How It Works | Presage

The Problem

Downtime is costing you

Most manufacturers still operate in a reactive mode - waiting for equipment to break before fixing it. This costs emergency repairs, lost competitive advantage, and might cause a hazardous situation. Planned preventive maintenance is better, but it replaces components too early or too late based on fixed schedules, not actual condition and therefore it is costly.

Presage uses your existing sensor data to surface early indicators of potential failure - changes in vibration, temperature, current draw, and dozens of other sensor readings that have been observed to precede breakdown - sometimes by weeks - not hours.

Deployment

From Data to Insights in Four Steps

Connect Your Data

Presage connects to your existing historians, SCADA systems, PLCs, and sensor networks. No new hardware. No rip-and-replace. If you have no sensors or data infrastructure then we set it up for you.

Monitors From Day One

Presage watches your equipment under different loads, speeds, and conditions and over time improves and builds on your human expertise - for each machine.

Detects Issues

When a reading starts drifting from normal, Presage flags it early on - ranked by urgency, with context on which machine and which part to check. Long before anything breaks. Prevents known and unknown faults.

Plan Maintenance

Work orders are generated automatically in the built-in CMMS. Your team acts on precise, prioritised information - no more calendar-based guesswork.

Under the Hood

Watches all your machines at once

Industrial equipment tells a story through hundreds of readings simultaneously. Presage monitors all of them together - not just one at a time - to detect the early patterns that have been observed to precede failure.

Monitors hundreds of readings at once

Configured specifically for your equipment's actual behaviour

Estimates how long before each machine needs attention

Tells you exactly which part is causing the problem

Gets smarter over time as your team gives it feedback

Connectivity

Connects to What You Already Have

OPC-UA

Native OPC-UA client support for direct integration with PLCs, DCS, and SCADA systems from any vendor - no middleware required.

MQTT

Lightweight MQTT broker integration for high-frequency sensor streams and edge devices, including IIoT gateways and embedded controllers.

Apache Kafka

High-throughput streaming via Kafka for operations generating large volumes of time-series data across multiple production lines simultaneously.

REST APIs

Standard REST endpoints for connecting to any modern data source, historian, or custom application - including cloud-based platforms.

ERP Systems

Bi-directional integration with SAP, Oracle, and other ERP platforms - automatically pushing work orders and maintenance records into your existing workflows.

Your Data Stays On-Site

Presage can be deployed fully on-premises or in your private cloud. Your operational data never leaves your network - no exceptions. Unlike most AI and GenAI based applications, you never have to worry about losing your IP and data.

Asset Coverage

What Presage Monitors

Any and all machines, but below are few examples

Conveyors & Overhead Conveyors

Belt tracking, bearing health, motor performance, chain stretch, trolley bearings. Customers have reported up to 75% fewer unplanned stops.

Motors

Bearing health, winding insulation, rotor condition, electrical faults. Issues have typically been surfaced 4+ weeks ahead of failure.

Bearings

Vibration, lubrication, temperature and contamination - monitored continuously. Among the highest-impact assets our customers have addressed.

Pumps

All pump types. Catches signs of wear, loss of flow efficiency, and seal degradation before they cause unplanned stops.

Compressors

All compressor types. Monitors for valve wear, temperature rise, and pressure changes that typically point to trouble ahead.

Custom Assets

If it has sensors, we can model it. Our team works with you to define the right sensors and failure modes.

Beyond Predictive Maintenance

Process Monitoring, Quality Control & Compliance

Presage is not limited to catching equipment failures. The same insight that detects a bearing fault can also be applied to process stability, product quality, and regulatory compliance.

Process monitoring - detect drift in temperature, pressure, flow, or chemistry before it affects yield or product quality

Quality control - correlate process conditions with product outcomes to identify root causes of non-conformance

Compliance documentation - structured, timestamped records of equipment condition and maintenance actions for audits and regulatory requirements

All data remains on your infrastructure - nothing is transmitted externally without your explicit configuration

Institutional Knowledge

Capture What Your Most Experienced Engineers Know

When a maintenance engineer with 30 years of experience retires, they take with them an irreplaceable understanding of how your equipment behaves - the subtle sounds, the readings that precede trouble, the shortcuts that save hours.

Presage is designed to capture that knowledge. Experienced engineers can annotate anomalies, record failure histories, and document the diagnostic reasoning behind each intervention. That knowledge becomes part of the model - available to every new technician from day one and to every technician at other facilities of your company.

From expert to system

Experienced engineers annotate sensor readings and document failure patterns directly in the platform, building a structured knowledge base from decades of field experience.

From system to trainee

New technicians receive alerts with context - not just "something is wrong" but what has happened before, what was done, and what to check first.

Living, improving record

Every resolved incident enriches the knowledge base. The system gets more useful as more engineers contribute - and it never forgets.

Our Principles

How We Think About Predictive Maintenance

No Disruptions

You already have sensors? We work with what you have. No sensors? We will source them, and find the least disruptive way to intergrate them in your operations.

Early Enough to Actually Plan

Finding a problem well in time is crucial, anomaly detection in real time is fine but we predict the future like nobody else. Presage is designed to give you time to act, not just time to react.

Context, Not Just Alerts

Every anomaly comes with context: which asset, which subsystem, and recommended action. No alarm fatigue.

Fast Time to Value

Deployment in under 14 days. First anomalies detected from day one. ROI typically visible within 90 days.

Your Data Never Leaves Your Site

Presage runs on your infrastructure. Operational data stays within your network - whether deployed on-premises or in your private cloud. No exceptions.

Technology Amplifies People, Not Replaces Them

The best maintenance outcomes come from combining AI pattern recognition with the judgement of experienced engineers. Presage is designed to make your team more effective, not to sideline them.

Human In The Loop

For Safety cricitcal indsutry and for regulatory compliance, our software brings the human in the loop at the right junction.
