Recurrence
Recurrence analysis, turning the failures that keep coming back into reliability actions
On the input side, everything that caused stoppages on the machine. On the output side, targeted actions to cut that downtime. Mimorian ranks recurring failures, groups them by cause, and opens a reliability agent on demand.
Mimorian's recurrence analysis reads a machine's interventions and incidents to surface the failures that keep coming back, rank them by occurrence and group them into clusters. On a component, a reliability agent analyses the remedies already applied and their convergences to target the actions that cut downtime.
The core problem: the same failure comes back, never treated at the root
On a machine, a few failures account for the largest share of downtime. They come back, they get repaired, they come back again. The pattern is in the data, but no one sees it.
The CMMS records every intervention, line after line. It keeps the trace of the action, not the overall picture. The fuse that blows every three weeks gets replaced every three weeks, while the underlying cause never surfaces.
Reliability work needs to see that pattern to act on it. Recurrence analysis makes it visible and usable: which failures weigh most, on which components, and which actions reduce them.
What Mimorian's recurrence analysis does
Mimorian reads the machine's history, surfaces the failures that weigh most, and opens reliability reasoning on demand.
A Pareto of occurrences
Failures are ranked by their weight on uptime. At a glance, you see the few recurrences that cost the most downtime, rather than a flat list to sift through.
Failure clusters
Mimorian groups the incidents that converge on the same problem, for example a head fuse in total failure, with their occurrence count, their origin and their spread over time.
Evolution over time
Each recurrence is tracked period by period: frequency, last occurrence, trend. You can see whether a problem is getting worse, holding steady or receding after an action.
A Pareto of the failing element
The analysis drills down to the component that comes back most often in a cluster's incidents, so the action can be aimed at the right place.
A reliability agent on demand
Selecting a component opens the agent. It analyses the remedies already applied and their convergences, then proposes concrete actions to reduce or remove the downtime tied to that component.
A loop that closes
Reliability actions attach to the machine and its failures. The next recurrence reading shows their effect, and the know-how stays in the plant.
The analysis starts from the intervention and incident history already captured. The existing history is enough: the material comes directly from the maintenance work itself.
How Mimorian targets a reliability action
From raw history to a concrete action on the right component, in four steps.
Mimorian aggregates the history
The machine's interventions and incidents are gathered and made comparable.
It ranks the recurrences
A Pareto of occurrences, failure clusters and evolution over time surface what weighs most.
You open the agent on a component
A click on the component opens the reliability agent, with the full context of its past failures.
The agent proposes targeted actions
It analyses the applied remedies and their convergences, then proposes actions to reduce the downtime tied to that component.
CMMS history or recurrence analysis: what is the difference?
The CMMS keeps the trace of every intervention. Recurrence analysis draws out the pattern and the action.
Who recurrence analysis serves
Reliability engineer, methods
He builds his improvement plans on quantified recurrences rather than impressions, and measures the effect of his actions period after period.
Maintenance manager
He knows which failures weigh most on uptime and where to concentrate the effort to cut downtime.
Production director
He sees recurring downtime recede, because maintenance treats the underlying causes and no longer just the symptoms.
Fits into your existing stack
Recurrence analysis works on the history you already have, from a simple export and alongside your tools. It returns a usable reading and targeted actions.
Recurrence, fed by knowledge capture and diagnostics
Every captured piece of know-how and every guided diagnosis feeds the recurrence analysis. The more failures the plant resolves with Mimorian, the richer the reliability reading: the same virtuous circle.
Frequently asked questions about recurrence analysis
Do you need sensors to analyse failure recurrence?
No. The analysis starts from the machine's intervention and incident history, already captured in Mimorian. It requires neither sensors nor an IoT project: the material comes from the maintenance work itself.
What is a failure cluster in Mimorian?
It is a grouping of incidents that converge on the same problem, for example the same failure on a head fuse. The cluster carries its occurrence count, its origin, its spread over time and the most frequent failing element.
What is the reliability agent?
It is an agent you open on a component. It analyses the remedies already applied to its failures and their convergences, then proposes concrete actions to reduce or remove the downtime tied to that component. You keep the decision on which actions to carry out.
How is this different from my CMMS history?
The CMMS keeps every intervention line by line. Recurrence analysis draws out the pattern: which failures weigh most, grouped by cause, tracked over time, with targeted reliability actions as output.
