Hidden Costs You're Missing

  • Expedited shipping: $2,000-5,000 per emergency parts order
  • Overtime labor: 1.5-2x normal labor rates
  • Cascading failures: One broken machine can halt the entire line

AssetLab Prevention

Meter-based PM schedules trigger maintenance at 500 operating hours instead of calendar dates—preventing failures before they happen.

Real Manufacturing Teams. Real Results.

"We had a CNC mill that failed every 6 months, costing $18K per breakdown. AssetLab's meter-based PM triggered maintenance at 500 hours. Zero breakdowns in 18 months."

David Chen
Maintenance Manager
Precision Parts Manufacturing
$72K saved in 18 months

"Our production line had 96 hours of downtime last year. Switched to preventive maintenance with AssetLab. Downtime dropped to 38 hours. OEE went from 67% to 81%."

Sarah Martinez
Operations Director
Automotive Component Supplier
OEE +14% in first year

"QR codes changed how we work. A technician scans the machine, sees the last 20 work orders, knows exactly which parts fail. Response time went from 4 hours to 45 minutes."

Michael Rodriguez
Lead Technician
Food Processing Plant
4hr → 45min response

"We manage 3 plants with 450+ machines. Now we see TCO per machine, compare maintenance costs across sites. We justified a $380K capital request with actual cost data."
