			<Paragraph>The measurement together with details such as the upper limits, lower limits and norm values help you plan the preventive maintenance of the item. When the behavior of the item is not in tune to the expected values, ERP gives a warning, thereby enabling you to take corrective action before the failure or breakdown of the item.</Paragraph>
