What's the difference between reactive and predictive maintenance for construction equipment?

Reactive maintenance responds to a breakdown after it happens, while predictive maintenance uses telematics data trends, fault codes, pressure readings, temperature anomalies, to schedule service before a failure occurs. Predictive maintenance is significantly cheaper in practice because it avoids the downtime cost of an unplanned failure during a critical project activity. Sparkline Group's fleet management approach is built around predictive scheduling using telematics feeds across its rental inventory. This is one reason renting well-maintained, monitored equipment often works out more reliable than running an older owned fleet without this monitoring.
