before they disrupt operations , forecasting exactly when maintenance is required . By creating virtual representations of physical assets , processes , or systems , manufacturers can monitor , analyze , and optimize real-world operations . In the context of asset condition monitoring and predictive maintenance , digital twins are increasingly being utilized to improve operational efficiency and reduce downtime .
Asset condition monitoring and predictive maintenance are becoming an increasingly essential component of efficient and productive operations , optimizing asset performance , reducing failure of critical assets , and avoiding unplanned downtime . This is crucial when you consider that industrial assets typically operate for 20 to 30 years . With IIoT sensors generating extensive volumes of data however , predictive maintenance works best when paired with a high-performance , trusted connectivity solution . A platform that can handle the data needs , speed and security required in these highly complex industrial settings . And this is exactly why private 5G is emerging as a cornerstone technology for manufacturers looking to make their operations more productive and efficient .
