Sensor evidence for bearings, motors, pumps, and other assets where earlier warning can protect uptime and maintenance capacity.
Critical Asset Signals turns sensor evidence into decision windows. The work is not simply mounting sensors; it is choosing the right signal, checking signal quality, setting action bands, and connecting each alert to inspection or maintenance planning.
Explain how a trusted condition signal becomes a planning decision without assuming one sensor can solve the full reliability problem.
Visual: Wireframe rotating asset with bearing supports, sensor positions, and operating-state label.
The signal only matters when it belongs to a critical asset and a known operating state.
Visual: Vibration, temperature, current, and lubrication cards entering a signal quality gate.
Before thresholds, confirm the evidence is stable enough to compare.
Visual: Trend moves from baseline to watch band to action band with inspection and planning markers.
A good signal creates time for planned intervention, not just a louder alarm.
Visual: Maintenance work path: inspect, verify, plan, intervene, and reset baseline.
The first implementation should prove the signal-to-action loop on one asset group.
