Condition Monitoring

Early warning with context — not alert spam.

The goal isn’t “more alarms.” The goal is fewer surprise breakdowns, faster troubleshooting, and a paper trail for repeat offenders.

Trending faults Repeat stops Run hours Nuisance trips Intermittent signals

Manager summary: Early warning + clear context + documented patterns. Less emergency work and fewer repeat stops.

Condition Monitoring

Stop failures before they stop production.

One subscription. Cancel anytime. Built for motors, drives, and critical assets.

Partner Subscription

  • Continuous monitoring focused on motors, drives, and critical assets
  • Trend + pattern review (repeat stops, nuisance trips, developing faults)
  • Monthly health summary with clear recommendations
  • Priority response when something looks wrong
Partner Subscription is for Multi-asset or multi-site deployments, scoped during onboarding.

Who this is for

  • Maintenance teams and contractors responsible for uptime
  • Sites where downtime costs real money (labor, scrap, missed production)
  • Critical assets: motors, VFDs, gearboxes, and process equipment
  • Teams who want early warning with context, not just alarms
  • Anyone who wants a partner—not a help desk

Not for: teams that only react after failures, want the cheapest option, or only want a dashboard without interpretation.

Real-world ROI

A single unplanned failure on a critical motor or drive can easily cost $5,000–$25,000 in lost production, labor, and expedited parts.

One avoided failure often covers months—or even a full year—of the Partner Subscription.

The goal is to catch problems early enough that you fix them on your schedule, not during a plant-down event.

What partners say

“This paid for itself the first time we caught a drive issue before it turned into a plant-down. Having someone review trends instead of just alarms made the difference.”

“We don’t have time to babysit condition data. Getting early warnings with context lets us plan fixes instead of reacting at 2 a.m.”

PLANT DOWN

Immediate response

Production is impacted now. Alerts focus on urgency, location, and first checks to restore operation fast.

  • High urgency
  • Restore operation first
  • Root-cause follow-up documented
TRENDING ISSUE

Planned fix before downtime

A developing condition or recurring pattern likely to become downtime. Plan the fix before it stops production.

  • Lower urgency, higher payoff
  • Plan parts and schedule
  • Stops repeat failures

What we monitor

  • Electric motors (current, load, thermal trends)
  • Variable Frequency Drives (fault patterns, stress indicators)
  • Gearboxes and rotating assets
  • Control system behavior (PLC I/O trends, anomalies)
  • Process indicators tied to equipment health
  • Failure patterns based on historical and real-time data

Focus is on patterns and usable context.

What alerts include

  • Asset or line affected
  • What changed versus normal operation
  • Whether it’s new, trending, or recurring
  • Details that guide the first check

If it alerts, it’s worth looking at.

What managers get

  • Fewer surprise breakdowns
  • Faster troubleshooting
  • Documentation of chronic issues
  • Justification for parts, PM time, and upgrades
  • Cleaner handoff between shifts
No giant project required

Simple rollout

Start small, prove value fast, and build momentum without boiling the ocean.

Start with your worst repeat offenders

Pick the assets that keep tripping, faulting, or eating your weekend. We’ll baseline what “normal” looks like.

  • Top nuisance stops
  • Trend the “almost downtime”
  • Capture last-known-good context

Add context to alerts

Fault + where + what changed + first checks. Not 47 generic notifications and a prayer.

  • Event + state snapshot
  • Prioritized “check this first”
  • Noise filtering (less spam)

Document patterns and fixes

Build a “next time” playbook so the fix survives shift changes and turnover.

  • Root-cause notes
  • Parts/actions that actually worked
  • Repeat stops drop over time
