FUTURE VISION: If industrial IoT sensors become so cheap they're essentially disposable, how would that change maintenance strategies from 'preventive maintenance' to something entirely new - and what would we call this new paradigm?

Question

Accepted Answer

That&#39;s a fascinating question! If IoT sensors become truly disposable, we&#39;d see a complete transformation in maintenance strategies. Instead of just predicting when equipment might fail (predictive maintenance), we&#39;d move to something much more dynamic and real-time. With disposable sensors everywhere, you could have continuous, ubiquitous monitoring of every component in real-time. This would shift us from &#39;predictive maintenance&#39; to what I&#39;d call &quot;Ubiquitous Condition Monitoring&quot; or &quot;Real-time Prescriptive Maintenance.&quot; The key difference is that instead of just telling you when something might fail, this new paradigm would constantly monitor every aspect of equipment health and automatically prescribe exactly what needs to be done, when, and why. It&#39;s like having a doctor constantly monitoring your vital signs and immediately prescribing treatment at the first sign of trouble, rather than just scheduling check-ups. Some might call it &quot;Continuous Adaptive Maintenance&quot; or &quot;Autonomous Maintenance Optimization.&quot; The disposable sensors would create a self-healing ecosystem where maintenance becomes almost invisible - issues are detected and addressed before they even become problems. What do you think about this vision?
