Webinar Predictive Maintenance: make data work for you!
How often is your production line down unexpectedly? And if you need to replace something, are you sure the necessary parts are still available? A good maintenance strategy is necessary to avoid the high costs of unplanned downtime. But, what is good?
You don't want to be too late, but preferably not too early either. If you know what is going to happen, you can intervene at the right time. That is why it is good to move from reactive or preventive maintenance to proactive or predictive maintenance: predictive maintenance.
Curious about which steps you can take in this regard? Watch the recording of the webinar on predictive maintenance (PdM) given on 9 May.
In the manufacturing industry, much of the unplanned downtime of machinery is caused by, for instance, wear, jammed parts, accumulated dirt or corrosion. Sensors can record this. Using this data, (self-learning) algorithms can detect potential problems before they occur. 95% of companies doing maintenance this way saw improvement in key value drivers. 60% saw their uptime improve by 9% on average.
PdM scores high where uptime and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) are concerned. Do you want that too? Then the question is: where to start? Our webinar is a good start.
The speaker is Dirk Rösler, data specialist at Bredius DataLab, which helps leading companies extract value from data. He will discuss developments over the past 10 years, outline where PdM is heading and how to get started. Questions to be addressed include: what will you measure? How do you process and analyse the data? Who will develop the PdM tailored to my business? What are the key techniques? And, last but not least, how do I know that PdM will be rewarding?
It was an informative and entertaining webinar. Watch it back now and get that start!
