Disruptive technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning and data analytics are pushing maintenance into a digital future, as Mark Venables explains Significant time and cost benefits are available now to enhance smart maintenance regimes, using prevention rather than cure. The near future is even brighter, where the roll-out of Industry 4.0 technologies are enabling companies to connect and visualise machine data. Component life expectancy data can be combined with cloud-hosted application data. Bringing in the power of artificial intelligence and machine-to-machine learning will further dramatically change the possibility to predict and prevent failures and improve OEE.
