Summary
The digital transformation presents both opportunities and challenges. As continuous monitoring becomes more ubiquitous, we are collecting exponentially greater amounts of data than ever before. At the same time, our industries are losing experience and facing reductions in manpower. It’s natural to think that digital technologies could fill that gap, but many are realizing that without a thoughtful implementation strategy more data doesn’t always translate into greater reliability. During this webchat, we’ll explore how to successfully implement condition monitoring technology to harness the power of data and drive effective decision making.
Discussion Points:
- What are the first steps for a successful digital implementation strategy?
- Quality vs quantity: How do we ensure that the data collected is meaningful and useful?
- What resources are needed to analyze and act on information?
- AI's role and the role of human experience
- How do you establish alerts and alarms (alarm management)
- I've got a problem, it's (insert failure mode), what should I do?
