What it is

Sensor data plus historical maintenance logs feed an ML model that predicts time-to-failure for critical equipment. Maintenance switches from reactive to scheduled, cutting downtime and emergency callouts.

Data you need

IoT sensor streams (temperature, vibration, pressure) and 12+ months of maintenance logs.

Required systems

  • erp
  • data warehouse

Why it works

  • Pilot on one critical asset class first
  • Pair every alert with an inspection checklist

How this goes wrong

  • Sensor data quality issues that no one investigates
  • Maintenance team treats the model as a black box

When NOT to do this

Skip if you don't have IoT sensors or a budget for them — this is a multi-year programme.
