  • Optimize maintenance schedule & crew utilization
• Anticipate needs for replacement components
  • On-hand as needed, without extra carrying costs

The Solution

• Unify data in end-to-end tire lifecycle
  • Raw material to finished product
• Range of data sources in their models:
  • Sensor data from the plant operations
  • Log entries
    • Error and failure messages
    • Repair and maintenance service reports

The Impact

• Drastically reduce risk of shutdown as result of:
