CWM Summit Day One - October 14, 2026

11:25 AM Case Study: Protecting Your High Value Machines: Building Predictive Intelligence into Your Maintenance Programs

When your operations depend on high-value equipment, traditional preventive maintenance programs don't suffice. The most resilient manufacturers are moving beyond traditional PMs to build predictive intelligence into their maintenance programs—so problems are detected earlier, work is prioritized correctly, and uptime becomes a competitive advantage.

In this session, you'll learn how successful teams design, launch, and scale predictive maintenance (PdM) programs that deliver measurable results on the plant floor. We'll break down the most common reasons PdM initiatives stall, where ROI typically shows up first, and how to translate machine-health signals into effective, prioritized actions for maintenance and reliability teams. You'll also see practical approaches to getting started quickly, proving value fast, and expanding successfully across multiple locations.
