Automated systems are significant investments — but their real performance is often unclear. Hidden downtime, weak redundancy, or inconsistent maintenance can erode throughput and increase operating costs.
Ethon Advisory applies the FEM 9.222 framework to benchmark your system’s availability (A), Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), and Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) against international standards. The result is an objective view of system health, supported by practical recommendations to enhance uptime, reliability, and cost efficiency.
