Key Challenges

Need to find ways to increase our competitive advantages

• Can we get more scalability and asset performance with fewer resources?

• What information should drive our people to take action?

• What is the financial impact of a failure or benefits from more performance?

Lacked key insights into the performance of assets from a variety of vendors

– no single source of truth

• How do we make sense of sensor data available?

• Are our current methods able to detect all potential points of failure?

• How do we drill deeper without having to log into so many systems?
