Technical maintenance refers to the routine upkeep, repair, and servicing of equipment, machinery, or systems to ensure they function efficiently and reliably. This can include tasks such as inspecting, troubleshooting, repairing, and replacing parts in mechanical, electrical, or digital systems. The goal of technical maintenance is to prevent breakdowns, minimize downtime, and extend the lifespan of equipment.
