Asset availability
Predict downtime and increase asset availability.
Predictive maintenance in process industry evaluates sensor, fault and maintenance data to detect critical equipment failures early, so maintenance is planned on actual need.
- Higher availability
- Cost reduction
- More safety
unplanned downtime
maintenance costs
payback
early-warning lead time
Calculated from historical downtime costs and expected reduction in unplanned failures.
- 01
