1 real-life Business Process Automation example for Facilities

Automation in facilities connects physical spaces, assets, vendors, occupants, and maintenance schedules rather than purely digital workflows.

The biggest gains come from automating work orders, inspections, preventive maintenance, contractor coordination, and occupancy communications so teams can run buildings more reliably and cost-effectively without losing visibility into on-the-ground conditions.

Cargill's Automated Equipment Failure System

This automation enables Cargill to transition from reactive repairs to proactive asset management by utilising Azima DLI software to monitor 15,000 industrial assets. The system leverages continuous vibration and temperature analysis to identify early signs of mechanical failure, allowing operations teams to schedule interventions before breakdowns occur.

Use Case
Predicting equipment failure
Tools
Azima DLI
Input
Continuous vibration and temperature sensor data from 15,000 industrial assets
Process
Azima DLI’s AI analyses vibration and temperature patterns using machine learning to identify early indicators of mechanical failure. The system generates automated alerts before a failure occurs, enabling scheduled maintenance.
Output
Proactive maintenance replaces reactive repair; reduced unplanned downtime across facilities
Outcome
10% reduction in maintenance needs; decreased downtime and extended machine lifespan
