Industry 4.0 and IoT

Every day, new technologies bring new solutions to businesses to enable them to optimize their processes and improve their productivity. In the field of maintenance, IoT (for Internet of Things or Internet of Things) represents a major advance. Coupled with a new generation CMMS, it makes it possible to set up predictive (or predictive) maintenance plans that bring maintenance into the era of Industry 4.0.

IoT refers to the interconnection between the Internet and objects, equipment or machines. Direct communication is becoming possible between these physical goods and their digital existences. In terms of industrial maintenance, this connection takes the form of sensors placed on the machines and linked to a CMMS software capable of collecting the transmitted data and analyzing them.

Thanks to this data, the state of degradation of the machines can be analyzed in real time and maintenance interventions planned only when they are necessary but before a failure occurs. The application of a predictive maintenance strategy therefore represents progress both in relation to corrective maintenance, because it makes it possible to anticipate breakdowns and malfunctions, and in relation to preventive maintenance, because it avoids carrying out superfluous maintenance operations.

Managing maintenance thanks to IoT is now accessible to most businesses. To do this, all you need is a next-generation CMMS such as Mobility Work. Available in web and mobile versions, this 4.0 CMMS application works in SaaS mode (therefore by subscription) and uses the Cloud and Artificial Intelligence to collect and analyze the data transmitted by connected sensors.

Thanks to the precise monitoring of the condition of equipment and machines, maintenance managers and their teams of technicians can fulfill their mission much more precisely and efficiently, and focus on their technical know-how to carry out the essential maintenance interventions before a malfunction occurs.
