Why Industrial Leaders Must Adapt

Asset Management at Scale

Managing fleets of compressors, pumps, turbines, and heavy vehicles requires more than manual logs and siloed systems. Customers expect real-time visibility into equipment performance, streamlined serviceability, and proactive maintenance. Modern platforms must simplify asset lifecycle management, keep machines productive, and protect uptime across thousands of deployed units.

A Shifting Regulatory Landscape

New legislation such as the EU Data Act and Cyber Resilience Act is putting new obligations on anyone that sells connected equipment. Compliance is no longer optional and failure to meet data security and transparency obligations can mean significant fines. These laws mean connected industrial equipment need to focus on protecting and securing sensitive data.

Data Hygiene is Critical for AI

With growing interest in applications for AI and ML, companies are realizing that the real challenge is not just having the right tools, but having the right data—clean, connected, and accessible. Without data hygiene, predictive models fail, and decision-making slows.

Predictive Maintenance to Maximize Uptime

Customers expect equipment that never stops. Industrial equipment must deliver reliable uptime, with issues detected and resolved before failures occur. Platforms that enable real-time monitoring, anomaly detection, and automated service workflows not only reduce downtime but also build trust and long-term loyalty.

Rising Customer Expectations for Serviceability

Manufacturers report that serviceability is now a top priority. Equipment must stay online even during labor shortages. Customers expect remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, faster troubleshooting, and higher uptime - all of which require connected, intelligent assets.
