Preventive maintenance is really important, specially regarding safety when it comes to fields like industry or engineering. Surely you have heard of the lifespan of a product, meaning how long will the product work correctly and when it’s going to need a replacement or maintenance.

Preventive maintenance
As you can tell by the name, preventive maintenance is a technique used to know approximately when an object will suffer a malfunction and thus, knowing when it’s the ideal moment to replace that object. This value is obtained considering a parameter that will determine the lifespan of the object (vibration or temperature, for example) and time.
The importance of preventive maintenance
In times of constant technological growth and innovation, it is especially important to deploy preventive maintenance, since we depend so much on the correct functioning of technology nowadays.
Take Mexico City subway, for example. The trains are in constant motion 18 hours a day every day, and millions of people count on the service to get to their destinations. Even if a small piece of machinery were to fail, the city would be paralyzed at an unquantifiable cost. Here is where preventive maintenance comes in.
No need to use big machinery though, we have pieces of equipment all around our homes, which need preventive maintenance as well. Remember to always consult an expert.
