Most preventive maintenance tasks aren’t really adding value.
That’s because preventive maintenance is often scheduled instead of being condition-based. Without continuous condition-based data, most teams rely on:
-
Fixed and periodic inspections
-
Subjective interpretation by a technician
-
Overly cautious or reactive planning
"60% of maintenance work is either unnecessary or incorrectly timed."
The Villari effect
Villari's sensor-based Structural Health Monitoring solution (SHM) provides continuous and reliable insights on what needs repair and when.
With the Villari system you can:
Reduce the number of your maintenance and repair windows
Move from calendar-based to schedule-based maintenance
Plan repairs when they are due - not too early and not too late
How a steel production facility gained 25 days of uptime and cut 80 maintenance hours per year
Situation
Implementation
As steel assets exceeded their calculated design life, fatigue and crack-prone areas increased, they drove more maintenance windows, higher downtime, and a growing number of emergency repairs.
Villari sensors were installed at the most fatigue-critical, hard-to-access locations during a planned maintenance window, minimizing disruption to operations.
Have you ever experienced a similar challenge?
Results
Continuous monitoring eliminated unscheduled repairs, delivered 25 extra days of uptime per year, reduced maintenance time by 80 hours annually, and doubled inspection accuracy.
