Webinar Predictive Maintenance: make data work for you!
How often is your production line down unexpectedly? And if you need to replace something, are you sure the necessary parts are still available? A good maintenance strategy is necessary to avoid the high costs of unplanned downtime. But, what is good?
You don't want to be too late, but preferably not too early either. If you know what is going to happen, you can intervene at the right time. That is why it is good to move from reactive or preventive maintenance to proactive or predictive maintenance: predictive maintenance.
Curious about which steps you can take in this regard? Watch the recording of the webinar on predictive maintenance (PdM) given on 9 May.
In the manufacturing industry, much of the unplanned downtime of machinery is caused by, for instance, wear, jammed parts, accumulated dirt or corrosion. Sensors can record this. Using this data, (self-learning) algorithms can detect potential problems before they occur. 95% of companies doing maintenance this way saw improvement in key value drivers. 60% saw their uptime improve by 9% on average.
PdM scores high where uptime and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) are concerned. Do you want that too? Then the question is: where to start? Our webinar is a good start.
The speaker is Dirk Rösler, data specialist at Bredius DataLab, which helps leading companies extract value from data. He will discuss developments over the past 10 years, outline where PdM is heading and how to get started. Questions to be addressed include: what will you measure? How do you process and analyse the data? Who will develop the PdM tailored to my business? What are the key techniques? And, last but not least, how do I know that PdM will be rewarding?
It was an informative and entertaining webinar. Watch it back now and get that start!

Sekisui AlveoRead moreFoam producer Sekisui Alveo has a large factory in Roermond. To support production and maintenance, warehouses and distribution points with thousands of different items are spread across the various halls. Think spare parts, personal protection equipment and consumables. The company cooperates intensively with itsme for management, such as recently with the step-by-step introduction of vendor managed inventory (VMI) for the grab stock of mechanical items.

IECRead moreTo control the expansion of a silo park, engineering & construction company IEC called on Breemes. Being involved in the engineering from the beginning, the electrical service provider was able to make smart proposals for both the low-voltage part and the PLC control. ‘We have always been able to find each other well and when changes occurred, we were quickly on the same page with Breemes.’

Heliox - Charged for DeliveryRead moreHeliox, a developer and manufacturer of charging systems for electric buses and trucks, was already working with itsme when production still took place in the Netherlands. Today, production has shifted to Slovakia, Portugal, and Moldova, and is also happening in the US. itsme remains the “irreplaceable” partner for the supply of electrical components and cable harnesses.

BLOK System SupplyRead moreBlok System Supply and itsme have maintained an intensive relationship for many years. Early last year, this was further deepened with electronic data exchange via the Smart Connected Supplier Network. ‘It saves an enormous amount of time and reduces errors. We always have real-time information automatically.’ However, time for personal contact is not saved. ‘That is precisely what makes itsme a very nice party to work with.’
