The Challenge
Unplanned downtime was the single largest source of margin erosion, with maintenance largely calendar-based and reactive.
- 1Significant production losses from unplanned equipment failures
- 2Over-maintenance of healthy assets and under-maintenance of degrading ones
- 3Limited cross-plant visibility for benchmarking and best-practice sharing
Our Solution
CloudGate built a smart factory platform combining IoT, digital twins, and ML-driven predictive maintenance across all plants.
- Sensor-based monitoring of critical production equipment
- Digital twins of assets for failure mode modeling
- Automated work order generation in CMMS
