Can IoT Predictive Maintenance Transform The B2C Field?
By Andrew Mort, TechSee
Imagine if a technician somehow knew that one of your home devices was going to fail soon, and showed up with the correct tools and parts to fix it at just the right moment. How much time, money, and effort would that save? While it may sound like a fantasy, AI predictive maintenance technology is paving the way for that exact scenario. Read on to discover how it all works, with examples of companies already using IoT predictive maintenance.
The Case for Predictive Maintenance
A study by The Wall Street Journal and Emerson concluded that unplanned downtime – 42% of which is a result of equipment failure – costs manufacturers an estimated $50 billion per year. The costs associated with downtime continue even after production has resumed.
