Reduce unplanned downtime with 24/7 predictive maintenance
Whether legacy or new, industrial equipment requires proper maintenance to maximize its lifespan. Aging equipment is one of the top causes of unplanned downtime, so manufacturers experiencing high maintenance costs can benefit from a new strategy. Traditional preventive maintenance methods take place at scheduled intervals and require skilled workers to complete time-consuming manual processes. Problems arising between inspection dates may go unnoticed, and companies may replace equipment prematurely.
Predictive maintenance, on the other hand, is a proactive strategy that involves evaluating your equipment’s condition through continuous monitoring. The goal is to use real-time data to identify component failures early, reduce unplanned downtime and avoid costly repairs.

Unplanned machine downtime is a huge headache for the business sector, as ongoing problems like aging infrastructure, skilled worker shortage, and recent societal disruptions drive up operational costs by reducing equipment availability.
Fortunately, advances in sensors, analytics, and communication technologies are making predictive maintenance increasingly practical and affordable for small, medium, and large manufacturing companies. This white paper examines four use cases that demonstrate the power of a predictive maintenance strategy.
Success story: Air handling unit system monitoring with the K6CM
Find out how a children’s hospital was able to stop its air handling units (AHUs) from failing unexpectedly (and harming the integrity of biomedical research materials) by employing Omron’s K6CM motor condition monitor. This solution provided real-time visibility into the AHU system’s condition and helped hospital staff ensure 100% uptime for an essential system.
