Rildo shares how his team leverages SAP, IoT, and predictive maintenance tools to shift from reactive to proactive strategies, improving asset performance and reducing downtime.

We also discuss the importance of root cause analysis (RCA) in preventing recurring failures and how AI-driven insights are shaping the future of reliability. Rildo highlights a key lesson from his career: "Fixing is not the same as solving." Tune in to hear how his team is building a proactive culture and using data-driven strategies to enhance maintenance efficiency.
