measures according to the needs of the different companies and their associated regulations. It will determine in an ethical way the maintenance costs and the incidence of this function of the total expenses of the company, in productivity and, consequently, in its productive competitiveness. Although generally the engineers in industrial maintenance work in the industry, specifically in companies metal mechanics, manufacturing and of processes, food, among others. Maintenance is one of the fundamental axes of any company, but especially in the industrial sector. Industrial maintenance engineers are professionals with a very solid knowledge of electromechanical engineering and administration of human and technological resources; they can also practice their profession in companies dedicated to mining, fishing and agriculture. They can even work in service providers, such as hotels and hospitals. They are proficient in the use of computer tools for solving technical electromechanical problems, as well as administrative problems. The professional may develop in any body that participates in the production process. Good preventive maintenance of machinery allows the production rhythm to be maintained, reduces accidents, increasing the safety of the equipment and, in the long run, reduces maintenance costs by avoiding failures and breakdowns. The Industrial Maintenance Engineer may serve as: Plant Manager, Maintenance Manager, Maintenance Engineer, Manufacturing Engineering Leader, Project Manager, and Department Head. The objective is to guarantee the production process, avoiding the loss of raw material and the stoppage of the activity. Industrial maintenance engineering is increasingly important due to the growing demand for equipment, systems, machinery and infrastructure. Since the industrial revolution, many devices, equipment, machinery and structures have become more complex, requiring more personnel and technological equipment to carry out maintenance tasks. Companies within process and chemical industries such as paper mills and refineries are using extremely expensive and fully automated production lines. The last forty years have shown a very important development of new technologies for performing maintenance and of the methodologies applicable to maintenance management. Industrial Maintenance Engineering has grown in all its branches, including instruments and techniques developed to support the credibility of the Maintenance programs implemented in the industry. There the concept of industrial maintenance was born as the constant monitoring of facilities and components, in addition to the repair and inspection of the functioning and good condition of a system. Industrial maintenance is one of the fundamental axes within the industry, since without it there would not be sufficient reliability of the quality of production, which has been subject to different changes over time. Today maintenance is seen as an investment that helps improve and maintain quality in

para lograr una mejor capacidad de mantenimiento, confiabilidad y disponibilidad de los equipos. Su formación le va a permitir analizar riesgos y definir medidas preventivas según las necesidades de las distintas empresas y su normativa asociada. Determinará de una manera ética los costos de mantenimiento y la incidencia de esta función de los gastos totales de la empresa, en la productividad y, en consecuencia, en su competitividad productiva. Aunque generalmente los ingenieros en mantenimiento industrial trabajan en la industria, específicamente en empresas metal mecánicas, manufactura y de procesos, alimenticias, entre otras. También pueden ejercer su profesión en empresas dedicadas a la minería, pesca y agricultura. El mantenimiento es uno de los ejes fundamentales de cualquier empresa, pero especialmente en el sector industrial. Los ingenieros de mantenimiento industrial son profesionales con un conocimiento muy sólido de la ingeniería electromecánica y la administración de recursos humanos y tecnológicos; también pueden ejercer su profesión en empresas dedicadas a la minería, la pesca y la agricultura. Incluso pueden trabajar en empresas prestadoras de servicios, por ejemplo, hoteles y hospitales. Son competentes en el uso de herramientas informáticas para resolver problemas técnicos electromecánicos, así como problemas administrativos. El profesional podrá desarrollarse en cualquier organismo que participe del proceso de producción. El ingeniero en Mantenimiento Industrial podrá desempeñarse como: Gerente de planta, gerencia de mantenimiento, ingeniero de mantenimiento, líder de ingeniería de manufactura, gerente de proyectos y jefe de departamento. La ingeniería en mantenimiento industrial es cada vez más importante debido a la creciente demanda de equipos, sistemas, maquinarias e infraestructura. Desde la revolución industrial muchos dispositivos, equipos, maquinaria y estructuras se han vuelto más complejos, por lo que se necesita más personal y equipos tecnológicos necesarios para llevar a cabo las tareas propias del mantenimiento. Las industrias química y de procesos, así como las fábricas de papel y las refinerías, utilizan líneas de producción extremadamente cara y totalmente automatizada. Los últimos cuarenta años han mostrado un desarrollo muy importante de las nuevas tecnologías para realizar mantenimiento y de las metodologías aplicables a la gestión del mantenimiento. La Ingeniería en Mantenimiento industrial ha crecido en todas sus ramas, incluyendo instrumentos y técnicas desarrolladas para sustentar la credibilidad de los programas de Mantenimiento implementados en la industria. De allí nace el concepto de mantenimiento industrial como el monitoreo constante de instalaciones y componentes, además de la reparación e inspección del funcionamiento y buen estado de un sistema.

