# What needs maintenance, and when?

Maintain on condition, not the calendar. Every asset. Every window. Every trade-off.

3. Maintenance planning

## The plan was right when it was written.

Maintenance plans are built on fixed intervals. Then equipment wears at its own pace, outages move and spares arrive late. The plan stays the same.

### Fixed intervals.

Tasks fall due by the calendar, whether the equipment needs them or not.

### Condition ignored.

Inspection findings and sensor trends rarely feed back into when work is scheduled.

### Windows wasted.

Outages come and go without the work that could have been done in them.

## What the AI reads.

Condition, history, usage and the outage calendar, combined into a plan that moves when the equipment does.

### At work

1. [Sense](https://dscvryai.com/technology/sense/) Reads plans, inspection findings and sensor trends.
2. [Understand](https://dscvryai.com/technology/understand/) Builds each asset’s real condition record.
3. [Check](https://dscvryai.com/technology/check/) Checks each task against need, risk and history.
4. [Anticipate](https://dscvryai.com/technology/anticipate/) Forecasts wear and the right window to act.
5. [Operate](https://dscvryai.com/technology/operate/) Proposes a revised plan for the planner to approve.

### Out

One revised plan. Every move carries its reason.

## A plan that moves. With its reasons.

Every change says why: the condition behind it, the risk of waiting and the window it moves into.
