Enhancing Industrial Reliability with Adaptive Monitoring
A study by IMARC Group estimated that the digital manufacturing market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.7% from 2024 to 2032. This adoption of digital manufacturing tools and practices is essential to the future of operations, especially as traditional control systems fail to keep up with evolving environments and circumstances. Instead, operations are going to rely more and more on AI and automation driven systems that are capable of adapting quickly and efficiently. A significant part of those adaptive capabilities is and will continue to be adaptive monitoring.
Adaptive Monitoring in Industrial Fields
Monitoring is important across the wide range of industrial and manufacturing sectors. For instance, monitoring is used to address security risks and data flow management in the medical device production field. Access to the real-time data gathered via monitoring is also crucial to industries such as shipping, supply chain management, and electric power system maintenance.
Benefits of Adaptive Monitoring
By having access to the insights adaptive monitoring provides, operators throughout the fields listed above as well as others are better equipped to predict and handle disruptions that come with external factors. Those external factors could come in the form of climate change, geopolitical challenges, etc. With adaptive monitoring, they are able to make necessary and informed adjustments to inventory, cybersecurity measures, routes, and a variety of other elements included in manufacturing and industrial processes. Boiled down, adaptive monitoring is a cost saving tool that enhances reliability and prevents causes of potential shutdowns.
