Reliability centered maintenance (RCM) is a critical component of any robust maintenance reliability program. Yet, historically, its value and efficacy have been overlooked by some because it is perceived as overly complicated or difficult to implement. These challenges are exacerbated when plants rely on old methods of data capture and analysis, making it difficult to retrieve the data required to optimize RCM. The industrial internet of things (IIoT) has changed the landscape of what’s possible in all facets of mechanical integrity—including RCM. With the latest digital and predictive technologies made possible by IIoT, the principles of RCM have become much easier to implement, as facilities are better prepared with rapid access to asset intelligence. This article examines how such technologies can be utilized to both simplify and improve processes for RCM at asset-intensive facilities.
