Maintenance 4.0 Implementation Handbook

As the industrial world moves towards Maintenance 4.0 - a core foundation of Industry 4.0 - many factories seem to be stuck in a neutral position and do not get beyond the pilot phase. Embracing innovation and discarding inherited knowledge poses a risk to an organisation's competitiveness. Although there are theoretical frameworks to address this risk, the gap between strategy and implementation cannot be bridged unless organisations can go through all phases of the journey.

The Maintenance 4.0 Implementation Handbook provides a step-by-step guide for the entire Maintenance 4.0 implementation team. It covers a range of topics, including how to prioritise implementation, the specific elements to include when forecasting return on investment and how to scale solutions across an organisation. The Handbook contains practical tools and exercises for both senior managers planning for Maintenance 4.0 and plant-level employees responsible for implementation.

Written by the co-founding team at Presenso, the Handbook includes best practices from the deployment of artificial intelligence-driven industrial analytics in some of the world's largest industrial facilities. It also provides insights from leading industry-recognised operations and maintenance experts. In this way, the implementation team can learn from their successes and failures, thus avoiding some of the inevitable implementation headaches. If implemented correctly, Maintenance 4.0 will reshape the industrial domain. In an age of disruptive innovation, it is discipline, conservative investment and old-fashioned implementation expertise that will separate the winners from the losers.
