CloudFlow Analytics
Predictive Maintenance & Demand Forecasting Platform
Project Overview
🎯 Business Problem
Manufacturing Equipment Downtime: Companies lose $50,000+ per hour due to unplanned equipment failures, with 15-20% unplanned downtime industry-wide.
Retail Inventory Inefficiency: Retailers lose 4% annual revenue from stockouts and overstock situations, with poor demand forecasting accuracy.
🚀 Solution Delivered
Predictive Maintenance: 94% accuracy equipment failure prediction system with 24-72 hour advance warning capability.
Demand Forecasting: 8.2% MAPE retail demand forecasting with automated seasonality detection and promotional impact analysis.
