Real-World Results in Predictive Maintenance
We don't just talk about theory. We deliver measurable improvements to our clients' bottom line. Explore how we've transformed maintenance operations for industry leaders.
Preventing Assembly Line Stoppages for a Tier-1 Auto Supplier
Client Overview: A leading global automotive parts manufacturer with multiple plants supplying just-in-time components to major OEMs. Their primary challenge was unplanned downtime on their CNC machining and robotic welding lines, which caused cascading delays across the entire production schedule, leading to significant financial penalties.
The Problem: The client's maintenance strategy was purely reactive. Failures in critical components like spindles on CNC machines and servo motors on robotic arms were unpredictable. A single line stoppage could halt production for hours, costing them upwards of $50,000 per hour and jeopardizing their contracts with automotive giants.
Key Challenges:
- High-volume, high-variety data from thousands of sensors across different machine types.
- Lack of a centralized system to analyze sensor data in real-time.
- Inability to distinguish between normal operational wear and indicators of imminent failure.
- Maintenance teams were overwhelmed with reactive "firefighting."
Our Solution:
We implemented a multi-stage AI predictive maintenance solution focused on their most critical production lines.
- Data Aggregation: Deployed a centralized data pipeline to ingest and standardize real-time data from PLCs, vibration sensors, and temperature sensors.
- Anomaly Detection: Developed unsupervised learning models to establish a baseline of normal machine behavior and flag any significant deviations in real-time.
- Failure Prediction Models: Using historical maintenance logs, we trained supervised models to recognize the specific data signatures preceding common failures, providing a 7-14 day warning window.
- Actionable Dashboard: Created a user-friendly dashboard for plant managers and maintenance crews, visualizing asset health, RUL estimates, and prioritized maintenance alerts.
Client Testimonial

Positive Outcomes:
Improving Grid Reliability for a Regional Power Utility
Client Overview: A regional energy provider responsible for generating and distributing electricity to over 2 million customers. Their infrastructure included aging transformers, circuit breakers, and turbines, where failure could lead to widespread outages and regulatory fines.
The Problem: The utility relied on time-based and periodic inspections for their critical grid assets. This approach was inefficient and failed to catch developing faults, leading to several costly and reputation-damaging blackouts caused by unexpected equipment failure, particularly in substation transformers.
Key Challenges:
- Geographically dispersed assets made physical inspections costly and infrequent.
- Analyzing complex data like dissolved gas analysis (DGA) for transformers was a manual, expert-driven process.
- Environmental factors (temperature, humidity) significantly impacted asset health but were not systematically analyzed.
- The risk of catastrophic failure posed a significant public safety and financial threat.
Our Solution:
We developed a centralized AI monitoring platform to predict failures in their most critical substation assets.
- IoT Sensor Integration: We integrated data from existing SCADA systems and new IoT sensors measuring vibration, temperature, and oil quality.
- Transformer Health AI: Built a machine learning model that continuously analyzed DGA data, loading patterns, and thermal imaging to predict transformer faults with high accuracy.
- Predictive Grid Analytics: Correlated asset health data with weather forecasts and demand predictions to identify assets at highest risk of failure during peak load times.
- Mobile Alerts: Developed a mobile alert system that pushed prioritized maintenance recommendations directly to field crews, complete with diagnostic data and suggested actions.
Client Testimonial

Positive Outcomes:
Maximizing Fleet Uptime for a National Logistics Company
Client Overview: A large logistics and freight company with a fleet of over 5,000 long-haul trucks. Their business model depends entirely on vehicle availability and on-time deliveries. Roadside breakdowns were their single largest operational cost and a major source of customer dissatisfaction.
The Problem: The company's maintenance schedule was based on mileage, which didn't account for variations in driving conditions, load weights, or individual vehicle wear. This led to both unnecessary servicing of healthy trucks and unexpected breakdowns of critical components like engines, transmissions, and braking systems.
Key Challenges:
- Massive volumes of telematics data (CAN bus) streaming from thousands of vehicles.
- Difficulty in correlating telematics data with actual component failures.
- Managing spare parts inventory across a national network of service depots was inefficient.
- A single breakdown could delay dozens of high-value shipments.
Our Solution:
We built a cloud-based predictive maintenance platform for their entire truck fleet.
- Telematics Data Platform: Engineered a scalable AWS-based platform to ingest, process, and analyze real-time telematics data from the entire fleet.
- Component-Level RUL Models: Developed specific ML models for key components (engine, transmission, brakes, tires) that predicted RUL based on fault codes, sensor readings, and operational data (e.g., average load, terrain).
- Smart Maintenance Scheduling: The platform automatically generated optimized maintenance schedules, flagging vehicles that needed service and routing them to the nearest depot with the required parts in stock.
- Inventory Optimization: The system's predictions were used to forecast spare parts demand, reducing excess inventory while preventing stockouts of critical components.
