How to Transform Data into Insights

Pieter Van Camp | Customer Care Officer, I-Care Group

The transition to predictive maintenance becomes difficult if you are not able to generate and collect the right data. You need to be able to not only collect data, but to also analyze and visualize the data in a dashboard, so you can act on it right away.

In the world of predictive maintenance, IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things), AI (Augmented Intelligence) and Machine Learning hold the key to accessing real time results and big data. To become a more data-driven organization, you need to enable virtual tracking of capital assets, processes, resources and products. The result will be a significant reduction of maintenance costs. On top, with the right maintenance strategy, you can reduce downtime by up to 30%.

From Data to Insights

Interpreting data can be done with several goals in mind:

  1. Maintenance updates

Predictive maintenance gives you insights to when a particular asset needs maintenance. It ensures machines are taken for maintenance before they fail, resulting in a minimal loss of production. By using maintenance software, your entire organization can also see which assets are being prepared at any specific time.

  1. Long term insights

Another big advantage of using a wireless monitoring solution is that real time data, IoT sensors and historical data can be deployed. Thanks to an automated and smart solution, the switch to proactive working will be an easy one. Long-term data gives you in-depth information about the health of your assets and typical (technical) problems that often occur. All this information, gathered over a long period of time, can be used to optimize your machinery for the future.
