What is Data Downtime and Why it Matters

Just like production downtime stops your machines… data downtime stops your trust in the system.

It’s when:
⇨ A sensor flatlines, but no alert is triggered
⇨ A batch record has gaps you only notice after the fact
⇨ The data says a pump was fine, when it really wasn’t

But this isn’t downtime you can see.
It’s invisible.
It creeps in silently and only shows up when it’s too late.

If your decisions are powered by data,  then bad data is worse than no data.

The cost?
✅ Wrong root cause analysis
✅ Missed predictive maintenance windows
✅ Compliance gaps
✅ Lost trust in the system
