Forging Ahead: Unlocking Uptime and Operational Resilience in the Metals Industry

Forging Ahead: Unlocking Uptime and Operational Resilience in the Metals Industry is a comprehensive guide for metals manufacturers seeking to reduce unplanned downtime and strengthen plant reliability.
Developed by AssetWatch, this resource outlines the high financial, safety, and environmental costs of equipment failure—and how predictive maintenance (PdM) can reverse those risks.
It covers the transition from reactive or time-based maintenance to condition-based strategies powered by real-time data and human insight.
Featuring real-world case studies, such as a $265K downtime save and a gearbox life extension by 3 years, the guide also offers a clear framework for PdM adoption—from identifying high-risk assets to measuring ROI with KPIs that matter.
Whether you’re managing a steel mill, aluminum plant, or specialty metals facility, this guide helps maintenance teams and plant leaders build proactive, data-driven programs that deliver safer, more profitable operations.
