Preventive and Predictive Maintenance (PdM)

PdM is a maintenance approach based on the notion that equipment should be maintained based upon its needs.  And the best way of determining equipment needs is to run some diagnostic tests on them, for example to see whether they are making a different noise than they were a short time ago or if a change in temperature has occurred.

A good example of PdM is infrared testing of heavy electrical equipment, using thermal images to find things that human eyes could not.  Most Facilities Managers wouldn’t just PM all this equipment when only some needs attention.  So why not the same approach for all the electrical equipment? Why not use a similar approach for all the building equipment?  We asked the same question then we went looking for a solution.

Balon Process Management is proud to have partnered with Design Maintenance Systems Inc., makers of MAINTelligence and InspectCE equipment management software.  These systems can be used alone or in conjunction with other CMMS system, employing a combined PdM/PM approach.   

Balon Process Management knows hospitals, maintenance systems and the regulatory requirements you’re trying to meet.  We can help you get the right maintenance approach on the right equipment.
