Abstract

Optimal maintenance is one of the key concerns for asset-intensive industries in terms of reducing downtime and occurring costs. The advancement of data-driven technologies, affordable computing powers, and growing amounts of data introduced a paradigm with the name of predictive maintenance (PdM). PdM seeks to find out an optimal moment for the maintenance of an asset, where no early intervention leads to undue extra cost, and no late maintenance activity poses a safety risk. With the instrumentation of the cyber-physical system on assets, PdM transforms a typical structure into a smart structure that can send warnings in cases of near failure states. However, several practical challenges hamper the adoption of PdM solutions within industries. This article outlines a typical PdM modeling framework and its key components. Additionally, the adoption challenges, along with alternatives for implementation of the PdM solution are provided. This article concludes by offering several research directions that can accelerate the PdM adoption procedure.
