Amazon Monitron customers

Amazon Monitron has given us the actionable data needed to maintain the thousands of manufacturing assets in our facilities, allowing us to predict and preempt unplanned equipment downtime.

Using Amazon Monitron, technicians go from being reactive to proactive. You’re no longer waiting for something to break down. You’re already there planning and working on it.

Over the past year we have partnered with AWS to help develop a critical but sometimes overlooked part of running a successful manufacturing business which is knowing the condition of your equipment. For manufacturers worldwide, uptime of equipment is the only way we can remain competitive with a global market. Ensuring equipment is up and running and not being surprised by sudden breakdowns helps get the most out of our equipment. Unplanned downtime is costly both in loss of production and labor due to the firefighting nature of the breakdown.

The Amazon Monitron condition monitoring system has the potential of giving both large industry as well as small ‘mom and pop shops’ the ability to predict failures of their equipment before a catastrophic breakdown shuts them down. This will allow for a scheduled repair of failing equipment before it breaks down.

We are constantly trying to innovate how we serve the maintenance needs of our customers. With the emergence of IoT, we have seen our customers looking to bring real-time condition monitoring capabilities into the factory environment to reduce reactive maintenance and improve asset reliability. We are excited to be partnering with AWS to bring Amazon Monitron to our customers because it allows them to deploy a cost effective, easy to use, continuously improving condition monitoring solution and enable predictive maintenance across a broader set of equipment in their asset base. Although we stock over 500,000 products from 2500 different suppliers, this is the first end-to-end wireless vibration and temperature condition monitoring solution in our portfolio. We plan to make Amazon Monitron available to our customers via our e-commerce platform, and leverage it to deliver condition-based monitoring and reliability services through RS Monition, our data led, reliability services business. Our partnership with AWS will enable us to support our customers’ efforts to adopt IoT and ML as emerging technologies and accelerate their Industry 4.0 strategies.

Amazon Monitron has provided us with the necessary data to maintain our production line in optimal condition, and to gain visibility into our processes, allowing us to predict and prevent unplanned equipment downtime.
