A good pilot did not make maintenance AI easy to deploy
Murphy’s two-platform, 24-month project deployed 46 rotating-equipment models. Missing data delayed the first model until six months after kickoff.
No quantified downtime savings, project cost or net ROI. A known-failure pilot’s 100–121-day warning was a replay, not demonstrated live lead time.
Limits: The reviewed 2023 alerts are older context; current operating status is unknown. The authors cite insufficient supplier equipment expertise and reported mitigation—not abandonment. Platform names, supplier and precision/recall are undisclosed; no autonomous maintenance established.
