Integrating IIoT in to your asset maintenance
Whether you like it or not, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is changing the way we view asset maintenance. In our recent blog The Changing Face of Asset Maintenance we looked at the advantages of incorporating IIoT into asset maintenance.
Predictive maintenance 4.0
Predictive Maintenance 4.0 is a term that is now becoming widely used when looking at asset maintenance but how and where do you start? Perhaps you have already made a start but have found that equipment, software and systems just aren’t integrated enough to give a true understanding of your assets overall health and longevity.
Integrating IIoT into asset intensive industries brings a connected ecosystem with advanced technology solutions to monitor your assets, provide predictive analytics and even act upon the findings.
The keyword is efficiency
The efficiency of assets can be about production capacity through the performance of equipment. However, the word efficiency crops up a lot when we consider predictive maintenance as a whole, such as:
energy efficiency
communication efficiency
planning efficient
maintenance efficiency
The hurdles
There are a number of challenges to face when looking to implement an advanced asset maintenance system. A lack of standards and different solutions and equipment means more work to implement.
Changing from a preventative maintenance regime to a predictive one means a change in mindset as well as skill set.
Historically data, insights and analytics have been limited in scope but this is where IIoT bridges the gap. The digital transformation hasn’t just enabled the connectivity of assets but it is now able to define which data and insights from which assets need to be tracked, combined, analysed, monitored and leveraged in order to use these analytics in the most efficient way.
Smart asset maintenance
Working with market leaders in their given industries we have brought a seamless technology solution to our clients, no matter where they are on the whole Industry 4.0 journey. We provide efficient, innovative technology solutions which will revolutionise your asset maintenance.
We understand that it is all about the numbers. Let us do the maths together, assess your ROI, and evaluate the costs which will far out weigh the efficiencies you will gain by taking a holistic asset management approach and leveraging IIoT for your predictive maintenance.
