PdM tells you when. That was never the hard part.
Most PdM deployments end up here: dashboard says bearing fails in 3 weeks. Then someone still has to figure out why, cross-reference the ops logs, pull the manual, check the line context, decide the fix.
The prediction was the easy part. The diagnosis is where the time goes.
Most orgs are closer than they think. If you have SCADA or ops logs, the raw material is already there.
Has anyone made the jump from classical PdM to something more diagnostic? Where did the friction actually show up?
