The Most Important Maintenance Metric Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) measures how long it takes to fix equipment. Before AI: Average MTTR of 4 hours. After AI: Average MTTR of 2 hours or less. That’s 2 hours saved per incident. With 10 incidents per month at Rs.10 lakhs/hour, that’s Rs.2 Crores in annual savings. Ready to transform your maintenance operations? Visit aimyze.com

From Cost Center to Value Creator Here’s the good news: maintenance doesn’t have to be a cost center. With the right technology, it becomes a value creator. Predictive maintenance powered by agentic AI can: The Bottom Line Every hour of downtime is more expensive than you think.
