Beyond the Pilot Program: What It Actually Takes to Deploy Predictive Maintenance at Scale in US Manufacturing Plants
Predictive maintenance powered by AI and industrial IoT has moved well past the proof-of-concept stage—but translating a successful pilot into plant-wide deployment remains a significant operational and organizational challenge. This piece examines what early adopters across US manufacturing sectors have learned about implementation realities, common failure points, and the practical steps that separate programs delivering measurable returns from those that stall after the first trial run.
