From Costly Failures to Intelligent Operations
Unplanned downtime isn't just an inconvenience; it's a direct hit to your bottom line, causing production halts, missed deadlines, and spiraling repair costs. Traditional maintenance is a guessing game. You're either fixing things that aren't broken or reacting to catastrophic failures. It's time for a smarter approach. We build intelligent platforms that listen to your equipment, understand its health in real-time, and tell you exactly what needs attention, and when.

Success Stories: Predictive Maintenance in Action
We deliver real-world results that impact the bottom line. Explore how we've helped industry leaders transform their maintenance operations.
Reducing Assembly Line Downtime for a Tier-1 Auto Supplier
Client Overview: A major automotive components manufacturer was plagued by frequent, unpredicted failures in their robotic welding arms and CNC machines. Each hour of downtime on their primary assembly line cost them over $100,000 in lost production, jeopardizing delivery schedules with major OEMs.
"CIS didn't just sell us software; they became our strategic partner. Their platform has given us unprecedented visibility into our equipment health. We're no longer reacting to failures; we're preventing them. The impact on our OEE and profitability has been transformative."
- Michael Harper, VP of Operations, Automotive Parts Inc.
Our Solution: We deployed a comprehensive PdM platform, integrating vibration and thermal sensors on critical robotic arms and CNC spindles. Our AI models were trained on 24 months of historical data to identify unique failure signatures. The platform was integrated with their SAP Plant Maintenance module to automatically trigger maintenance orders 7-10 days before a predicted failure.
Preventing Catastrophic Failures at a Wind Energy Farm
Client Overview: A renewable energy provider operating a large wind farm faced enormous costs and logistical challenges when critical components like turbine gearboxes and generators failed. Reactive maintenance was extremely expensive due to crane rentals and specialized labor, and asset failure posed significant safety risks.
"The ability to predict a gearbox failure three weeks in advance is a game-changer. CIS's platform allows us to schedule maintenance during low-wind periods, minimizing revenue loss and dramatically improving the safety and efficiency of our operations."
- Jenna Clay, Plant Manager, Clean Power Generation
Our Solution: We developed a centralized monitoring platform that ingested data from existing SCADA systems and newly installed high-frequency vibration sensors on the turbine nacelles. Our machine learning models were specifically trained to detect early signs of bearing wear and gear tooth damage. The platform provided a Remaining Useful Life (RUL) estimate for each critical component, allowing the client to shift from costly reactive repairs to planned, proactive component replacements.
Optimizing Fleet Maintenance for a National Logistics Company
Client Overview: A logistics company with a fleet of over 5,000 long-haul trucks struggled with unpredictable vehicle breakdowns, leading to delivery delays, customer dissatisfaction, and high roadside repair costs. Their preventive maintenance schedule was inefficient, often replacing parts that still had significant useful life remaining.
"We now have a data-driven maintenance strategy for our entire fleet. The CIS platform tells us which trucks need attention and why, based on actual usage and component health, not just mileage. Our fleet availability has never been higher."
- Carter Fleming, Director of Fleet Operations, HaulRight Logistics
Our Solution: We built a custom IoT and AI platform that ingested telematics data (engine temperature, oil pressure, fault codes) directly from the trucks' onboard diagnostics (OBD-II) ports. This data was combined with vehicle type, age, and route history. Our AI models learned to predict failures in key systems like engines, transmissions, and brakes. The platform generated a daily "health score" for each vehicle, allowing maintenance depots to prioritize service and schedule repairs proactively.

The Maintenance Evolution: Where Do You Stand?
Understand the critical differences between maintenance strategies. Moving up the maturity curve from reactive to predictive unlocks exponential value in efficiency, cost savings, and operational stability.
| Feature | Reactive Maintenance (Run-to-Failure) | Preventive Maintenance (Time-Based) | Predictive Maintenance (Condition-Based) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strategy | Fix it after it breaks. | Perform maintenance on a fixed schedule. | Perform maintenance when data indicates a failure is imminent. |
| Downtime | High and unplanned. | Reduced, but still occurs; planned downtime for servicing. | Minimized; mostly planned, short-duration downtime. |
| Maintenance Costs | Very high (emergency labor, expedited parts). | Moderate (can replace parts with remaining life). | Optimized (just-in-time parts and labor). |
| Asset Lifespan | Shortened due to catastrophic failures. | Can be extended, but not optimally. | Maximized by addressing issues before they cause major damage. |
| Data Usage | None. | Static OEM recommendations and historical averages. | Real-time IoT sensor data and AI/ML analysis. |
| Decision Making | Failure dictates action. | Calendar dictates action. | Data dictates action. |
Frequently Asked Questions
A predictive maintenance (PdM) platform is a sophisticated software solution that uses data from IoT sensors, operational history, and other sources, combined with AI and machine learning algorithms, to predict when a piece of equipment is likely to fail. This allows businesses to perform maintenance proactively, just before a failure occurs, rather than on a fixed schedule (preventive) or after a breakdown (reactive).
Our platform is built on a flexible, API-first architecture. We have extensive experience creating custom connectors and utilizing standard protocols (like OPC-UA, MQTT) to seamlessly integrate with your existing enterprise systems. This ensures a unified data flow, allowing our AI models to access historical maintenance records from your CMMS and operational data from SCADA, while pushing automated work orders back into your ERP or CMMS.
Absolutely. Our service is designed as a 'Managed AI' solution. You don't need an in-house data science team. Our experts handle the model development, training, and ongoing optimization. The platform delivers clear, actionable insights—like 'Component X on Machine Y has an 85% probability of failure in the next 150 operating hours'—through intuitive dashboards designed for maintenance managers and operations teams.
While ROI varies by industry and asset criticality, our clients typically achieve a 25-30% reduction in overall maintenance costs, a 70-75% decrease in unexpected breakdowns, and a 35-45% reduction in costly unplanned downtime within the first 12-18 months of implementation. We can build a detailed ROI projection based on your specific operational data during our initial assessment.
Security is paramount. We are a SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified organization. Our platform employs a multi-layered security framework, including end-to-end data encryption, secure edge gateways to isolate your operational technology (OT) network, role-based access control (RBAC), and continuous threat monitoring. We adhere to a zero-trust architecture to ensure your data is protected both in transit and at rest.
