Many innovations in the manufacturing industry have made incredible impacts on the ways in which manufacturers navigate difficult and uncertain times, ensuring that they remain viable and successful. One example of that type of innovation is found in industrial sensors. Industrial sensors are the technology behind vast improvements in maintenance efficiency and effectiveness, helping organizations to carry out highly targeted maintenance that occurs exactly when needed. Industrial sensors such as gas flow measurement devices, vibration sensors, and spectrometers help to identify the earliest signs of failure in equipment, enabling technicians to troubleshoot and identify potential issues well before they lead to production problems and downtime. These sensors constantly collect data, facilitating analytics and metrics that can trigger alerts as soon as potentially faulty conditions are detected. This form of maintenance — called predictive maintenance — can reduce emergency reactive maintenance events and can supplement and improve upon scheduled maintenance, which occurs on a fixed schedule. Predictive maintenance remains one of the most effective strategies for manufacturing organizations to lean on when it comes to preserving equipment status. To learn more about this form of maintenance and others, read on to the resource accompanying this post.

Supply chain issues continue to put manufacturers on edge. Though no fault of their own, sudden and often drastic shortages of the materials they need continue to occur. It could be due to political conflict, a lack of labor forces, or numerous other factors. In all cases, when a manufacturer cannot get the product it needs, things shut down. Many manufacturers are looking for innovative solutions for handling supply chain issues. Whether that be redesigning and retooling supply chains, improving transparency from suppliers, improving supply chain planning, or even returning to native production in the United States; manufacturers have options. To learn more about those options and the ways in which they can positively contribute to your organization’s bottom line, be sure to spend a moment reviewing the resource included alongside this post.
