Asset Intelligence: How Connected Tech Rewrites Equipment Longevity

By: McIlrath, Jason

Asset Intelligence: How Connected Tech Rewrites Equipment Longevity is a practical, forward-looking guide to the next evolution of maintenance and reliability. It shows how modern operations move beyond reactive fixes and basic preventive maintenance into a world where machines communicate, predict their own failures, and continuously improve how they're maintained.

This book breaks down complex concepts-IoT sensors, condition monitoring, predictive and prescriptive maintenance, digital twins, and data-driven decision making-into clear, usable ideas for the real factory floor. It explains not just what connected technologies are, but how they fundamentally change the lifespan, cost, and performance of critical assets.

Written for maintenance leaders, reliability engineers, technicians, and operations managers, Asset Intelligence connects technology to outcomes: reduced downtime, longer asset life, smarter PM strategies, and better collaboration between maintenance, engineering, and leadership. It emphasizes turning raw data into actionable intelligence-so decisions are driven by evidence, not assumptions.

Rather than hype or theory, this book focuses on practical application, cultural shifts, and governance-showing how to integrate connected tech into existing Maintenance Operating Systems (MOS) without overwhelming teams or budgets. It also addresses the human side of asset intelligence: trust in data, accountability, and the evolving role of maintenance professionals in a connected world.

If you want to understand how modern plants are extending equipment life, lowering risk, and transforming maintenance into a strategic advantage, Asset Intelligence provides the roadmap.
