Condition Monitoring Service Opportunity
• Pressure to increase productivity
• Equipment is more complex
• More data available
• Limited Information for Decision Making
• Changing workforce
• Assets are
– Dispersed
– Low Population Density
– Autonomous
• Experts are
– Valuable
– Not next to equipment
