maintenance process based on the analysis of process and machine data. This real-time processing of the underlying data makes predictions which form the basis for needs-based maintenance and consequently the reduction of downtime possible. Predictive maintenance techniques are used to determine the condition of equipment in operation in order to predict when maintenance should be performed.
