Use Case: IoT-Enabled Predictive Maintenance
- Challenge: A manufacturing plant experiences frequent equipment breakdowns and unplanned downtime, impacting production schedules and operational efficiency.
- Solution: Deploy IoT sensors on critical machinery to collect real-time performance data, such as temperature, vibration, and usage patterns. Implement predictive analytics algorithms to forecast equipment failures before they occur.
- Benefits: Predictive maintenance reduces downtime by 30% and lowers maintenance costs by 15%. Improved equipment reliability leads to enhanced production output and smoother operations, resulting in higher overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
