Thinking Bigger: The Unexpected Business Impact of Predictive Maintenance

Perspective
Technology Stage

For Owens Corning predictive maintenance has delivered nearly $30 million in savings, but its impact has extended far beyond preventing equipment failures.  Greater visibility into asset condition has changed how the organisation approaches lubrication, precision maintenance, spare parts, technician time and safety. What began as a way to better understand machine health has uncovered broader improvement opportunities and helped leadership think more strategically about reliability. This session explores how PdM can create value well beyond maintenance and how better asset data can drive smarter decisions across the operation.

  • Looking beyond downtime as the measure of predictive maintenance value
  • Using condition data to improve spare parts planning
  • Turning failure insights into better lubrication practices
  • Improving technician time, safety and maintenance effectiveness
  • Expanding predictive maintenance into wider reliability initiatives
