The conversation explores the limitations of free proof-of-concept projects, the importance of good operational context and why maintenance teams need to be involved from the beginning.In this episode, you’ll learn:Why predictive maintenance evaluations should start with a business objective, not the technologyHow choosing the wrong assets can create a misleading impression of valueWhy machine data needs operational context to produce useful insightsHow maintenance-team involvement builds trust and supports adoptionWhy predicting failures should not be the only measure of successWhat needs to be in place before an evaluation can progress to wider deploymentListen to discover how manufacturers can move beyond simply testing predictive maintenance and build the foundations for a scalable programme.You can find out more about how Senseye Predictive Maintenance can reduce unplanned downtime and contribute towards improved sustainability within your manufacturing plants, by visiting: www.siemens.com/senseye-predictive-maintenance
