Without proactive monitoring, facilities face higher failure rates, longer interruptions, and inefficient energy use. This white paper outlines a framework for calculating the ROI of monitoring and maintenance contracts, focusing on four key value areas: • Quantifying downtime reduction via remote monitoring and predictive maintenance • Calculating energy savings and carbon reductions from proactive upkeep • Assessing staff optimization and spare parts cost avoidance through outsourcing Access the full white paper for detailed ROI methods and a web-based evaluation tool.
