Beyond the OEM Manual: A Self-Correcting AI for Real-World RUL

An OEM manual says your motor lasts 13 years. But has it had an easy life or a hard one? This report details a modern, self-correcting AI strategy that doesn't need the full history. Discover how a hybrid model uses live sensor data to uncover an asset's true health and deliver a RUL forecast that adapts to the real world.

AI-Driven Anomaly Detection for AHU Supply Airflow

We taught an AI model to understand the 'healthy' behavior of an Air Handling Unit (AHU) by predicting its normal airflow. The project was a success, developing an XGBoost model with over 96% accuracy, establishing a strong foundation for predictive maintenance by enabling earlier and more reliable fault detection.

From an Avalanche of Alerts to a Dialogue of Diagnosis: The C101 Compressor Story

We analyzed over 242,000 sensor records from a critical compressor, transforming a constant stream of noisy alerts into a clear, diagnostic language. This is the story of how we used machine learning to discover the hidden 'fingerprints' of inefficiency and failure, creating a data-driven roadmap to proactive maintenance and quantifiable business impact.

Your Data Is Talking. Here’s How to Listen.

We were handed a raw sensor dataset and a simple question: 'Can you do something with this?' In less time than a coffee break, we transformed that noisy data into a library of actionable 'Anomaly Fingerprints' that can predict failures before they happen. Here’s the step-by-step story.
