    Everyone’s talking about predictive maintenance. But in real life? It’s a flood of alerts, false positives, and missed failures. The result: frustration, wasted energy, and machines that still break.

    At Nanoprecise, we believe maintenance should be smarter and sharper. That’s why we’re championing Energy-Centered Maintenance (ECM): a bold new framework where AI meets energy intelligence to power decisions that matter.

    In this session, we’ll show you how ECM goes beyond thresholds and guesses. By analyzing six interdependent parameters in real-time—vibration, temperature, RPM, energy, acoustics, and humidity, and with Condition Intelligence, we predict failures and uncover invisible energy losses that drain your margins.

     

    You’ll hear how global manufacturers are using ECM to:

    • Unlock hidden efficiency
    • Predict failures with precision
    • Cut carbon while cutting downtime
    • Turn maintenance into a profit lever

     

    If your smart factory is still stuck with tons of data, it’s time for an upgrade. Join us to see why Energy-Centered Maintenance isn’t just the next step, it’s the leap.
