Maintenance is no longer just about keeping equipment running—it’s about maximizing asset value across its entire lifecycle. This session presents a modern approach to maintenance by viewing assets as living systems that require ongoing care, proactive oversight, and strategic utilization. This session will explore how engineering teams can enhance their asset strategies through health monitoring, lifecycle intelligence, and CAPEX optimization. A real-world pilot project will illustrate how automation and advanced methodologies are transforming asset management in pharmaceutical manufacturing. In this session, you will learn how to:

• Shift from traditional maintenance to a holistic asset strategy aligned with business and operational goals.
• Treat assets like the human body—with tailored care plans, early detection mechanisms, and timely interventions.
• Establish clear, tangible criteria for asset usage, performance tracking, and end-of-life decision-making.
• Translate asset health insights into smarter capital investment (CAPEX) and lifecycle planning.

• What indicators or data points do you rely on today to assess asset health—and are they enough?
• How do you decide whether to maintain, upgrade, or retire an asset—what criteria guide these decisions?
• What internal barriers (e.g., systems, culture, silos) limit your ability to act on asset health insights?
• Where have you seen the greatest impact (or failure) when piloting asset health or automation strategies?
