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

How to Implement Predictive Maintenance in Metals Manufacturing

This e-book explains how continuous monitoring strengthens reliability and boosts uptime across metals operations.

Inside, you’ll find:

  • Predictive maintenance in metals operations — learn how to move from a reactive to a proactive approach with minimal disruption.
  • Real-world predictive maintenance case studies — see how other metals plants prevented five hours of downtime and saved $265K.
  • Breaking barriers to predictive maintenance adoption — discover how to overcome challenges like limited bandwidth, legacy systems, and data overload.
  • Key maintenance KPIs for metals manufacturing — improve uptime, MTBF, scrap rate reduction, and ROI to prove measurable value.

Predictive Maintenance in the Metals Industry: Why It Matters

Unplanned downtime can cost metals manufacturers millions each year in lost production, scrap, and safety incidents. Predictive maintenance (PdM) provides the foresight needed to detect equipment problems early and avoid these costly breakdowns before they happen.

Metal companies that implement a PdM program with continuous monitoring, real-time analytics, and guidance from a dedicated expert can plan maintenance precisely, extend the lifespan of critical assets, and optimize performance across all production lines. The outcome is a safer, more reliable plant that meets KPIs every shift.
