CASE STUDY How One Automotive Manufacturing Leader Saved $1.26M by Preventing RTO Fan Failure
Early detection and guided intervention kept production online, avoided 16 hours of downtime, and ensured compliance.
Unplanned downtime doesn’t just slow production - it can create cascading costs, safety risks, and even compliance issues.
Discover how a high-throughput automotive plant used Waites wireless sensors and analyst insights to catch a degrading RTO fan motor before it failed. By acting early, the team avoided emergency crane lifts, coordinated repairs during a planned shutdown, and saved over $1.26 million in cost avoidance.
What You'll Learn
- How early detection of bearing degradation prevented failure during peak production.
- How guided analyst intervention enabled safe, planned replacement instead of costly emergency downtime.
- How proactive action saved $1.26M and 16 hours of lost production while keeping compliance intact
