Prevent Costly Equipment Failures
Prevent equipment failures, reduce downtime, and optimize resource use. AI-driven predictive maintenance protects worker safety, boosts efficiency, and addresses skill gaps, creating a more efficient and competitive manufacturing environment.
The Problem
Many manufacturers struggle with outdated maintenance models, resulting in equipment failures that threaten worker safety and cause costly downtime. The average facility experiences 27 hours of unplanned downtime monthly, costing $25,000 per hour, with large facilities exceeding $500,000 per hour.
These challenges are compounded by a critical skills gap, with half of maintenance professionals expected to retire in the next decade, and 1.9 million manufacturing jobs projected to remain unfilled by 2033. Without effective solutions, manufacturers face escalating costs, operational disruptions, and declining competitiveness.
The AI Opportunity
AI-powered predictive maintenance allows manufacturers to estimate equipment maintenance and repair needs while identifying potential failures using real-time data. By addressing issues before they escalate, manufacturers can avoid costly disruptions, improve worker safety, streamline resource allocation, and enable data-driven decisions for more reliable production.
Why It Matters
Unplanned downtime disrupts production, threatens worker safety, and drains resources. Predictive maintenance provides manufacturers with proactive tools to address these challenges, minimizing disruptions, enhancing worker safety and satisfaction, and supporting more efficient and sustainable operations. Addressing these challenges is critical to ensuring manufacturers can remain competitive, productive, and ready for future demands.
Benefits & Impact
Safe, Empowered Workforce
Using AI tools to make informed decisions, workers transition from reactive roles fixing to strategic positions, reducing the burden of identifying issues and repairing equipment. Early detection also minimizes safety risks.
Reliable, Efficient Production
Early identification and resolution of potential issues minimize costly disruptions and increase maintenance staff productivity, driving smoother operations and better resource utilization.
Improved Sustainability
More accurate predictions can extend equipment life by preventing premature failures and optimizing maintenance schedules, minimizing resource waste and supporting environmental goals.
