The Challenge

Unplanned downtime was the single largest source of margin erosion, with maintenance largely calendar-based and reactive.

  • 1Significant production losses from unplanned equipment failures
  • 2Over-maintenance of healthy assets and under-maintenance of degrading ones
  • 3Limited cross-plant visibility for benchmarking and best-practice sharing

Our Solution

CloudGate built a smart factory platform combining IoT, digital twins, and ML-driven predictive maintenance across all plants.

  • Sensor-based monitoring of critical production equipment
  • Digital twins of assets for failure mode modeling
  • Automated work order generation in CMMS
