We don't just talk about theory. We deliver tangible results. Explore how we've helped businesses across various industries leverage IoT to solve critical challenges and achieve significant ROI.
Predictive Maintenance for a Global Manufacturing Leader
Industry: Manufacturing
Client Overview: A Fortune 500 company specializing in heavy industrial machinery was facing significant losses due to unexpected equipment failures across their production lines. They needed a solution to move from a reactive to a proactive maintenance schedule to maximize uptime and production output.
- Aaron Welch, VP of Operations, Industrial Manufacturing Co.
Problem
The client's reliance on scheduled, time-based maintenance was inefficient. It led to either unnecessary servicing of healthy machines or catastrophic failures of equipment that broke down between scheduled checks, causing costly production halts.
Key Challenges
- Integrating sensors with a diverse range of legacy industrial machinery.
- Processing high-frequency vibration and temperature data in near real-time.
- Developing accurate machine learning models to predict failures.
- Creating an intuitive dashboard for plant managers to act on alerts.
Our Solution
We developed a comprehensive Industrial IoT (IIoT) solution that involved retrofitting machinery with wireless sensors, deploying edge gateways for local data processing, and building a scalable cloud platform on AWS.
- Designed and deployed custom sensor pods to capture vibration, temperature, and power consumption data.
