This case study explores how Heidelberg Materials partnered with AVT Reliability, and their Machine Sentry platform, to standardise and implement a unified reliability and condition monitoring programme across multiple plants.

The initiative centred on creating a single source of truth for asset health, aligning data structures with SAP, and embedding a sustainable change management approach.

By consolidating platforms, standardising practices, and engaging teams from production and maintenance, the programme delivered maximum visibility, CAPEX efficiency, and long-term sustainability.

Early challenges included structuring databases, ensuring ownership, and training teams from zero to competent, through strong leadership, clear guidance, and a voice-of-the-customer approach, the project achieved lasting impact.
