How can predictive maintenance deliver near-zero equipment downtime? In this episode, host Bruce and IoT expert Alex explain why reactive "fix-after-failure" approaches create costly unplanned outages, safety risks, and lost production—and how condition-based predictive strategies using IoT sensors outperform schedule-driven preventive maintenance. Learn how real-time monitoring of vibration, temperature, and energy usage, combined with AI/machine learning, provides early warnings for planned interventions that eliminate surprises. Discover practical steps to start small on critical assets, integrate Kaizen/Six Sigma for ROI, and shift maintenance from cost center to strategic value driver for optimized operations and reliability.
