DSI has focused on design data interoperability for more than thirty years. We realized that, should programs or organizations make an investment into the creation of any data artifacts during the design development or the design sustainment lifecycle(s) they’re covered in either or both lifecycle(s)!

Predictive Maintenance, or “PdM”, can be considered to be the most advanced form of Preventative Maintenance, in referring to the optimizing of the sustainment approach for a fielded asset.  It’s primary approach includes the developing of the methods and means to detect and rectify failures of an equipment or system sufficiently in advance of the failure(s). Predictive Maintenance infers that specifically-defined impending failures will be identified, or “prognosed” in advance or their “failure” as characterized and defined from an operational perspective. This approach may typically consider the development or reliance upon a variety of either existing or newly developed, specialized sensors and include the associated maintenance method(s) capable of providing such knowledge of the progression towards a realized failure.
