Predicting the future of equipment and preventing it from catastrophic failure based on the present condition of the equipment is called predictive maintenance. The present condition of the equipment is monitored using condition-monitoring techniques like vibration, noise, temperature…etc. Developing faults can be identified by measuring and trending the vibration. The root cause of the fault can be detected by performing a frequency analysis of the vibration.
