Control Engineering Magazine’s May 2026 issue features an article written by Jim Toman – MES Functional Consultant at Grantek. This article is titled: “Machine data: The foundation of effective predictive maintenance”. Jim shares how traditional maintenance strategies, whether time-based or reactive, simply cannot keep pace with the complexity and risk tolerance of modern production environments. The shift toward predictive maintenance is well underway, and machine data is what makes it possible.

“Predictive maintenance works by identifying early warning signs of equipment degradation before a failure occurs. But those signals only become visible when you have the right data, collected continuously, from the right sources. Sensors embedded in motors, pumps, conveyors, fillers and mixers generate a constant stream of information about temperature, vibration, pressure, speed and energy consumption. On their own, these readings are raw and noisy. Combined with historical patterns and contextual production data, they become a powerful diagnostic tool.”
