What Can Digital Condition Monitoring Practices Help to Achieve?

Cost of unexpected downtime due to failure of critical equipment can be very high. Typical repair and reliability costs (including downtime) amounts to 6% of initial costs. Combining condition monitoring technologies with real-time connections helps make operations more efficient, production more predictable and the environment safer. This paper discusses through practical case studies what else can be achieved through digitalization of predictive maintenance that helps in reducing total cost of ownership:<br/>• Are correct maintenance decisions taken?<br/>• Is there scope for saving energy and reducing carbon footprint?<br/>• Are the machines operating efficiently and reliably as they should be?
