What is Reliability Digital Transformation?
Digital transformation refers to the acceleration of an existing process through digital conversion, resulting in faster data collection, analysis, and decision making. Digital transformation started to become a major focus of heavy asset industries during the ramp up of software in the 1990s when these industries began digitizing their documentation. This digitization process forced facilities in these industries to manage different data sets digitally instead of just on paper, improving the models that focused on the processes, real-time operational alerts, and types of maintenance and inspection tasks that should be performed at these facilities.
Today, industrial leaders are actively working on digital transformation initiatives, focusing on properly leveraging their data to enable more sustainable and profitable operations. One key part of a successful transformation is reliability and maintenance. We call this Reliability Digital Transformation.
