Overview

     The Industrial Predictive Maintenance – Awareness Level program provides a comprehensive introduction to predictive maintenance concepts used in modern manufacturing industries. Participants will understand the common failure mechanisms of industrial motors, pumps, gearboxes, conveyors and HVAC systems through real industrial case studies and failure analysis. The course explains why industries are shifting from reactive and preventive maintenance to condition-based and predictive maintenance. It introduces commonly used sensing technologies, industrial communication systems, software platforms, data acquisition methods, international maintenance standards, safety requirements, and implementation strategies. The program also evaluates the technical and economic feasibility of deploying predictive maintenance in conventional industrial environments.
