A reliable maintenance program is comprised of a balanced maintenance approach, integrating time-based preventive maintenance (PM) and condition-based maintenance tasks. UGL Unicco develops a tailored maintenance plan based on equipment failure modes, which ensures the most effective approach is applied. Where equipment demonstrates random failure rates, we employ predictive maintenance (PdM) technologies such as oil analysis, vibration analysis, infrared thermography, and ultrasonics. The technologies are utilized to monitor equipment conditions and forecast impending equipment problems, which allows proactive intervention before failure occurs. For equipment that typically exhibits failure rates that increase with age due to wearout, PM time-based tasking is scheduled and applied to adjust, lubricate, clean, or overhaul the equipment before failure occurs. The result is less unnecessary PM and more effective PdM, further reducing costs and failures, while increasing overall uptime.
