    Working alongside Manufacturers for the last 7 years there has been a common theme that has progressively got worse, the ever-growing labour shortage & skills gap.

In late 2023 ERIKS commissioned the Manufacturing Indirect Supply Chain Survey to look deeper at this problem - and this webinar explores The MRO Supply Chain Report that was subsequently produced in association with the IET. 

    Among the report's revelations is the direct link between unscheduled downtime and the operation of the engineering stores, supply chain, and MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Operations) procurement. The survey data clearly demonstrated that in 2023 the main causes of downtime in UK manufacturing was due to spares availability and lead time issues.

    Why is it a good time to start your digitalized Predictive Maintenance approach?

    We are fully immersed in the 4.0 hype. Stating;Industry 4.0 feels like a hype and therefore partly has a negative connotation.

    Various suppliers are queuing up with their 'smart sensors', but which ones really bring added value? 

    During this presentation, a positive aspect of this hype is highlighted. What happens when a Reliability meets an engineer and Data Analyst. We also take a closer look at the successes, challenges and opportunities for the market. For example, what are the success criteria? We are going to define and specify these criteria in four simple steps.

    In the end one simple question remains: why should we start with implementing this TODAY?

    Today we notice a momentum that the maintenance and reliability community can use to take important steps.
