Key takeaways
Downtime is constant and costly.
The average plant loses around eight hundred hours a year to unplanned downtime, better than fifteen hours a week of lost capacity.
Much of it is preventable.
Roughly a quarter of machine downtime traces to human error rather than the machine, and most of the rest gives warning in the data first.
The data already exists.
Every line has been recording itself for years; the ability to act on it in the moment is what never arrived.
