Manufacturers face significant financial losses due to equipment failures, costing major companies up to $1.4 trillion annually. To tackle this, firms like IBM and Amazon utilize predictive maintenance, which employs sensors and software to forecast machinery issues before they lead to breakdowns. The demand for predictive maintenance is expected to surge as AI technologies evolve, enhancing accuracy and efficiency. Startups such as Aquant are leading the charge by using AI to minimize false alarms and streamline maintenance processes, promising better investment returns for manufacturers.
Equipment failures have long haunted manufacturers - and they come at a staggering price. A 2024 Siemens report estimated that unplanned downtime costs the world's 500 biggest companies up to $1.4 trillion a year combined.
AI and robots are enhancing predictive maintenance. Manufacturers' older systems that are designed to identify potential machinery breakdowns often overwhelm maintenance teams with false alarms, triggering unnecessary part replacements and wasted labor.
