If you listen to some of the trade journals and marketing hype, AI, machine learning, and Industry 4.0 will end the need for "traditional" CM, maintenance, and reliability programs. What do you think?
If you are interested in my opinion, please join me for a presentation that briefly reviews the history of maintenance practices, briefly introduces what AI, machine learning, predictive & prescriptive maintenance, and Industry 4.0 are, and then discusses what CBM and reliability improvement should look like as these new technologies become more mainstream.
