Maintenance management in the industrial sector: preventive maintenance over corrective maintenance

Industry is a broad description of manufacturing companies that are characterized by a production process that is highly mechanized and automated. A classic classification of industry is process manufacturing on one hand and discrete manufacturing on the other.

  • Process manufacturing comprises those companies of which the production process is process-oriented. For example: chemical industry, paint industry, paper manufacturing, refineries, ...
  • Discrete manufacturing is characterized by a production process that produces individual products. For example: textile industry, producers of machines and appliances, furniture industry, ...

The present economic climate constantly imposes new requirements on the industry. On a technological level, new challenges and possibilities arise rapidly. Customers always expect better quality products.

Regulations keep increasing, resulting in strict environmental legislation and higher expectations in the field of safety measures. And yet, budgetary means do not increase proportionally. In this context, it is important that you can quickly have key information and the correct tools at your disposal in order to achieve the business objectives and stay competitive.
