AITAIT

Applied Industrial Technologies is piloting an availability-based service model across its fluid power and power transmission segments, guaranteeing equipment uptime through service contracts. The initiative shifts revenue from one-time product sales to recurring fees, aiming to enhance margins and deepen customer relationships.

1. Availability Model Launch

In February 2026, Applied Industrial Technologies introduced an availability-as-a-service pilot offering customers guaranteed uptime on fluid power and power transmission systems in exchange for recurring service fees, including scheduled maintenance and on-demand part replenishment.
