The UPTIME 1st live webinar highlighted the differences between classic preventive maintenance and predictive maintenance using historical data and real time data as well as illustrated benefits of predictive maintenance by a concrete implementation in the White Goods Industry.
The UPTIME white goods business case deals with Whirlpool’s complex automatic production line, which produces drums for clothes dryers. The business case aims to anticipate planned intervention on machines, to reduce unexpected breakdowns and delay other interventions, thus save money and improve safety. Moreover, three main important lessons learned as well as best practices for manufacturing companies to get started with predictive maintenance were presented.
The webinar is free of charge, dedicated to people who want to learn and see a concrete implementation of the UPTIME Predictive Maintenance Platform in a real business case. It is interactive, where you have the opportunity to ask questions to the experts panel and we are happy to receive your feedback.