El mantenimiento industrial es uno de los ejes fundamentales dentro de la industria ya que sin este no se tendría la suficiente confiabilidad de la calidad de producción, el mismo que ha estado sujeto a diferentes cambios al paso del tiempo. En la actualidad el mantenimiento se ve como una inversión que ayuda a mejorar y mantener la calidad en la producción. Muchas son las ventajas al aplicar el mantenimiento eficiente y correctamente, básicamente su principal función es garantizar la producción, y mantener los equipos operables aumentando la vida útil. El mantenimiento, día a día, está rompiendo las barreras del pasado, hasta dejar de verse como un gasto para convertirse en el mayor generador de utilidades industriales y el responsable de la sostenibilidad de la empresa. El concepto ha ido evolucionando desde la simple función de arreglar y reparar los equipos para asegurar la producción hasta la concepción actual de Mantenimiento con funciones de prevenir, corregir y revisar los equipos a fin de optimizar el coste global. Al mismo tiempo, aumenta la presión para proteger el medio ambiente ecológico del peligro de la contaminación y los desechos industriales nocivos. Todos estos cambios inmovilizan mucho capital invertido, lo que significa que la planta debe usarse de manera efectiva, e fi ciente y proporcionar productos de alta calidad además de mostrar preocupación por el medio ambiente y la seguridad. RESUME The one of fundamental axes of any company is the maintenance. The area of applications of engineering is based on mechanics, maintenance, production processes. Although in general lines, the objective of industrial maintenance is to keep it in operation in a stable way and reduce the number of incidents, accidents, and breakdowns.

Predictive Maintenance

It requires a timely industrial maintenance plan. It consists of constantly analyzing the equipment to determine if there is an alteration of the variables of the machinery. For its application, it is necessary to carry out measurements of the equipment such as temperature level, energy consumption, vibration among other aspects. By knowing the normal ranges, it is possible to detail with greater precision some type of alteration that causes problems and predict possible failures in the future. It is one of the types of advanced industrial maintenance as it requires the use and knowledge of various tools such as computer science, analysis of results, mathematics, chemistry and calculation.

Zero hour maintenance

It serves to extend and guarantee the useful life of the devices. It consists of applying a series of procedures that leave the machine “to zero” that is, as if it were new, eliminating or replacing all the elements that may have suffered some kind of wear and tear. It can be done when the equipment loses its performance or when it still works without any inconvenience.

Maintenance in use

It is the most basic and very low-intervention type of maintenance, usually performed by equipment operators or non-specialized personnel. It is done with simple prevention tasks, such as cleaning or reporting visible defects that must be taken care of by someone with more experience.

Objectives of industrial maintenance

Although in general lines, the objective of industrial maintenance is to keep it in operation in a stable way and reduce the number of incidents, accidents, and breakdowns, there are other objectives and benefits associated with the correct maintenance of the equipment. Here we list some of them:  Reduce incidents that may cause the unexpected stoppage of production equipment.  Maintain the production capacity of the machinery.  Increase work productivity.  Allow machinery to work without stopping, that is, with the highest efficiency and least wear, and thus prolong its useful life.  Ensure the operation of production equipment at a minimum cost.  Avoid workplace accidents by handling equipment.

Industrial maintenance, cost or investment?

The most innovative companies acquire equipment for the monitoring of machinery, which allows them to carry out predictive maintenance, making an initial investment with the aim of reducing future costs, either in the form of expensive repairs or production losses. In these cases, senior management makes an investment in the purchase of the equipment, which becomes part of the assets of the company. Undoubtedly, the application of strategies aimed at the implementation of preventive and predictive maintenance has a positive impact on operating times. In this sense, according to statistics, there is an acceptable range of disbursement for this concept, which is located at 25% and 35%. Outside these limits, uncontrolled expenses are considered due to the increase in failures due to the lack of maintenance in use until the predictive one. In this sense, it is important to determine what is the limit tha t a company can tolerate for it to consider that there is excessive spending that puts a risk on the company’s profit margins. If a correct maintenance policy is applied, the costs for this concept should be less and less For this, the company must include as a policy that if the equipment is new, it also requires attention to ensure its operation. When the financial managers observe that the application of the maintenance plans are transformed into savings, they do not hesitate to invest. Our recommendation from Proteval is that you have to plan and monitor the strategy that results in greater efficiency of the investment in maintenance and therefore in the benefit of the entire company. The value of predictive and preventive maintenance reduces the high costs of corrective maintenance or worse, the stoppage of production. You have to differentiate between an expense and a cost, the latter is reflected in a short or long-term investment. In this case, the department in charge of industrial maintenance must be clear about th e capital investment plan and the return on investment or ROI. The above is translated as follows: If the company is working with 40% efficiency and considers that it can increase 10 points to take it to 50% with a greater investment in maintenance, do it!
