A large tire and rubber manufacturer in the Midwest United States needed to reduce excessive motor repair costs. Utilizing various Siemens MMRP services, the costs were reduced by 40% in the first year. They then implemented Siemens Preventive and Predictive Maintenance modules and relied on Siemens Root-Cause Failure Analysis consultation. This has led to multimillion-dollar savings over more than ten years of increased reliability and performance.
