Predictive maintenance is used broadly across many areas of our lives. Our cars now contain an ever growing collection of sensors, which are connected to a central computer, where algorithms check parameters such as your engine temperature, exhaust emissions and oil level. If any of these metrics are irregular, that irritating engine warning light will pop up on your dashboard. While it may be an unwelcome site, the truth is that if that engine warning light didn't turn on, you could be doing catastrophic damage to your vehicle, without ever knowing until it is too late and the problem becomes far more expensive to remedy. The same predictive maintenance systems can be found in more and more consumer products every day, from your mobile phone, to your oven.
So if predictive maintenance is so heavily used throughout our home lives, then why should it be any different for a workplace? The truth is that the systems required to provide predictive maintenance are often prohibitively expensive, requiring a huge investment in infrastructure and technical workforce. Many companies simply can't afford these systems.
At Orly we believe there is no reason that advanced predictive maintenance shouldn't be limited to large multinational corporations. Our monitoring system, My Remote Monitor, is designed to bring advanced predictive maintenance algorithms to SME's so that they too can benefit from the ability to fix minor problem and issues with equipment, before they come expensive and potentially unrepairable problems.
