Asset Performance Management (APM) is a strategic approach to improving the reliability, availability, and overall performance of physical assets. It combines data, analytics, and engineering insight to help organizations predict failures, reduce risk, and optimize how assets perform over time.  Unlike traditional maintenance systems that focus mainly on tracking work orders or scheduling routine tasks, APM is centered on performance outcomes. […]

Enterprise asset management (EAM) is a strategy and software that helps organizations manage the entire lifecycle of their operational assets—from purchase and installation to maintenance, upgrades, and decommissioning. A modern EAM system typically combines work order management, preventive maintenance scheduling, spare parts and inventory control, and analytics, providing teams with a single place to track asset

Manufacturing costs are the total costs required to produce goods—from the moment inputs enter the production system to the point a finished product is ready for sale.   For CFOs, CEOs, and COOs, the focus is less on accounting detail and more on understanding what shapes costs in practice—and where leadership decisions can influence outcomes. At a high level, manufacturing costs

Manufacturers are under pressure to do more with less: less time, less energy, less waste, and fewer people on the shop floor. Connected manufacturing is about linking machines, people, systems, and data so they work as one, instead of as separate islands. When production lines, warehouses, quality, maintenance, and supply chain all share real-time information,

Industrial sites are busy, messy places. You’ve got more connected machines than ever, strict safety rules, and fewer people covering larger areas. Data pours in from sensors, PLCs, SCADA, and maintenance systems—but it’s scattered. When something goes wrong, it can take too long to spot and even longer to fix.  Walk-throughs and manual checks still

Downtime is one of the most costly challenges faced by asset-intensive organizations. Whether in manufacturing, energy, utilities, or transportation, unplanned interruptions reduce productivity, increase costs, and can even compromise safety. Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) provides a structured, data-driven approach to managing physical assets throughout their lifecycle, helping organizations minimize downtime and improve reliability.  By combining maintenance strategies,

For manufacturing CFOs, operational cost control is no longer only about annual budget discipline. Volatile energy prices, tighter capital markets, and increasing asset complexity demand a more systematic, data-driven approach. Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) provides a financial and operational framework to reduce costs, improve asset performance, and increase capital efficiency across the entire asset lifecycle.  This article
