An anonymized engagement: moving from reactive repairs to a phased predictive-maintenance approach with maintenance and operations teams in the loop.
A cement producer relied on reactive maintenance when kilns or conveyors failed. Sensor data existed but was not connected to maintenance planning. Production losses, quality variability, and rising energy use were symptoms of the same underlying issue: no shared view of equipment health and priority.
Mapped critical assets, reviewed sensor coverage and data quality, and agreed success criteria with maintenance and production leads.
Designed a limited pilot — alerts, work-order flow, and operator feedback — before scaling to additional equipment.
Connected maintenance signals to production scheduling so teams shared one operational picture.
Documented procedures and trained internal champions so the maintenance team owned the workflow after go-live.
“Having a structured roadmap before buying more software made the difference — our team knew what success looked like at each phase.”

We can start with a short discovery to map constraints and a realistic pilot scope.
