We’re currently in the midst of Industry 4.0, or the fourth industrial revolution. This era is defined by growing automation and data exchange in industrial technologies. Some of the tools that are now at our disposal include:
In a previous post, we outlined the basics of equipment criticality: what it is and why it’s important for prioritising inspections and maintenance work.
Hey there!
Understanding your equipment criticality can go a long way towards increasing efficiencies and hitting key targets.
An extra percentage of uptime and productivity can have a huge impact on your business.
Asset fitness and asset performance management are crucial to staying efficient and profitable.
