What Are You Struggling With?
Are you losing sleep over unplanned downtime, ghost faults that no one can explain, or the risk of running on outdated systems? Many plants quietly run on 10 to 20 year old automation with little documentation, scattered vendor support, and a shrinking pool of engineers who know the code. The result? Costly delays, compliance risks, and constant firefighting instead of consistent production. If you’ve ever felt like your plant is running you rather than the other way around it’s time to take back control.
$50K+ downtime events
When a plant goes down, the cost isn’t measured in minutes it’s measured in tens of thousands of dollars. A single unplanned event can easily drain $50K or more in lost production, wasted labor, missed orders, and late penalties. And the most painful part? Many of these events trace back to preventable issues: obsolete hardware, ghost faults that vanish when the tech shows up, or documentation gaps that leave teams guessing. Every hour of silence on the line compounds the financial hit and it rarely stops at just one shift.
Ghost faults that vanish during service
What looks random is often instability hidden deep in the system. Every “ghost” eats hours of production time and cash while leaving no trace behind.
Vendor chaos with no accountability
When 12 different vendors touch your systems with no standards, nobody owns the problem. Finger-pointing replaces accountability, and downtime becomes inevitable.
Failed audits & compliance risk
Failed audits don’t just bring fines — they expose systemic gaps in documentation, safety, and compliance that can shut plants down overnight.
Knowledge drain when engineers leave
When your senior engineer retires, decades of tribal knowledge walk out the door. Without documentation, your plant’s playbook disappears with them.
