Introduction
Predictive maintenance has become essential for asset-intensive manufacturing organizations where equipment reliability directly impacts productivity and project timelines. Frequent breakdowns not only increase maintenance costs but also disrupt operations and delay critical outputs. Traditional reactive maintenance approaches fail to provide the visibility needed to prevent failures in advance. This case study highlights how an asset-intensive manufacturing organization leveraged IoT sensors and AI-based analytics to predict equipment failures and optimize maintenance planning. By shifting from reactive to predictive maintenance, the organization improved asset availability, reduced downtime, and enhanced overall operational efficiency.
