Track Machine Availability and Eliminate Unplanned Downtime
Machine availability is linked to the efficiency and reliability of your machinery within the manufacturing process. Availability losses include but is not limited to:
- Unplanned stops e.g., equipment failures.
- Planned stops e.g., machine setup and recipe changeover time.
- Maintenance Time e.g., time spent on preventive or corrective maintenance that affects machine availability. Using Real-Time Monitoring helps you improve planned maintenance cycles. With RTM insights, you can identify which parts need replacement in advance, allowing you to order parts ahead of time. This approach saves costs by reducing unnecessary maintenance, minimising downtime, and avoiding the replacement of still-functional parts.

How to Improve Machine Availability?
Common ways to improve machine availability are:
- Regular Maintenance: Implement scheduled preventive maintenance to identify and address potential issues before they cause downtime.
- Data Analysis: Analyse historical data to identify recurring issues and address root causes.
- Real-Time Monitoring (RTM): Use real-time monitoring systems to track machine performance and predict faults early. With RTM insights into wear and tear, you can shorten the preventive maintenance cycle.
Using real-time maintenance (RTM) technologies in your production plants allows you to predict common fault conditions, which increases machine availability. This ensures throughput and minimises material losses.
Predictability
Your production equipment is available as planned.
Process stability
Your cycle times are never affected by damaged machines.
Self-monitoring
Your production systems automatically detect and report quality defects.
