The $50Bn Problem

Unforeseen breakdowns in machinery have been known to cost industries billions every year – not just because of the costs involved in fixing them, but due to lost productivity, delays, accidents, and more. Traditional maintenance systems operate via a strategy of fixing upon failure, preventive servicing, and inspections. 

"PREDICTX allows industries to transition from reactive maintenance into intelligent predictive maintenance."


 PredictX is a next-gen predictive maintenance solution that offers real-time IoT sensor monitoring, AI prediction of failure, intuitive dashboards, remaining useful life estimation, and intelligent maintenance planning in a single solution.

 

$50Bn+

Global annual cost of unexpected industrial machine breakdowns-30%

Average reduction in maintenance costs when used-45%

Decrease in sudden machine failures-20%

Increase in operational efficiency-70%

The Problem

Why Traditional Maintenance is No Longer Sufficient

Despite the development of advanced technologies, the vast majority of industrial sites continue to use one of three outdated systems that have several drawbacks.


🔧Reactive Maintenance

Fix the problem after breakdowns occur. Results in expensive downtime, increased labor, and production losses.

 

📅Preventive Maintenance

Schedule regular servicing according to set timelines. Results in unnecessary part replacements and inefficient allocation of manpower.

 

👁️Inspections By Eye

Human-led visual inspection for any faults. Leads to delay in identifying anomalies and inaccurate readings.

 

📊Lack of Live Insights

Plant management lacks visibility into machine condition and health, leading to guesses rather than evidence-driven decision making.

 

PredictX Features

All That You Need For Prediction, Prevention & Planning

Collects real-time machine performance data from vibrations, temperatures, currents, pressures, sounds, and RPM levels. This data is fed into machine learning algorithms for detecting abnormal machine behavior before it leads to a total breakdown.

 

01 .Real-Time Monitoring

Live dashboard of all your machines 24/7 with continuous updates

 

02.AI-based Failure Prediction

Identifies faulty bearings, overheating engines, imbalanced shafts, lubrication, pressure loss

 

03.Remaining Useful Life Estimation

Predicts the estimated amount of working time a machine component has left

 

04.Automatic Alerts

Email, SMS and dashboard alerts when an anomaly is detected

 

05.Maintenance Planning

Allocates maintenance activities during low-production periods

 

06.History Data Analytics

Analyze recurring failure and maintenance trends
