Performance, cost, and risk
What are the performance, cost, and risk impacts of implementing this product?
- Performance: The maturity of a factory (in terms of installed sensors) can be assessed, allowing decision-makers to identify and deal with criticalities and preventing non-optimal investments.
- Cost: The worker hours required to implement the assessment.
- Risk: The product has been tested in a single industrial sector. An extension of scope may require further research.
Implementation requirements
What capabilities would a business/organization/institution need to have to implement this product?
- Processes: Relatively mature processes for acquiring and processing sensor data for maintenance purposes should be in place, as the assessment methodology assesses readiness and does not provide implementation guidance.
- Resources: Equipment sensors.
- Competences: Extensive knowledge of current sensoring technology, including their characteristics and purpose.
- Technologies: None required.
