Maintenance Key Performance Indicators: Tracking KPIs

Tracking KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) is crucial for maintenance operations. With vast data at our disposal, we’re able to calculate the performance of our maintenance teams to narrow down all stats from Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), Mean Time to Repair (MTTR), Mean Time to Failure (c), and others. It is always challenging to have all the data at your fingertips.

Where AI, Industry 4.0, and IIoT Meet Maintenance Data Integrity

In the evolving landscape of industrial maintenance, one truth remains constant: the quality of maintenance decisions can never exceed the quality of the data upon which they are based.  As we stand at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence, Industry 4.0, and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), this fundamental principle becomes even more critical. While these technologies promise transformative capabilities in predictive maintenance and asset optimization, they amplify rather than eliminate the importance of data integrity.
