Failure diagnosis in assets: Steps, tools, and best practices

Failure diagnosis in assets is an essential process to increase reliability and operational safety in industrial environments. When performed superficially or only as a corrective measure, the risk is addressing symptoms without tackling the root cause — leading to recurring failures, higher costs, and reduced productivity. Just like in medicine — where a fever can… Continue reading Failure diagnosis in assets: Steps, tools, and best practices

Data Integration: Why it is essential for predictive maintenance

The evolution of industrial maintenance increasingly depends on the ability to transform scattered information into actionable intelligence. In this context, data integration goes beyond being just a technical step and becomes a strategic pillar for predictive maintenance and asset management. In this manner, by consolidating information from IoT sensors, supervisory systems (SCADA), ERPs, CMMS, and… Continue reading Data Integration: Why it is essential for predictive maintenance

How to increase the reliability of industrial assets?

Increasing the reliability of industrial assets is one of the greatest challenges for maintenance engineers and managers. Reliability is directly linked to a piece of equipment’s ability to perform its intended function without failure during the planned operating period. When reliability is low, it compromises productivity, raises maintenance costs, and puts operational safety at risk.… Continue reading How to increase the reliability of industrial assets?

ISO 27001: How to ensure information security and reliability in the industry

ISO 27001 is the leading international standard for information security management. In an increasingly connected industrial environment — where IT and OT systems integrate through IoT — protecting data and ensuring operational continuity has become essential. ISO 27001 certification provides a solid framework to control risks, safeguard critical assets, and strengthen operational reliability. More than… Continue reading ISO 27001: How to ensure information security and reliability in the industry

How busbar thermographic monitoring prevents critical electrical failures 

Busbar monitoring is a key practice for electrical safety and operational continuity in industrial plants. Busbars are responsible for conducting and distributing energy, and are found in distribution panels, load centers, and critical systems that support production. Despite their importance, these components can develop silent faults that progress without visible signs, eventually leading to unexpected… Continue reading How busbar thermographic monitoring prevents critical electrical failures 

Industry 5.0: What it is, key differences, and its impact on industrial maintenance

Industry 5.0 represents the next evolution in industrial digitalization. While Industry 4.0 was defined by automation, IoT, and data analytics, this new phase expands the landscape by integrating machine intelligence with human decision-making capabilities. In this model, collaboration between people and smart technologies becomes the core of production and maintenance strategies.  In the context of… Continue reading Industry 5.0: What it is, key differences, and its impact on industrial maintenance
