Mechanical & Plant Engineering – Beyond the Pulse Check
Our paper translates AI-business priorities in the Mechanical & Plant Engineering sector into a concrete, use-case driven roadmap.
AI is firmly on the agenda in Mechanical & Plant Engineering. Yet many organisations struggle to scale initiatives and realise measurable ROI. Fragmented data, unclear ownership and limited operational adoption remain key barriers.
Our paper shows how leading companies move beyond pilots and embed AI into core processes – creating tangible impact across cost, uptime and service execution.
It focuses on three proven use cases:
- AI-enabled Portfolio Optimisation delivering 5–20% cost savings and up to 50% faster cost-down cycles
- AI-Powered Predictive Maintenance reducing unplanned downtime by ~20% and increase output by ~15%
- AI‑Enabled Standardisation of Error‑Prone Operation enabling near lights‑out operations and OEE >85%
