Predictive maintenance is a type of maintenance that tracks an asset's health, performance, status, safety, and various related metrics. Typically, the goal of predictive maintenance is to reduce expensive mishaps, prevent downtime, and offer manufacturers the opportunity to plan maintenance around their own production schedule. Predictive maintenance continuously analyzes the […]

Traditionally, in product development workflows, organizations have separate teams for design and analysis. When designers complete their models/work, they hand it over to analysis. The analysis team then performs simulation and ensures the models meet the requirements. If they don't meet requirements, models are then sent back to design for […]
