IoT in Maintenance: Connecting Devices for Real-Time Insights
The Internet of Things (IoT) revolution has transformed maintenance from periodic checklists into continuous, data-driven processes. By wiring equipment with smart sensors, organizations gain unprecedented visibility into asset health—fueling proactive repairs and efficiency gains.
#### Market Growth & Adoption Rates
The global predictive maintenance market is expected to grow at a 17 percent CAGR through 2028, driven largely by IoT deployments that feed analytics engines. In Europe, 28 percent of manufacturing companies now use IoT sensors specifically to track maintenance needs, reflecting broad recognition of its value in industrial settings.
#### Core IoT Components for Maintenance
1. Vibration & Acoustic Sensors: Tri-axial accelerometers detect imbalances or bearing wear, while acoustic microphones capture ultrasonic emissions from leaking valves.
2. Temperature & Thermal Imaging: Digital thermal cameras and RTD sensors monitor equipment hotspots, alerting teams to excessive friction or electrical resistance.
