Preventive maintenance is critical for several reasons:
1. Ensuring Reliability: Nanoscale devices, such as nanosensors and nanoelectronics, require consistent performance. Regular maintenance helps identify potential issues before they become significant problems. 2. Extending Lifespan: Like any technology, nanodevices have a finite lifespan. Preventive maintenance can extend this lifespan by mitigating wear and tear. 3. Safety: Particularly in medical applications, such as nanomedicine, ensuring that nanodevices function correctly is paramount to patient safety. 4. Economic Efficiency: Addressing issues before they lead to failure reduces downtime and repair costs, making the technology more cost-effective in the long run.
