Digital Technologies: Do not just monitor bad actor machines: Start when they are healthy
Often, facilities hesitate to invest in monitoring rotating equipment until the machine fails.

However, by implementing a remote monitoring solution on healthy equipment, users can set a baseline of machine health to gain essential insights when the machine begins to fail.
