A maintenance plan built only on fixed schedules treats a brand-new pump and a ten-year-old one identically — same interval, same checklist, regardless of actual condition. A camera-based health score changes the input: instead of planning around a calendar date, you plan around what the asset is actually showing right now, continuously, without waiting for the next scheduled inspection to find out. Sign in to OxMaint to bring camera-derived health scores into your maintenance planning calendar. Book a demo to see a declining health score automatically reshape next month's plan.
From Visual Signal to a Single Trackable Number
The score is derived continuously from camera-observed indicators — corrosion spread, thermal patterns, visible wear, vibration-linked signals — not from a single point-in-time inspection. Sign in to see live health scores across your asset fleet.
How a Score Trend Changes the Plan
What Feeds the Score
| Visual Indicator | What It Suggests | Effect on Score |
|---|---|---|
| Corrosion spread rate | Accelerating material degradation | Score declines proportionally to spread |
| Thermal signature drift | Developing electrical or mechanical fault | Sharp score drop if drift exceeds baseline |
| Surface wear pattern | Normal aging vs. abnormal stress | Gradual decline unless pattern is abnormal |
| Repeat defect recurrence | Underlying issue not resolved by past repairs | Score capped lower until root cause addressed |
Inputs and weighting are configurable per asset class. Sign in to adjust scoring weights for your equipment types.
A Practitioner's Perspective
Fixed maintenance intervals exist because nobody had a better way to know condition without physically inspecting it. A continuously updated health score is what condition-based maintenance has been promising for years, finally made practical because the camera is already watching the asset anyway. The planning benefit is real: you stop spending crew time on assets that are fine and start spending it on the ones that are actually trending toward failure.
