3:40 PM Think Tank H: Smarter Maintenance, Stronger Assets, Rethinking Predictive Strategies for Industrial Performance

Reducing downtime, extending asset life, and optimizing resources are not optional, they’re strategic imperatives. Predictive maintenance is evolving fast, powered by real-time data, AI, and digital twins. Join this think tank to co-create strategies for transforming maintenance from reactive firefighting into proactive performance optimization.

Discussion themes include:

    • Shifting from reactive to proactive maintenance with real-time asset health monitoring and AI-driven early warnings
    • Breaking down data silos by unifying OT, IT, and engineering data for a single source of truth
    • Extending asset life and reducing downtime through predictive models that forecast failures and recommend interventions
    • Overcoming legacy system limitations with scalable, modular architectures for modern and aging equipment
    • Empowering cross-functional teams with actionable insights via dashboards, alerts, and digital twin simulations
