Two ways to get the readings

Readings come from new sensors or from the plant's own records; either way, software studies them.

Box 1 fits its own sensors on the machines, which works even on old machines that record nothing. Box 3 uses the readings the plant already collects. Both feed box 2, whose software learns what normal looks like and warns before a machine fails. Box 4 sells the platforms and devices that collect the readings.

Their own sensors on the machine 2 companies

These companies fit their own sensors on the machines and predict failures from the readings.

Augury logoAuguryAugury, with engineers in Bengaluru, fits its own vibration and temperature sensors on machines and predicts failures from the readings.
Shoreline AI logoShoreline AIShoreline AI, with engineers in Pune, fits its own vibration and temperature sensors on machines and predicts failures from the readings.

The data the plant already has 2 companies

These companies use the readings a plant already collects in its control systems, rather than fitting new sensors.

Falkonry logoFalkonryFalkonry, with engineers in Mumbai, finds unusual patterns in the readings that plants already collect.

What's changing

The maintenance engineer's assistant.

Predictive maintenance often buried engineers in alerts. AI models now explain an alert, search the manuals and the plant's history, and suggest the fix. India's start-ups in this field are building such assistants.
