Protecting critical infrastructure in every industry

PRECOG predicts the failure of any complex machine driven by an electric motor, to prevent downtime and unplanned maintenance and to ensure business continuity. It can build on existing measurement infrastructure and provides its own sensors where needed.

Strategic value

What operators and stakeholders gain

Risk mitigation

PRECOG reduces the risk of sudden, costly breakdowns by finding problems before they escalate.

Operational efficiency

Predictive insight supports data-driven decisions, reduces emergency repair costs and improves the lifetime of the assets.

Brand protection

Reliable infrastructure helps to uphold the standards that customers and guests expect.

Sustainability and ESG

Early fault detection leads to more efficient energy use and less waste, which supports sustainability targets and reduces the environmental impact.

Hotels and buildings

PRECOG for hotels, offices, hospitals and shopping centres

PRECOG ensures continuous building operation by predicting failures about two weeks in advance for the critical motors of the whole infrastructure.

Critical motors

  • Elevators and escalators
  • Water pumps
  • Heating and ventilation systems
  • Air conditioning systems
  • Fire pumps
  • Sewage and drainage pumps
  • Backup generators

Critical motors are essential for safety, infrastructure and uninterrupted operation.

The quality of a hotel is often judged by its design, service and comfort, yet much of its function runs silently behind the scenes, powered by critical motors. They operate everything from air conditioning to elevators and from water supply to wastewater systems. Counting the critical motors is the starting point for working out how many measuring devices a building needs.

See the hotel project, where chilled water pumps are monitored.

Critical building infrastructure

Pumps, air conditioning, refrigeration and lifts

PRECOG ensures continuous operation by predicting failures about two weeks in advance for high-power water and air pumps, AC units, refrigeration units, elevators and escalators, and any other equipment driven by an electric motor.

Elevators and escalators

Driven by electric motors, so PRECOG can follow their behaviour and warn the maintenance staff in time.

Pumping systems

High-power water and air pumps, including the pumps of cooling and heating systems.

Building and facility systems

Air conditioning, ventilation, refrigeration and heating, with one monitoring approach for the whole technical infrastructure of a building.

Railways and public transport

Turnouts, point machines and doors

periodic motion analysis show how it works in practice.

Manufacturing

Robots, conveyors, paint lines and presses

PRECOG ensures continuous operation by predicting failures about two weeks in advance for welding robots, paint line infrastructure, conveyor belts, press machines and any other equipment driven by an electric motor. It works with industrial production lines and robots, and with the equipment that serves them.

See the manufacturing project, where a winding machine is monitored.

Data centres and telecoms

Cooling, power and IT indicators

Mechanical systems

The cooling and air handling equipment behind the IT infrastructure is driven by electric motors, so PRECOG can monitor it.

IT and network indicators

  • Network, operations and failure KPIs predicted before an outage
  • Hardware reliability, for example through physical clock signals on circuit boards

See the telecommunication case study.

Airports and logistics

Passenger transport, baggage handling and building services

Airports run on motor-driven equipment: elevators, escalators and moving walkways, baggage handling, doors and gates, and the ventilation and air conditioning of the buildings. PRECOG can monitor any of it. The same approach applies to logistics centres.

See the airport project, where district heating pumps and an air handling unit are monitored.

Energy, water and process industries

Pumps, compressors, fans and process equipment

In the oil and energy industry, PRECOG can monitor the pumps, compressors and fans of process plants and of electricity grid substations, and any other equipment driven by an electric motor.

See the oil industry project, a pump survey for a pilot.
