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 “AI-enabled” standard sensors become expensive paperweights. That’s where COOs leading high-reliability plants are quietly shifting from standard predictive AI […]
