Harnessing Data For Better Maintenance Outcomes

Using a calendar to determine when maintenance is needed for pumps, blowers, and other equipment no longer gets the job done. That’s because the ability to harness data to drive condition-based maintenance is now available. Understanding how your assets are performing, versus how they should be performing, is a key step towards predictive analytics. In this Water Talk interview, Manuel Parra, business development director for water and wastewater solutions with AVEVA, discusses industrial software for asset performance management that is allowing water managers use data to reduce the cost of their maintenance and extend the life of those critical assets.
