Stop breakdowns before they happen

Asset Management & Predictive Maintenance

We build your asset register, set up a proper maintenance program, and fit affordable sensors (IoT) to your critical gear so it tells us when something's starting to go wrong, weeks before it fails. Fewer breakdowns, fewer manual inspections, fewer 2am phone calls.

What this typically involves

  • Building or cleaning up your asset register
  • Setting up a practical maintenance program around it
  • Fitting affordable condition-monitoring sensors to critical equipment
Predictive maintenance can reduce equipment downtime by up to 50% and lower maintenance costs by 25–30%.

Common use cases

Where this typically comes up

1

Stuck in "fix it when it breaks" mode

Maintenance only happens after something fails, which means every fault is an emergency and every emergency is expensive. A proper asset register and condition monitoring turns surprises into scheduled work.

Despite the cost of downtime, 24% of Australian industrial operations still run their gear until it fails rather than maintaining it proactively.

2

Insurance or risk review asking hard questions

An insurer or risk assessor wants evidence of a documented asset register and a working maintenance program, and right now that evidence doesn't really exist in a usable form.

3

An ageing fleet with no early warning

Equipment is getting older across the site, but nobody has visibility into which asset is actually closest to failing next. Condition monitoring turns that guesswork into a prioritised list.

Example scenario

the pump that didn't stop production

A food processor's critical pump had failed twice in two years, each time stopping the line for the best part of a day. With downtime costing Australian industrial businesses an average of $349K an hour, even a short stoppage hurts. We fitted condition-monitoring sensors for a few thousand dollars. Three months in, the vibration data flagged a failing bearing. The fix was done on a scheduled weekend: a $900 repair instead of a six-figure line stoppage. The sensors also replaced weekly walk-around inspections, freeing up roughly 10 man-hours a week.
