Using data generated by your equipment puts money in your pocket by helping you keep your equipment in top shape and avoid unplanned downtime. Lower life cycle costs can make you more competitive and increase your edge, even during the most challenging market conditions. Here are six ways to make the most of your data to help manage your assets and reduce operating costs.
1. Preventive Maintenance
Take advantage of electronic data, alerts, and records to schedule and complete all recommended maintenance and service.
2. Maintain Peak Unit Performance
Use alerts to prevent problems that may reduce fuel efficiency. Using your investment properly by running at peak performance can positively impact your bottom line.
3. Offsite Support
Diagnostic information sent to offsite experts can help eliminate the need for unnecessary onsite visits by technical staff throughout the lifecycle of your system, reducing labor costs.
4. Repair Before Failure
Use equipment data and electronic alerts to catch small problems early. Schedule repairs quickly to avoid breakdowns and keep repair costs low. Unscheduled downtime can have a huge impact on your profitability and sustainability.
5. Monitor Operator Training
Operating practices dramatically impact performance and component wear. Remotely monitor your day-to-day usage to spot training opportunities.
6. Record-keeping
Automatically gather data on equipment history, component life, and operating costs. Good records help you identify high-cost or problem areas and control expenses.
