Equipment maintenance refers to the regular upkeep and servicing of machinery and tools to ensure they operate efficiently and safely. This process includes routine inspections, cleaning, lubrication, and repairs. Proper maintenance helps prevent breakdowns, extends the lifespan of equipment, and reduces the risk of accidents. Effective equipment maintenance can be categorized into two main types: preventive maintenance and corrective maintenance. Preventive maintenance involves scheduled tasks aimed at preventing issues before they occur, while corrective maintenance addresses problems after they have been identified. Both approaches are essential for maintaining the reliability of industrial equipment and tools.
