Maintenance Strategy
Laser scanning optimizes costs, helps with standards
Stakeholders who use laser scanning can increase project efficiency and speed with lower initial costs.
Predictive maintenance value: Smart sensors, machine learning, new industrial business models
Smart sensors and machine learning algorithms detect anomalies in industrial machines, and as algorithms become better trained, software can accurately predict when machines with industrial automation is at risk of failure. New business models for machine as a service (MaaS) may help overcome slow adoption of predictive maintenance technologies.
Improving machine performance and reliability with predictive maintenance
With more advanced predictive maintenance tools at their disposal, today’s maintenance and operations teams can improve efficiencies and minimize unplanned downtime.
