Case Studies: Transforming Equipment Reliability with Predictive Maintenance

The Challenge

A leading plant hire company faced increasing operational disruptions due to unexpected equipment failures. Reactive maintenance led to high repair costs, reduced asset availability, and inefficiencies in fleet management. While leadership recognized the need for a more proactive approach, employees lacked clarity on optimizing maintenance strategies.
