Journal Article · · Power Engineering (Barrington)
OSTI ID:455281

This article describes how new monitoring and diagnostic tools, combined with computer workstations that convert data into intelligence, can help save maintenance dollars. The new era of competitive power is putting a premium on working smarter: using all the modern technology available to minimize maintenance costs. The industry is moving from preventive maintenance (PM) to reliability centered maintenance (RCM) and predictive maintenance (PDM). PDM optimizes the combination of PM and RCM, along with new monitoring and diagnostic technologies, to save maintenance dollars by working smarter.
