Predictive maintenance in IoT is a revolutionary approach to managing the lifecycle and performance of machinery and equipment. By leveraging Internet of Things (IoT) devices, sensors, and data analytics, predictive maintenance helps identify and predict potential equipment failures before they occur, reducing downtime, optimizing maintenance schedules, and cutting operational costs.

Predictive maintenance uses data-driven insights to predict when equipment will fail or require servicing. Instead of relying on reactive maintenance (fixing things after they break) or scheduled preventive maintenance (servicing at fixed intervals), predictive maintenance monitors equipment in real time to assess the condition and predict failures based on data trends.
