For decades, regulatory bodies like the FDA have created a culture of risk aversion. In response, pharma and medical product companies have designed maintenance programs that over-inspect and over-spend on equipment. Profit margins may allow for it, but there are significant downsides to this strategy, including safety risks, negative ESG impacts, avoidable costs, and low asset utilization.

• Cut maintenance costs and deviation incidents
• Reduce third-party dependencies
• Gain greater control over your their manufacturing environments
