Plant Operations

Predict failures, not just schedule maintenance.

PredCo fuses vibration, thermal, acoustic, current, and operational data into per-asset remaining useful life models. Move from time-based PMs to condition-based intervention: without overbuilding sensor infrastructure.

Calendar-based maintenance is a 1990s defence against a 2020s asset base.

Time-based PMs over-service healthy equipment and miss failures on the assets that actually need attention.

01
Time-based PMs miss real failures
Bearings, seals, and couplings fail to a duty cycle, not a calendar. Time-based PMs are the wrong defence.
02
Walkthrough data is sampled
Monthly vibration rounds with hand-held meters catch some, not most, degradation patterns.
03
CMMS is a record-keeper, not a brain
Your CMMS tells you what was done. It can't tell you what to do next.
04
Sensor projects keep stalling
Adding hundreds of new sensors is expensive. Most companies abandon the project before payback.

Listen, learn, predict, intervene.

Stage 01 of 04

Use available signals first

Start with what you have: MCC current draw, SCADA, existing vibration mounts. Add new sensors only where ROI demands.

Reliability that pays back in the first fiscal year.

Vibration + thermal fusion
Multi-modal signature: vibration, thermal, MCSA, oil debris. Better signal than any single channel.
Remaining useful life (RUL)
Asset-specific RUL forecasts. Plan parts, labor, and downtime windows weeks ahead.
Failure-mode classification
Bearing, imbalance, misalignment, looseness, cavitation: root-cause hints with every alert.
CMMS round-trip
EAM / CMMS work order creation, completion, and feedback: closing the loop on what worked.
Critical-asset coverage
Coverage matrix shows which critical assets are monitored, partially monitored, or blind.
Edge inference
Models run at the line. No streaming raw vibration data to cloud.
Works with your CMMS: not against it.

PredCo respects the work-order discipline your maintenance team already runs on. Predictions land as ranked work orders inside the systems they use.

  • SAP PM, IBM Maximo, Infor EAM, Fiix
  • OPC-UA, Modbus TCP, MQTT for live signals
  • Wireless vibration: Petasense, Erbessd, Augury bridges
  • Edge GPU appliance per plant
  • Air-gap deployment supported
