Unreliable assets have enormous consequences. What if your assets could consistently operate at or above their rated capacities, for a greater percentage of total hours each year, all while spending less money on maintenance?

That’s exactly what today’s best companies have discovered how to do. Industry studies show that the average facility spends approximately 5% of its Replacement Asset Value (RAV) on maintenance each year. In comparison, best performers spend 60% less—just 2% of RAV—while enjoying better uptime, efficiency, and profitability. It’s not about simply spending less on maintenance; it’s about working differently—working smarter—to achieve more reliable steel production operations.

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is revolutionizing the way companies monitor their process operations. Dust Collector remote monitoring, in particular, is becoming increasingly popular among company executives and plant maintenance personnel because of its benefits. With the help of industrial IoT remote monitoring, companies across a wide variety of industries can improve their operations, streamline their production processes, increase safety for plant personnel, and reduce costs.

The dust collection industry does not experience technological advancements with great regularity. The techniques and equipment have remained much the same as they were years or even decades ago. However, technology does not slow down for us personally or in many areas of manufacturing. We are often left with no choice but to adapt or become left behind.

Installation of the gateway device on new or existing baghouses is fast and straightforward. Once power is applied, the gateway device automatically connects to the strongest cellular signal and begins transmitting data to the cloud for quick & easy access to users around the globe.
