Predictive Maintenance and Equipment Downtime for Own Operations
Definition
Integrators operate complex manufacturing equipment (CNC, robotic systems, test stations) critical to production. Unexpected downtime halts projects and delays deliveries. Without sophisticated predictive maintenance, breakdowns are reactive, causing 1-3 day recovery + customer penalties. Maintenance costs spike when emergency repairs are needed vs. planned preventive maintenance. Many integrators lack: (1) real-time equipment monitoring/diagnostics, (2) predictive analytics to warn of impending failures, (3) spare parts inventory planning, (4) maintenance scheduling optimization. Result: 5-15% of available production time lost to unplanned downtime/maintenance. For a shop with 2000 hours annual machine capacity, this represents 100-300 lost hours = $50K-$150K annual lost capacity. Additionally, warranty on sold machinery often includes service/maintenance—without predictive capability, support costs spike.
