ELEVATE MACHINE HEALTH IN 2020

The manufacturing industry is extremely as-set-driven. With increased customer demands in an ever-growing competitive landscape, manufacturers can no longer let the threat of a machine breakdown affect their production. To achieve Industry 4.0 and to prepare for a future where smart machines accelerate overall business success, manufacturers are increasingly focusing on predictive maintenance, remote monitoring and asset management issues.

Shortcoming and opportunities can come into sharp focus, along with commitments to improve and the funding to make it happen. For plant maintenance teams, a high volume of emergency service requests is frequently a top issue. Jumping from one urgent work order to the next is highly inefficient and disruptive. Fortunately, technology can help manufacturers turn over a new leaf and strive for a more proactive approach to maintenance. Predictive maintenance is becoming an integral focus in manufacturing industries to obtain operational efficiencies of equipment. Since the consequences of machine failures are too high, this ability to identify patterns and forecast potential equipment failure allows manufacturers to optimize equipment lifetime and minimise unplanned downtime.
