Condition-Based Predictive Maintenance uses real-time sensor data to monitor readings and triggers alerts when limits are exceeded. This describes which maintenance approach?

• A. Condition-Based Predictive Maintenance
• B. Predictive Maintenance
• C. Preventive Maintenance
• D. Reliability Centered Maintenance

Answer: (A)

Condition-based monitoring relies on measuring the actual state of equipment with sensors. By continuously watching key readings, maintenance is triggered when values exceed predefined limits, so actions are taken in response to current health rather than on a fixed date or usage interval. That matches the description of using real-time data and threshold alerts to decide when to intervene. Predictive maintenance forecasts remaining life and schedules work before a predicted failure, while preventive maintenance follows a calendar or usage-based schedule. So the described approach is best described as condition-based predictive maintenance.
