Guidance for Predictive Maintenance with Amazon Monitron

Go to sample code

Overview

This Guidance helps you generate actionable insights for predictive maintenance management in industrial environments using Amazon Monitron and other AWS services. Machine and process failures often lead to reactive responses and require costly preventive maintenance, which can result in over-maintaining or missed issues. Amazon Monitron allows you to implement proactive, predictive maintenance and reduce unplanned downtime, so you can improve equipment health and uptime while maximizing productivity and quality. This Guidance also enables ingestion of Amazon Monitron insights and the creation of real-time reporting visualizations to support efficient asset management and strategic operational planning.

This serverless architecture diagram enhances sustainability by reducing manual and unnecessary maintenance of factory equipment. This, in turn, reduces the related carbon footprint of such maintenance while improving equipment uptime. Additionally, the cloud-based services in this Guidance help ensure high availability to facilitate sustainable predictive maintenance activities.
