The Industrial Problem: Missed Routine Servicing & Premature Machine Wear
Factory equipment wears out rapidly when maintenance tasks like hydraulic oil changes, spindle greasing, and air filter replacements are missed due to disorganized paper clipboards and turnover in maintenance staff.
Why Traditional Monitoring Is Insufficient
Calendar-based scheduling fails because a machine running 24/7 requires servicing four times sooner than an identical standby machine, resulting in over-servicing some assets while neglecting critical workhorses.
Critical Bottlenecks Experienced in Factories:
- Pneumatic cylinder and valve failure caused by neglected moisture drain and filter servicing
- Spindle bearing burnout resulting from overdue lubrication and oil mist refills
- Loss of equipment manufacturer warranty due to lack of certified preventive maintenance records
- Production stoppages occurring midway through high-priority production orders for emergency servicing
Solution Overview: How the System Works
Our system continuously aggregates machine running hours directly from PLC status registers. When an asset approaches a 250, 500, or 1000-hour service milestone, automated notifications dispatch to maintenance crews with digital task checklists.
Industrial OT-to-IT Architecture
The architecture bridges physical automation hardware on the shop floor with plant IT networks and cloud visualization dashboards, completely removing manual logging errors.

Alarm Severity, Workflows & Multi-Tier Escalation
In alignment with industrial standards such as ISA-18.2 and EEMUA 191, alarms are categorized into configurable severity tiers to prevent operator alarm fatigue while ensuring zero missed critical events:
| Severity Level | Operational Meaning | Target Notification Channel | Target Response Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Critical | Immediate line stoppage, safety interlock trip, or fire/smoke hazard | Loud Mobile Audio, Siren, SMS, WhatsApp Call | < 2 Minutes |
| High | Thermal runaway, high vibration threshold, motor overload trip | Push Notification, SMS, Escalation to Supervisor | < 5 Minutes |
| Medium | Cycle time deviation, minor part reject spike, filter clogged | Dashboard Flashing, Mobile App Notification | < 15 Minutes |
| Low | Predictive maintenance reminder, low lubrication warning | Shift Report, Email Log, Dashboard Flag | Within Shift |
Step-by-Step Incident Lifecycle Workflow
Real-Time Web Dashboard & Management Analytics
