Predictive Maintenance in FM
Predictive Maintenance (PdM) is revolutionising Facilities Management (FM) by leveraging real-time data, IoT sensors, and advanced analytics to anticipate failures before they occur. This proactive approach enables organisations to optimise maintenance schedules, reduce downtime, lower costs, and extend asset life.
At MCP Consulting Group, we help businesses implement and integrate predictive maintenance solutions, ensuring that FM operations become more efficient, data-driven, and future-ready.

What is
Predictive Maintenance in FM
Predictive Maintenance (PdM) in FM uses condition-monitoring technologies and data analytics to track asset performance and detect potential failures before they lead to costly breakdowns. By applying Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, organisations can shift from reactive or time-based maintenance to a condition-based approach that improves reliability and efficiency.
MCP helps organisations identify, deploy, and optimise PdM strategies, ensuring seamless integration with existing FM operations and digital systems.
Key Objectives of
Predictive Maintenance in FM
Detecting faults early to prevent failures and ensure continuous asset availability.

Minimising Unplanned Downtime
Extending Asset Life
2
Reducing wear and tear by ensuring maintenance is performed only when necessary.
Optimising Maintenance Schedules
3
Using real-time asset health data to plan servicing more efficiently and cost-effectively.
Preventing unnecessary maintenance interventions, leading to lower labour and material costs.
4
Reducing Maintenance Costs
Improving Sustainability and Energy Efficiency
5
Ensuring assets run at peak efficiency, reducing energy waste and environmental impact.
MCP Approach to
Predictive Maintenance in FM
Assessment of Existing Maintenance Strategies
We work with organisations to evaluate current maintenance frameworks and identify areas where predictive maintenance can add value.
Deployment of IoT and Sensor Technology
MCP assists businesses in selecting, installing, and configuring IoT-enabled sensors to monitor key asset parameters such as vibration, temperature, and pressure.
Integration with CMMS and CAFM Systems
We support seamless integration of predictive maintenance data into Computerised Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) and Computer-Aided Facilities Management (CAFM) platforms.
AI-Driven Predictive Analytics and Failure Modelling
Our consultants can help implement machine learning algorithms and predictive analytics models to forecast asset failures and schedule interventions only when required.
Continuous Performance Monitoring and Optimisation
We establish Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to track PdM effectiveness, ensuring ongoing improvements and long-term success.

FAQs
-
Predictive Maintenance (PdM) is condition-based, using real-time asset data to predict failures, whereas Preventive Maintenance (PM) follows fixed service schedules regardless of asset condition.
-
PdM is ideal for critical building systems such as HVAC, elevators, electrical infrastructure, and industrial equipment.
-
IoT sensors continuously collect real-time asset health data, enabling accurate condition monitoring and failure prediction.
-
Yes, PdM eliminates unnecessary maintenance activities, reduces downtime, and extends asset life, leading to significant cost savings.
-
By ensuring assets operate at optimal efficiency, PdM reduces energy waste, carbon emissions, and overall environmental impact.
