Predictive maintenance on Azure only pays off when a warning arrives early enough for your team to act on it. In this episode of the iFAKT series, we start with the maintenance decision and work backward to the evidence, data and process you need before choosing a model on Azure. We follow one hypothetical asset from sensor reading to approved work order and ask the questions most projects skip: What action should a warning trigger? How much warning horizon do spares, permits, isolation and production planning really need? Can the fault produce evidence early enough to change the plan? You will learn how to define the maintenance decision first, how to separate preparation time from hands-on repair time, how to judge whether a failure signal is usable, and how to connect Azure data and machine learning to the maintenance process your technicians already follow. Who it is for: maintenance managers, reliability engineers, plant and production leaders, OT and IT architects, and data teams planning predictive maintenance, condition monitoring and industrial AI on Microsoft Azure in manufacturing.
