EVOLUTION OF PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE SOFTWARE

The history of preventive or preventative maintenance software dates back to the early days of computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS) in the 1960s. These systems were primarily used to manage work orders, inventory, and equipment records.

In the 1980s and 1990s, the focus shifted towards predictive maintenance, which used sensors and other technologies to monitor equipment performance and predict failures. However, this approach was expensive and required a high level of technical expertise. As computing power increased and software became more sophisticated, the focus returned to preventive maintenance in the 2000s.

The development of web-based software and mobile apps made it easier to manage maintenance tasks and track equipment performance.

Today, preventative maintenance software has evolved to include features such as asset tracking, work order management, scheduling, reporting, and analytics. With the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI), the future of preventive maintenance software looks promising, with even more advanced capabilities to improve equipment performance and efficiency.
