Who needs Enterprise Asset Management (EAM)?
Why EAM Software is key in 2018
Data from machine-connected sensors are automatically collected and analyzed. Using machine learning and predictive analytics, it is possible to automatically predict when an asset’s condition becomes critical and automatically create condition-based work orders before the asset becomes deficient and downtimes occur. The EAM software can provide information about which tools or replacement parts are required while scheduling a free maintenance technician to carry out the replacement.
Through software access on various devices – such as maintenance workstations, tablets, and smartphones – the maintenance planner can track and monitor their work order as it is being carried out. An EAM software that can be used on any device from anywhere is an important part of the digitalization process and is essential for providing oversight and transparency of the assets life cycle and the connected maintenance operations.
