Reduce unscheduled downtime

with predictive analytics
The combination of AVEVA’s Predictive Analytics and PI System™ creates
a new approach to asset monitoring for mining and metals companies.
Unscheduled downtime can lead to missed targets, cost overruns, and
reduced profitability. Making better use of available operations data to
prevent potential disruptions is critical for operational resiliency.

Now, PI System users can easily and automatically deliver relevant

operations data to AVEVA™ Predictive Analytics, use its proven, AI-infused
algorithms to get insight into asset performance, and – most importantly –
quickly and accurately operationalize those insights. These insights allow
mining and metals companies to move from condition-based maintenance
to a full predictive maintenance strategy – and ultimately lay the
groundwork for prescriptive maintenance.
The data science project trap With this approach, no one has to wait for data
scientists and IT teams to build predictive models.
