Reliability Insider Series: Demystifying Predictive Maintenance in the Cloud

Predictive maintenance solutions can save companies hundreds of millions of dollars in early warning catches, reduced downtime, and averted maintenance and repairs and yet, the commitment to implement predictive maintenance solutions seems daunting to many organizations. They worry about the time and disruption to implement a solution, high infrastructure costs, overly complicated data and analytics, and the skills and training needed for workers to use and manage these solutions. Worse yet, many business leaders feel pressured to rapidly implement digital solutions that they don’t fully understand. To adjust to, and survive, dynamically evolving workforce requirements and market trends, a proven solution is required.
