Pega Digital Prescriptive Maintenance Solution
Optimizing Industry 4.0 Aftermarket Services
Background
Machine, product, and vehicle downtime is never acceptable. The new generation of always connected consumers expect increasingly superior digital experiences. While today’s factories include wireless connectivity and sensors to visualize the entire production line, manufacturers still face serious challenges mining data to minimize or eliminate downtime at the first sign of trouble. As a result, while enterprises chase digital transformation, many Industry 4.0 initiatives are failing.
The seamless combination of AWS IoT with Pega Intelligent Automation provides manufacturers the most compelling digital transformation platform to keep machines and devices operating and vehicles on the road. The road to IoT success runs through Intelligent Automation.

Features
Diagnose events before they happen
Digital Prescriptive Maintenance (DPM) proactively optimizes the cost and duty-cycle of devices and systems. The seamless combination of AWS IoT with Pega provides the most compelling digital transformation platform to keep machines and devices operating and vehicles on the road. In one unified environment, sensor data is captured and triaged, then combined with other event or reference information to recommend the right action and orchestrate the outcomes – enabling operations managers and engineers to prevent failures. Technicians can be proactively dispatched to make fixes before the customer is even aware of a problem.
Dynamic Case Management™
Dynamic Case Management maximizes the operational performance envelope by sensing conditions, analyzing, and prescribing the next best action for prevention or repair, and even issuing automatic updates of embedded software. Pega makes all the proper notifications and even manages exceptions and escalations. Users can restore uptime and address claims obligations in warranty that cross organizational silos.
