Networked machine connectivity provides a level and volume of “Big Data” we never dreamed possible and it’s creating a shift towards predictive maintenance. Compared with routine or time-based preventive maintenance, predictive maintenance is more efficient. It minimizes disruption, reduces operating costs, improves product reliability and maximizes customer satisfaction. So, why then, are so many manufacturers still not exploiting it?
The problem is that, to harness the power of Big Data and get the fast “time to insight” predictive maintenance demands, you need the right technology. And not every manufacturer has that. Some think it’s out of their price range, others believe they’re not “big enough” for it, and some just presume they’ve not got the right skills to use it. Of course, they’re all wrong.
With SAP HANA in-memory computing and solutions for Big Data from SAP, any business, of any size, can access fast insight and run on predictive maintenance. The real-time data processing capabilities embedded in SAP HANA will help you speed up time-to-insight and insight-to-action cycles. So, not only can you detect potential maintenance issues earlier, you can also resolve them faster. That’s not all though.
Big Data provides incredibly rich insight that many businesses are still leaving untapped. For example, by looking at third-party data, you can determine the optimal maintenance strategy for a specific product or customer. Say a product is affected by temperature or moisture, your maintenance planning cycle can then incorporate weather reports. You can even tap into online customer reviews to better understand quality issues and timing. Or, what about defects? With data analysis, you can identify them and schedule in repairs before your end users even spot them.
You can do all of this, and so much more, at the speed of business. You’ll have all the relevant information together and ‘talking’ at the same time. So, there’s no need to live in the past and run operations on limited historical information and incomplete conclusions. You can operate more holistically, run more efficiently and make informed, connected predictions to drive your business forward.
