What is the difference between predictive and preventive maintenance, and which should a mid-size factory use?

Preventive maintenance services equipment on a fixed schedule regardless of condition; predictive maintenance monitors equipment continuously and schedules repairs only when signs appear. A mid-size factory usually uses both: keep routine servicing, and add wireless sensors on critical rotating equipment so repairs move from time-based to condition-based. DHMSCare can start from one production line, and its own 20+ person on-site implementation team does the installation.
