Unplanned downtime has become one of the most expensive and disruptive risks facing global manufacturers today.
Downtime now hits 6 in 10 manufacturers, draining up to $852M each week and exposing cracks in competitiveness and industrial resilience. Every week, manufacturers across the US, UK, and Germany lose hundreds of millions to disruptions that directly erode productivity, profitability, and supply chain resilience.
While disruption has always been part of manufacturing, what has changed is its scale, speed, and persistence. Yet, today, downtime is no longer a one-off event: it has become a systemic and recurring challenge, accelerating in frequency and overwhelming traditional reliability models.
