Overview
Manufacturers operating high-value production equipment often faces challenges with unplanned downtime, reactive maintenance, and limited visibility into machine health. In this engagement, we partnered with a manufacturing organization to modernize its maintenance practices by applying IoT-based data collection, cloud architecture, AI-driven analytics, and condition-based maintenance approaches. Through a consulting-led engagement focused on assessment, design, and integration with existing production and ERP systems, we helped the client transition to a more predictive maintenance model that improved equipment reliability, reduced costs, and increased production predictability.
Challenges
-
✔
Frequent Unplanned Downtime: Unexpected machine failures disrupted production schedules and caused revenue losses.
-
✔
Reactive Maintenance Approach: Maintenance was performed after breakdowns, leading to higher repair costs and equipment stress.
-
✔
Lack of Real-Time Machine Visibility: No centralized system to monitor machine health or performance metrics in real time.
-
✔
High Maintenance Costs: Excessive spare part consumption and emergency labor inflated operational expenses.
-
✔
Production Uncertainty: Inconsistent machine availability made delivery commitments unreliable.
