Preventive vs predictive maintenance
When fixed intervals make sense, when condition-based monitoring pays off, and how to mix them.
MachineAgent reads sensor data, runtime logs and work orders to spot failing bearings, motors and spindles early, then schedules maintenance — for plant and maintenance managers.
