FAQ
Predictive maintenance ROI and condition-based service
ROI and savings levers
How does the calculator estimate predictive maintenance ROI?
It combines avoided machine downtime, reduced maintenance labour and lower spare-parts spend. The monthly benefit is compared with implementation at EUR 140/hour excl. VAT.
Which downtime costs belong in the business case?
Include lost output, idle labour, restart scrap and delivery consequences. Calculate the value by machine or production line so that bottleneck assets are not understated.
Why are maintenance hours and spare parts separate inputs?
Condition-based maintenance avoids unnecessary routine work and makes parts demand more predictable. That benefit exists separately from recovered production time and should not disappear inside one generic outage percentage.

Turn maintenance data into a business case
We assess failure history, sensor options and maintenance workflows.
Data, pilot and implementation
What data does predictive maintenance need?
Common signals include vibration, temperature, current, runtime, alarms and maintenance events. A first pilot can focus on a few meaningful signals from one critical asset; a complete data lake is not required.
How long does a credible pilot take?
Sensors and ingestion are often operational within four to eight weeks. A useful comparison needs enough normal and failure behaviour, making three to six months realistic for a pilot.
When is condition monitoring better than predictive AI?
With few recorded failures, transparent thresholds and trend rules usually deliver value sooner. Machine learning becomes useful when sufficient historical signals exist and complex patterns recur before faults.
Typical pricing models (overview)
| Model | When it fits | Budget & flexibility | Typical risks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed price (fixed scope) | Clearly defined scope, stable requirements, repeatable delivery. | Predictable total cost; little room for change without a change order. | Scope creep leads to change orders or quality trade-offs. |
| Time & Material | Discovery, legacy, evolving requirements, or close collaboration. | Maximum flexibility; budget transparent via hourly or daily rates. | Without prioritisation, effort can grow—backlog and reviews matter. |
| Retainer / maintenance package | Ongoing operations, updates, small features, and support. | Agreed capacity per month; predictable follow-on cost. | Large changes may still need a separate estimate. |
| Hybrid (milestone + T&M) | MVP or phased releases with clear go-lives, then iterate. | Core delivery fixed price; extensions on a time-and-materials basis. | Define contractually what is in scope vs. extra work. |
