Rethinking Predictive Maintenance: Why the Hardest 10% of Industrial Assets Demand a New Class of Sensors

Predictive maintenance has proven its value across most industrial asset classes, but a stubborn 10% of equipment remains nearly impossible to monitor with conventional sensor technology. These are the assets in extreme temperatures, corrosive environments, confined spaces, or constantly vibrating structures where standard accelerometers and temperature probes simply cannot survive or deliver reliable readings. In […]

Why Most IoT Data Is Useless—And What Manufacturers Can Do About It

Without high-quality asset master data, manufacturers risk wasting 90% of their IoT insights. Here’s how to change that.Manufacturers are racing to implement AI, digital twins, and predictive analytics—but most are leaving value on the table. According to IBM, 90% of industrial data collected goes unused. That’s not a tech failure. It’s a data foundation failure.During […]
