Sensor Maturity & Readiness Assessment

{"Title":"Sensor Maturity & Readiness Assessment","IntroductionHtml":"

Use this audit to quickly determine whether an asset (or group of assets) is ready for a practical predictive maintenance pilot. Score each area from 1 (poor / missing) to 5 (excellent / production-ready). Add notes or evidence where helpful. Saved responses create a record you can track, compare across assets, and use to prioritize pilot investments.

Scoring guidance: 1 = missing or unusable; 2 = very immature; 3 = basic coverage but gaps; 4 = mostly complete with minor issues; 5 = strong and ready for pilot.
