Predictive Maintenance Management in Business Central

US manufacturers are losing $50 billion a year to unplanned downtime, and the ERP software running those factories has no idea it's happening. In this episode, Emma and Ryan dig into why Business Central goes completely silent on machine health, and how Maintenance Manager by Insight Works closes that gap without a single bolt-on integration.

They walk through how the app uses standard production orders as its foundation, automatically tracks wear against real runtime data, and puts digital work instructions right in a technician's hands on the shop floor. It's a surprisingly elegant fix to a problem most manufacturers have quietly accepted as unsolvable.

Tune in to hear how giving your equipment a voice inside Business Central can transform the way you think about maintenance, parts planning, and even future equipment purchasing decisions.
