PlantPulse

Fewer failures. Lower energy cost. Verifiable emissions.

Wireless vibration and temperature sensors on motors, fans and mills detect developing faults weeks ahead. Sub-metering shows where energy is lost. Emissions data is prepared for CBAM reporting.

Operational question

“Will this drive reach the planned shutdown?”

Constraints we address

  • An unplanned stop of a kiln, mill, crusher or fan costs a full day of output.
  • Energy is a major cost, with no visibility below the main meter.
  • Stack and fugitive dust bring inspections and complaints.
  • Exporters to the EU must report embedded carbon emissions under CBAM.
  • Cold-room and process temperatures drift unnoticed until product is lost.

Instrumentation

Modular by design.

01

Condition monitoring

Wireless sensors on rotating equipment. Automated diagnostics name the likely fault; severity zones per ISO 20816.

Triaxial vibration · Bearing temperature · Motor current · Oil condition

02

Energy and utilities

Sub-metering of electricity, gas, compressed air and water exposes peaks and losses.

Electricity sub-meter · Gas flow · Compressed-air flow · Water meter

03

Emissions for EU buyers

Stack and boundary measurements, or data from existing analysers, compiled into CBAM reports.

Stack dust · Gas analyser data · Boundary dust · Fuel and production data

04

Temperature-critical areas

Cold rooms, ovens, dryers and warehouses monitored around the clock, with power-failure and door alarms.

Temperature · Humidity · Door open · Power failure

PlantPulse delivery

Four stages. Each one stands alone.

Every stage delivers a defined output. You decide whether to proceed.

Assess

Site inspection or satellite screening. Hazard register, instrumentation plan and budget.

Commercial terms

Fixed price, 2–6 weeks. Credited against the next stage.

  • Criticality ranking of assets, with failure history
  • Energy baseline and quick-win savings
  • CBAM gap analysis with an accredited verifier partner
