Predictive maintenance implementation typically takes 5-8 months for a production line including IoT sensor deployment (4-6 weeks), data collection and preprocessing (8-12 weeks), machine learning model development and training (8-10 weeks), integration with CMMS (4 weeks), and production rollout with monitoring (4-6 weeks). Pilot projects with 10-15 machines can launch in 4 months. ROI typically achieved within 12-18 months through downtime reduction.
