Minimizing downtime and increasing production efficiency is one of the main goals of an effective maintenance strategy. Knowing the working hours, operating parameters, and consumption of one’s assets is the starting point for identifying operating conditions, studying their behavior, finding anomalies, and understanding the reasons for individual downtime. In this way, using different algorithms, it is possible to achieve the ideal strategy

The story of manufacturing is one of constant technological change and evolution. It is also a story with a sweeping geopolitical arc from the industrial revolution in 19th century Britain to modern day China accounting for nearly 30% of the world’s manufacturing1 . The march of the machines is relentless and for large portions of society, alarming. Today’s technology is even imbued with the ability to learn – Blake Lemoine, a software engineer at Google, believes a chatbot his firm has created is capable of conscious thought2.

Agile Manufacturing is a manufacturing philosophy that emphasizes flexibility, adaptability, and responsiveness in production processes. It is an approach that allows manufacturers to quickly respond to changing market demands and customer needs. The term Agile refers to a set of principles and practices aimed at delivering high-quality products that meet the needs of customers in a fast-changing environment. The term Agile Manufacturing was first coined in the early 1990s, during a time of increasing global competition and rapidly changing market conditions. As a result, manufacturers began to explore new ways to improve their competitiveness and responsiveness to changing customer needs, leading to the development of the Agile Manufacturing strategy. In January 1991, the term appeared in an important report entitled “21st Century Manufacturing Enterprise Strategy” by the Iacocca Institute at Lehigh University in the United States.
