Pulse — Know a failure before it happens
Fuses vibration, temperature, and throughput sensor data across every connected plant into an ML-based predictive maintenance agent — the same architecture that gave one manufacturer 18 hours of advance warning.

Pulse is in active design with early-access manufacturing partners. The savings calculator below scales a real deployment ratio from our own case study — a 3-plant IIoT rollout that predicted failures 18 hours in advance.
Reactive maintenance is the most expensive kind
Unplanned Downtime Is the Biggest Line Item No One Forecasts
A single unplanned stoppage on a production line can cost more than a full quarter of routine maintenance spend.
Maintenance Schedules Are Calendar-Based, Not Condition-Based
Most plants still service equipment on a fixed schedule regardless of actual wear — replacing healthy parts early and missing early failure signs in between.
Sensor Data Sits Unused
Vibration, temperature, and throughput sensors already exist on most modern equipment — the data is being collected but rarely turned into a prediction.
Multi-Plant Visibility Is Fragmented
Each plant runs its own local monitoring, with no unified view for a corporate reliability or operations team.
Sensor data to scheduled work order
Fuses Multi-Sensor Data Streams
Ingests vibration, temperature, throughput, and acoustic sensor data from every connected machine into a single IIoT data lake.
ML-Based Anomaly Detection
Learns the normal operating signature of each machine and flags deviations that historically precede failure — not generic threshold alarms.
Predicts Failures With Lead Time
Surfaces a predicted failure window — in our own deployment, an average of 18 hours of advance warning — giving maintenance teams time to act before a stoppage.
Auto-Generates Work Orders
Converts a predicted failure into a scheduled maintenance work order automatically, routed to the right technician and parts inventory.
Unifies Multi-Plant Visibility
One dashboard across every connected plant, so a corporate reliability team sees equipment health enterprise-wide, not site by site.

Estimate your annual savings
Scaled directly from our real 3-plant deployment ratio.
Illustrative estimate scaling our real case study rate of $73,333/plant/year (from $220K saved across 3 plants). Actual savings depend on equipment type, failure modes, and existing sensor coverage — this is a planning estimate, not a guarantee.
The case study behind this calculator
Case study: a manufacturer operating 3 plants needed to reduce unplanned equipment downtime. We deployed an IIoT data lake with ML-based anomaly detection that predicted failures about 18 hours in advance, helping the team avoid roughly $220K in annual maintenance disruption costs.

We've already wired the plant floor
We've Already Connected 3 Plants to One Data Lake
Pulse's architecture is the same IIoT data lake and anomaly-detection pipeline we built for a real multi-plant manufacturer — not a new concept, a productized version of working infrastructure.
Data Engineering Is Our Core Practice
Fusing high-volume sensor streams into a queryable, ML-ready pipeline is exactly what our data engineering team builds for clients across industries.
AI Engineering Built for Production, Not Demos
Our AI engineering practice is explicit about shipping production-grade anomaly detection with monitoring and retraining built in, not a one-off model that degrades silently.
Frequently asked questions
Pulse is in early access. The savings estimate on this page scales a real per-plant savings ratio from an actual client deployment. The full multi-plant IIoT platform is being built with our first manufacturing design partners.
In most modern plants, no — vibration, temperature, and throughput sensors are usually already present. Pulse's work is largely about connecting and modeling data that already exists, not installing new hardware.
That figure is the average lead time from our own deployment, not a universal guarantee — actual prediction windows vary by equipment type, failure mode, and how much historical data is available to train against.
A review of your current sensor coverage and historical failure data, a scoped pilot on one plant or production line, and a clear savings baseline before you commit to a wider rollout.
