Reduce Cost, Improve Quality, and Enhance Productivity with Smart Maintenance

#FocusOnBestMaintenancePractices
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly accelerated the need for remote monitoring and diagnostics of operations and assets. As the supply chain is impacted from all directions, maintenance can be the steady, reliable part of the puzzle that helps get things back on track.
Across any supply chain, hundreds of critical functions keep things moving. The sales team works with customers. The accounting team tracks finances, customer support maintains relationships, plus logistics, shipping, scheduling, human resources, and many more contribute to overall operations. In this big picture of a typical supply chain, the value of maintenance for buildings, plants, machinery, and vehicles is often overlooked. But maintenance alone has the power to bring the supply chain to a halt in minutes.

Benefits of Smart Maintenance for Stronger Supply chain

  • Maximize longevity for buildings, plants, machines, and vehicles.
  • Improve throughput, quality, and uptime.
  • Reduce costly machine failures and unplanned shutdowns.
  • Improve working conditions, especially regarding safety.

Modules of smart maintenance model

  • Reactive Maintenance: Reactive maintenance works well for tools and items that are part of the supply chain but aren’t likely to cause disruption if they go offline. Every plant or manufacturing facility has items like these that fall outside the rigors of a more advanced maintenance program.
  • Preventive Maintenance: As the foundation that other maintenance approaches build on, preventive maintenance means fixing and maintaining before failure can happen.
  • Remote condition-based monitoring: This approach refines preventive maintenance by implementing wireless sensors that relay data to a maintenance manager. Now instead of performing preventive inspections on a monthly schedule, for example, maintenance can be performed whenever the data says it’s necessary.
  • Predictive Maintenance: Accurate predictions rely on quality data. Predictive maintenance brings together data and technology to accurately inform the maintenance schedule.
  • Cognitive Maintenance: As the most technologically advanced approach to maintenance, cognitive maintenance helps ensure that equipment is in good working order. But it also helps optimize your workforce, production, sales, and customer satisfaction by eliminating downtime and increasing throughput.

Transform your maintenance workloads from reactive to cognitive to become a factory of the future.
