The use of IoT technologies is increasing within business industries. IoT has changed how we all communicate and how fast and easy it is to gather and obtain data globally. IoT technologies are providing real-time solutions for businesses and changing how businesses operate altogether. Predictive management is a common use in IoT.
“Predictive maintenance incorporates machine learning software that analyzes data to predict outcomes and automate actions. Predictive capabilities allow service providers to move beyond the traditional reactive and scheduled maintenance business model to use data and analysis to identify issues before they become critical, allowing technicians to intervene before customers even realize there's a problem.” (What is IoT)
This type of usage of IoT technologies creates solutions for businesses before the problem even takes place. Predictive maintenance can predict what will and can happen and how to fix it before the problem is a problem. This in turn reduces costs for the business because of the ability to forecast what could go wrong and prevent it from happening. It’s real-time access to the potential issues with your resources. Businesses use this tool to better manage their assets.
Nothing is perfect and things do break or become outdated. So having the ability to know what can happen before it’s happening and being able to prevent any downtime that could take place due to faulty equipment or products sets this use of IoT apart.
