Introduction
Approach maintenance the right way
In industrial setting, the health of a machine impacts a lot of things. This is because even if a single part malfunctions the surrounding value chain gets disturbed. Preventive maintenance when combined with IoT solutions makes it easy to streamline the process and rapidly detect problems.
In the race to reduce the machine downtime, preventive maintenance has grown to be mission-critical capability that IoT platforms bring to the shopfloor.
Problem
Random machine failure is a normal event in a shopfloor set-up. What ensues is a spill over effect such as damage connected to other equipment, safety risks, unplanned downtime resulting in overtime and other costs.
- Unpredictable machine downtime
- Higher costs
- Quality issues
Solution
The IoT technology offers
With IoT platforms, preventive maintenance is responsive because the technology allows connectivity through sensors on the equipment. These sensors in-turn monitor the condition of machines and alert when necessary.
- Economical to inter-connect machines
- Real time machine data
- Varied functionalities
