Robometic

Concepts

Three concepts and one exploration for the machines you already own.

Each concept tests a different reason a manufacturer might buy: understanding a machine, reducing unplanned stoppages, verifying the value of maintenance spending, or getting better diagnostic evidence. We are finding out which matters most before deciding where to invest.

Concept descriptions, not assertions that Robometic has four deployable products. Scope, availability and pricing are confirmed per engagement after a discovery conversation.

Concept01First step

Under exploration

Machine Health Snapshot

What if you could give your most important machines a health check?

Explore how a short period of machine observation could reveal unusual vibration, sound or operating patterns that conventional inspections may overlook. Sensors are fitted to a small number of machines for a defined period, the machine's usual behaviour is recorded across its operating states, and the result is written up in the vibration units and language your maintenance team already uses.

The Snapshot is designed as a first step. It tells you how the machine behaves across its operating states, whether that behaviour changed during the period, and where to look first. Levels are reported in mm/s RMS, the unit on your contractor's severity charts, so your team can place them against the limits they already apply.

Customer value
A written picture of how a machine behaves and whether it is changing, before deciding on repair, replacement or ongoing monitoring.
Scale
Up to five machines, ten to thirty days. Sensing points fitted and removed by Robometic. No connection to your control system is needed.
Typical equipment
Motors, pumps, fans, blowers, compressors and gearbox-driven conveyors. Rotating equipment first.
What you would receive
A one-page Machine Health Report per machine: measurement period, normal versus unusual behaviour, observations and operating conditions, open questions and suggested next steps. See the sample report.
What we want to learn
Whether a short, structured diagnostic is worth paying for.

Concept02Ongoing

Under exploration

Machine Health Watch

What if your critical machines could alert you when their behaviour changes?

Explore ongoing monitoring that learns a machine's behaviour and brings unusual patterns to the maintenance team's attention. A small number of permanent sensing points stay on the machines that justified them after a Snapshot. When behaviour moves outside the learned pattern, an amber notice reaches the team with the evidence that triggered it, and a person looks at it before anyone is asked to act.

The Watch is not an alarm system and does not replace the machine's own protection. It is an additional layer of visibility between routine inspections and the trip.

Customer value
An additional layer of visibility between routine inspections and machine alarms.
How it would be judged
Useful and false notices as labelled by your own team, counted per machine per week. Missed events and warning time before a stop, once monitoring has run long enough for them to occur. Agreed before the pilot and reported after it.
Starting point
Only where a Snapshot shows that ongoing monitoring makes operational and commercial sense.
What we want to learn
Whether ongoing monitoring with human review is worth paying for.

Concept03After a repair or upgrade

Under evaluation

Performance Verification

You repaired or upgraded a machine. Can you show that its condition actually improved?

Explore before-and-after measurement following maintenance, component replacement or equipment upgrades. The same sensing points, the same measurement period and the same operating states before the work and after it, so that the comparison is fair. Where possible, an unmodified similar machine is measured alongside as a control.

The result is objective evidence to support maintenance, capital investment and supplier decisions. We have not found a service that offers this as a standard product, which is why it has its own place here.

Customer value
Objective evidence to support maintenance, capital investment and supplier decisions.
Who might buy it
Manufacturers checking a contractor's work, OEMs and service companies who want to show that an upgrade performed, and plants deciding whether to repeat a spend.
What we want to learn
Whether OEMs, service companies or manufacturers would buy independent verification.

Concept04Future exploration

Future exploration

Intelligent Inspection Rounds

What if one inspection could capture a much richer picture of machine health?

Investigate portable, multi-sensor inspections that gather more information during a defined observation period, without instrumenting the entire factory permanently. The difference from a Snapshot: more sensing points on one troublesome or high-value machine for a shorter time, brought in for the inspection and taken away again.

This is an exploration, not an offer. It would only be developed if the first two concepts show there is demand for deeper diagnostic evidence.

Customer value
More detailed assessment of troublesome or high-value equipment.
What we want to learn
Whether there is demand for a portable, equipment-focused diagnostic service.

How an engagement could work

Start small, measure, then decide.

The indicative sequence below applies to the first two concepts. Every step is confirmed with you, and nothing is installed before the scope is agreed in writing.

  1. Discovery conversation

    Which machines, what concerns you, how you monitor them today.

  2. Site walk and scope

    Access, mounting, safety, operating states and what a useful result would be.

  3. Measurement period

    Sensing points fitted for the agreed period and removed afterwards. Your team labels what the system flags.

  4. Review together

    Findings walked through with your maintenance people, in their units and words.

  5. Decision

    Continue, extend to other machines, or stop. The report is yours either way.

What we share here

The problem we are exploring, the possible benefits, how a pilot might work and what you would receive. After a discovery conversation: an example report, relevant machine types, practical installation considerations, a preliminary scope and what would count as a useful result.

What is settled before installation

Data handling, responsibilities and what counts as a useful result are written into the pilot agreement: your machine data stays yours, it is used to produce your report, and sound sensing keeps summary measurements rather than recordings where people may be speaking. Sensor choice, mounting and the method underneath are discussed with committed pilot partners, not published here.
