What Most Vendors Call Predictive Maintenance
- IoT sensors that send threshold alerts when readings cross a static limit
- Calendar-based maintenance schedules repackaged as "AI-optimised"
- Dashboards that show you what already happened, not what's coming
- Black-box algorithms with hidden assumptions engineers cannot review
- No connection between the prediction and the work order that follows
- No verification of whether the intervention actually worked
- Models that never learn from outcomes. Same predictions, cycle after cycle
- Generic benchmarks presented as site-specific limits
