Description of the DVC THEME
Industry 4.0 and technological advances have revolutionized the way industrial processes and machinery are analyzed and optimized, by prefiguring a new age of innovation. Wireless interconnectivity of machinery and devices has allowed for more efficient collection and monitoring of data. Modern industrial processes can be analyzed and adapted more than ever. Companies have greater insight into the operation of plant and machinery, allowing them to make better-informed decisions and to reach tough industrial KPIs.
By combining advanced sensor capability, IoT technology, and data analytics algorithms, maintenance in the era of Industry 4.0 has experienced a rapid shift from reactive to proactive: instead of performing maintenance only when failure has already occurred, the state-of-the-art strategy is to actively anticipate system degradation and schedule maintenance just-in-time. Large and midsize process organizations with sophisticated equipment in asset-intensive industries tend to consider and use all types of proactive maintenance strategies (like preventive, predictive or prescriptive maintenance). Smaller organizations often focus on trying to improve their preventive maintenance performance. Being more preventive, predictive or prescriptive depends on being able to have an analytic strategy and data.
All areas of industry will benefit from the increased use of data in terms of increased efficiency and productivity, optimization and automation.
