What is predictive maintenance (PdM)? It’s the application of instrumentation and intelligence to help determine the condition of equipment and whether maintenance should be performed to avoid downtime. 

Predictive maintenance differs from preventive maintenance because it usually applies machine learning to understand current conditions and extrapolate, with increasing accuracy, when maintenance will be needed to avoid downtime. A computerized maintenance management system (CMMS), typically in the form of a software package, is often employed as part of a predictive program or incorporated into predictive-maintenance machine learning.
