How to reduce downtime with smarter service capabilities

Unplanned downtime poses serious threats to industrial profitability. Machine downtime creates numerous downstream impacts, from producing waste and interrupting supply chain networks to causing SLA compliance issues and equipment safety hazards.

Eliminate unplanned machine downtime by gaining real-time data visibility into equipment performance and usage data so that you can fix problems before they result in interruptions to critical operations for your end user. Sell a higher-level SLA by offering improved system performance and service responsiveness. Service leaders who work with PTC see their customers reduce costly downtime, while being regarded as a trusted partner invested in customer success.

Industrial connectivity

Creating a standardized connectivity layer across all equipment and systems—regardless of brand—is the building block to true real-time visibility for machine builders. With visibility into all equipment usage and performance data, you can capitalize on the opportunity to intervene with issues before they result in costly downtime.

Start with Connectivity

Remote monitoring

Improve system performance from anywhere by monitoring real-time equipment data against historical data to assess maintenance issues, hardware and software errors, and perceived downtime that impact end user performance and slow down changeover times.

Monitor Your Machines

Predictive maintenance

After enabling connectivity and monitoring through sensor data, you can detect, prevent, and reduce downtime for end users. Monitor inputs likely to cause equipment failure or damage from temperature, vibration, and more to prompt operators to change conditions before downtime occurs.

Deliver Smarter Maintenance

Field service productivity

Accelerate service success, first-time fix rate, and mean time to repair. Equip your service organization with the tools they need to optimize call planning and reduce truck rolls through remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, and the right augmented work instructions to fix issues the first time.

Accelerate Field Service

Eliminate NTF calls

Eliminate no trouble found issues for your end users by enabling them to complete repairs themselves, eliminating the need for truck rolls from your service technicians. Provide your end users with the tools and data they need to detect, diagnose, and resolve issues before they result in unplanned downtime.
