Pilot Program

End unplanned downtime — on one line, in 14 days.

A 14-day ProactiveIQ pilot installs our edge sensors on a real production line, watches every reading, and surfaces anomalies your existing system would have missed. It's the fastest way for plant operators and service providers to see what predictive maintenance actually does on their equipment — no rip-and-replace, no multi-quarter commitment.

The problem

Unplanned downtime is the most expensive line item on your P&L.

Most plants find out something is wrong the same way they did in 1995 — when it stops. Vibration drifts, temperature creeps, a seal quietly starts leaking — and the first person to notice is the operator standing next to it, when the line is already halting. The pilot exists so you can find out three weeks earlier.

Who the pilot is for

A 14-day pilot built for two kinds of plant leaders.

The pilot program runs two parallel tracks — one for operators who own the line, and one for service organisations who run analytics for a fleet.

Plant operators

You run the line — let us run the pilot.

Maintenance and reliability leads at chemical, food-and-beverage, pulp-and-paper, and discrete plants who want a low-commitment way to see what predictive maintenance does on their specific equipment, not on a canned demo deck.

  • Sensor install during your planned downtime window — no extra shift.
  • Read-only pilot: nothing changes in your existing DCS / PLC stack.
  • 14-day readout with the failures we caught, ranked by cost-avoidance.
Industrial service providers

Bring a sharper offering to the plants you already serve.

Condition-monitoring vendors, system integrators, and OEM service organisations who want to embed ProactiveIQ analytics under their own brand on fleets of plants — running a single pilot is the right way to evaluate the integration depth and the unit economics.

  • White-labeled anomaly alerts to your existing customer dashboards.
  • Co-branded readout — your team presents the findings, we present the model.
  • Clear path to a multi-plant rollout pricing model after the pilot.

Multi-line or multi-site fleets — talk to us about a parallel pilot track.

How the pilot runs

Three steps. No procurement committee.

The pilot is designed to fit inside a single maintenance-planning quarter — no multi-stakeholder rollout, no PLC replacement.

  1. A 30-minute scoping call

    We walk through one line, the equipment you care most about, and the failure modes that hurt the most — then agree on a sensor list and a pilot window.

  2. Sensor install on one line

    A ProactiveIQ engineer comes on site, mounts vibration, temperature, and acoustic sensors on the agreed assets, and verifies the data flow during the first shift.

  3. 14 days of live anomaly detection

    Our models watch every reading in real time and surface anomalies on a dashboard the maintenance lead sees daily. At day 14 we walk through what was caught and decide together on a long-term path.
