The industrial sector is rapidly evolving towards digital transformation, and SMEs must adapt to stay competitive. Connected monitoring optimizes machine maintenance, boosts productivity, and reduces operational costs. Yet, 80% of industrial failures could be prevented with intelligent equipment monitoring. So, why wait?
Machine Downtime: A Costly Issue for SMEs
Every production stoppage represents a significant cost for SMEs. According to a study by Aberdeen Research, an unexpected breakdown costs an industrial company an average of €260,000 per hour.
With connected monitoring, SMEs can:
- Detect anomalies in real time and intervene before a failure occurs.
- Avoid unplanned downtime, which disrupts production schedules.
- Optimize Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and improve productivity.
With a solution like Lesly, businesses experience an average 40% improvement in machine availability.
More Efficient and Cost-Effective Maintenance
Many SMEs still rely on corrective or preventive maintenance. The problem? These traditional methods result in unnecessary costs and inefficient interventions.
By adopting connected monitoring, transitioning to predictive maintenance offers significant advantages:
- 25% reduction in maintenance costs.
- 70% decrease in breakdowns thanks to early detection.
- 30% increase in equipment lifespan.
Lesly uses unsupervised artificial intelligence to analyze machine data and anticipate failures. This ensures interventions are scheduled at the optimal time, preventing costly breakdowns and unnecessary part replacements.
Data-Driven Decision Making
Every industrial machine generates thousands of data points daily—temperature, vibrations, energy consumption, and more. Without the right tools, this valuable information remains unutilized.
With a solution like Lesly, SMEs can:
- Analyze and understand the root causes of machine downtime.
- Optimize energy consumption by reducing overuse.
- Enhance production quality by detecting abnormal variations.
Historical data tracking allows businesses to anticipate trends, adjust production schedules, and pinpoint weaknesses in their machinery fleet.
Securing Equipment and Protecting Industrial Data
With the rise of Industry 4.0, cybersecurity is a major concern. 43% of cyberattacks target SMEs, and a security breach can completely halt production.
Lesly incorporates advanced security protocols to mitigate these risks:
- Locally stored data on a secure industrial PC.
- Reduced cybersecurity risks with a closed network.
- Compliance with industrial data protection standards.
This approach ensures that critical information remains protected from external threats.
Fast ROI and Easy Implementation
Contrary to common belief, connected monitoring isn’t just for large industries. With solutions like Lesly, SMEs can deploy intelligent monitoring systems without disrupting existing infrastructure.
On average, ROI for connected maintenance solutions is achieved within 12 months due to:
- 20% reduction in material waste.
- Lower costs related to emergency repairs.
- 15–20% increase in productivity.
Conclusion: A Strategic Advantage for SMEs
Adopting connected monitoring allows SMEs to shift from reactive to proactive machine management. The result? Fewer breakdowns, lower costs, and optimized production.
With Lesly, SMEs gain access to a turnkey solution that is easy to implement and delivers immediate benefits.
Industry 4.0 is here—now is the time for SMEs to embrace smart maintenance.
