There is plenty of talk about how connected systems, aggregated data, and empowered teams are the future of maintenance, but how does one get there? What are the steps to get to that Maintenance 4.0 reality? 

Delving into the history and evolution of predictive and Connected Reliability technologies helps teams better understand the preparation needed for their “road to reliability.” In order to ensure a successful transition to Connected Reliability, organizations must properly prepare. People on the front lines should have a firm grasp of current processes and understand how to base actions from data currently being collected. That way, they can properly leverage predictive technologies to gain actionable insights once everything is in place. When it comes time to take the first step on the road to Connected Reliability, pilot programs and other critical steps not only make the case for further implementation or expansion but showcase the gravity of maintenance as a business value add. 

Case studies in our presentation illustrate the power of successful connected reliability implementation, as well as some unique blocker solutions and use cases. Even the smallest changes can make positive impacts, and each change builds upon the previous. Before you know it, you’ll realize your journey to Connected Reliability is further along than you imagined it could be.
