We guide leaders in transforming maintenance into a competitive edge—one proven idea at a time. 

In this issue, we explore why embracing digital reliability now isn’t just smart—it’s essential to stay competitive, efficient, and ready for what’s next.

Context

I visited a plant recently where leadership had just rolled out a digital maintenance platform. Sensors were installed. Tablets were issued. Dashboards looked sharp. But in a month, most work orders were still being printed.

A technician said, “We don’t really trust it yet. The old way still works.”

That moment stuck with me.

The real challenge in digital reliability isn’t the technology—it’s the transition.

And it’s more common than most leaders want to admit.

This issue explores why the shift matters now—and how to move forward without getting stuck.
