Industry 4.0 advisory
A current-state assessment across plants: what is already instrumented, what the data is worth, and which use cases would actually pay back. Ends with a sequenced roadmap and a business case per use case.
Services
Industry 4.0 that survives contact with the shop floor
Advisory, industrial IoT implementation, asset and production monitoring, and the IT/OT integration that makes plant data usable in the business.
Most factory digitisation projects produce dashboards nobody on the line uses. The ones that work start from a specific loss – unplanned downtime, scrap rate, changeover time – and instrument only what is needed to attack it.
What we deliver
Industrial IoT implementation
Sensor selection and placement, edge gateways, connectivity, and the data platform behind them. Designed for plant conditions – intermittent networks, long equipment lifecycles, and no tolerance for production stoppages.
Production and asset monitoring
OEE, downtime reasons, throughput and quality visible in near real time, at the level of detail a line supervisor can act on rather than a monthly summary.
Predictive and condition-based maintenance
Moving from calendar-based servicing to condition-based, using vibration, temperature, current draw and cycle data. Started only where failure history justifies a model.
Maintenance management
Work order management, asset registers, spares and preventive maintenance schedules – integrated with monitoring so an alert becomes a work order without someone retyping it.
IT/OT convergence
Connecting plant systems to ERP and analytics without exposing control networks. Segmentation, secure data diodes where warranted, and clear ownership boundaries between plant and IT.
The failure mode we plan around
Plant engineers have seen a lot of pilots arrive and leave. The projects that stick are the ones where the people on the line get something useful in the first few weeks and are involved in defining what "useful" means.
So we sequence deliberately: one line, one loss, one measurable result – proven before anything is rolled out to a second site. It is slower to start and far cheaper than a programme that gets quietly abandoned.

Know which loss is costing you most?
If you can name the line and the problem, we can tell you what it would take to instrument it.
