The asset health parameters across the plant can now be collected, stored, and fed real time into software algorithms. The software then processes and analyzes the data, turns it into actionable insights accessed by maintenance engineers. Depending on the criticality can be passed on for further processing and approvals, through desktops and mobile devices.
