Manufacturers today face a perfect storm of challenges. Supply chains are more complex, customer expectations are higher, and plants are under pressure to deliver uptime, quality, and safety while meeting stricter regulatory compliance goals. At the same time, the workforce is in transition: experienced technicians are retiring, younger talent is hard to attract, and many plants are forced to operate lean with fewer people covering more assets.
For maintenance teams, this means constant pressure to do more with less—keeping machines reliable and costs down, often without the staff or skills to match the demand. The result is stress, burnout, and a cycle of firefighting that drains productivity and morale. This white paper explores how predictive maintenance (PdM) offers a way forward, helping manufacturers not just cope with today’s realities, but build stronger, more resilient teams.
