Key takeaways
Downtime is measured in millions.
Unplanned downtime runs into the hundreds of thousands of dollars an hour and tens of millions a year per site, before a single safety or compliance consequence is counted.
Caution is expensive.
Heavy manual inspection and conservative schedules have grown up to keep assets sound, costly in time and people, and still short of the certainty the stakes demand.
The data exists to do better.
Condition and process data is plentiful; the gap is turning it into early, trustworthy warning.
