It’s hard to identify which machines need attention on a plant floor because there’s so much going on. If your plant is like most, you might have both new and old machines, they’re running simple and complex jobs, and each one has different specs and features. It may feel nearly impossible to tell which machines are running well and which ones need urgent service.
