A Complete Maintenance Team Made of AI Agents — and Why It Changes Everything
How a coordinated team of AI agents tackles everyday pain points across planning, scheduling, reliability, and feedback AI in maintenance isn’t always about robots taking decisions or futuristic predictions. AI can also take on a very…
AI on the Shop Floor: Turning Predictive Maintenance into Real Results
For manufacturers, predictive maintenance powered by IIoT and AI is no longer just about advanced analytics in the cloud. The real breakthrough comes when frontline workers can act on those insights in real time. At the…
Predictive Maintenance with AI: Extending the Life of Industrial Machines
For manufacturers, downtime is costly. Studies show that 82% of industrial asset failures are random, making scheduled maintenance often ineffective. This is where AI-powered predictive maintenance, enabled by IIoT technologies, is changing the way factories care for machines—helping…
Rethinking Predictive Maintenance: Why the Hardest 10% of Industrial Assets Demand a New Class of Sensors
Most predictive maintenance sensors work well—until they don’t. When your pump is in an acid-laden environment, your mill bearings hit 120-150°C, or your crane gearbox runs at 4 RPM for half the shift, the majority of…
From Historical Data to Real-Time Action: Unlocking Industrial Intelligence
Learn how integrating a time series database with your historian helps industrial teams detect issues faster, act in real-time, and build predictive strategies that reduce downtime.Modern industrial systems continuously generate time-stamped data from sensors, PLCs, SCADA…
