Pilot programme|Singapore

Help us explore the next generation of practical machine monitoring.

We are inviting Singapore manufacturers to discuss selected equipment challenges and evaluate whether a focused machine-health pilot would be worthwhile. Potential starting points: motors, pumps, fans, blowers and other rotating equipment.

Discuss your equipment Pilot scope and availability subject to technical feasibility and mutual agreement.

What a proposed pilot would explore

  • Establishing an initial picture of machine behaviour

    A defined observation period on a small number of machines, recording how each one usually behaves across its operating states.

  • Identifying unusual changes worth investigating

    Departures from the learned pattern, flagged with the evidence that triggered them. Intended to come before the alarm. Not a diagnosis.

  • Reviewing findings with maintenance personnel

    Every notice labelled by your own team: useful, process change, nothing found, or a real concern. The labels are the result.

  • Evaluating whether further monitoring makes sense

    Operationally and commercially. Continue, extend, or stop. The report is yours either way.

What would be measured

Before any pilot starts, we agree in writing what a useful result looks like, in your units. The usual measures:

  • Useful notices as a share of all notices, labelled by your team.
  • Missed events: unplanned stops with no earlier notice.
  • Warning time between a notice and the event it preceded.
  • False notices per machine per week.

In a short pilot the first and the last are the ones that can be counted. Missed events and warning time need longer monitoring and are reported where they occur. Whatever the numbers show, they are reported.

This is not a free trial and not a promise of a fully working deployment. It is a structured way to find out, together, whether a machine-health service would be worth paying for on your equipment.

How a discovery conversation goes

Thirty minutes and four questions.

  1. Which equipment

    The machines you are concerned about, what they do for the line and how old they are.

  2. What worries you most

    Unplanned stops, a machine that fails repeatedly, a repair you cannot verify, or a gap between inspections.

  3. How you monitor today

    Route-based readings, a contractor, permanent sensors on some machines, or alarms only.

  4. Whether a paid pilot could make sense

    Not a commitment. An honest view of whether a scoped diagnostic would be worth it if the scope were right.

After the conversation, and only if both sides want to continue, we share an example report, relevant machine types, practical installation considerations and a preliminary scope.

Singapore manufacturing AI initiatives

Where public programmes fit, and where they do not.

In October 2026 Enterprise Singapore announced an initiative to support manufacturers in advanced manufacturing who adopt approved AI applications, with the Singapore Manufacturing Federation and the Singapore Precision Engineering and Technology Association as programme partners. Predictive maintenance was named among the supported areas.

Robometic is working out how its concepts fit the needs of Singapore manufacturers, and is inviting manufacturers, industry bodies and technology partners to that conversation. Robometic is not listed as an approved vendor under that initiative, and nothing on this site should be read as a statement that it is.

Whether any public funding applies to a pilot depends on the programme rules in force, the manufacturer's own eligibility and the approvals required at the time. We will say plainly what we know and do not know when we talk, and we will not sell on a grant.

Official sources

Read the programme's own pages for eligibility and support rates. We do not restate them here because they can change.

Enquiry

Discuss your equipment.

A few questions so the first conversation is useful. Detailed questions wait for the call. We reply by email to arrange a time.

I am contacting you as
Would you consider a paid diagnostic or pilot if the scope made sense?
Which concept interests you? (choose any)
We reply by email. No newsletter, no automated follow-up.

Common questions

Is this a free trial?
No. A Snapshot is a priced service with a fixed scope: an agreed measurement period, an agreed definition of a useful result and a written report, all settled before anything is installed. Price depends on the number of machines and the period. A small number of early partners may be offered a short exploratory observation in exchange for labelled results and a reference; that is discussed case by case.
Do you install permanent equipment?
Not as a first step. Snapshot sensing points are temporary and are removed at the end of the period, unless you ask to keep them on a machine that showed something worth watching. Permanent points are only discussed where the evidence justifies them.
What happens to our machine data?
Your machine data stays yours. Robometic uses it to produce your report and to tune the method for your machines; it is not shared with other plants. Sound sensing keeps summary measurements rather than recordings where people may be speaking. Nothing connects to your control system. Data handling is written into the pilot agreement before anything is installed, and a non-disclosure agreement is available on request.
What does the plant need to provide?
Access to the machines for fitting and removal, a named maintenance contact, run and alarm logs for the period, and your site safety briefing. Robometic fits and removes the sensing points. Hazardous-area zones, cleanrooms and equipment under OEM warranty are only included where the plant and the equipment maker agree.
How does a notice reach us?
By email to your named contact, with the evidence attached: the sensing point, the trend and what triggered the notice. Your team records what it found, and that label goes into the report.
Where do you work?
Singapore plants first.
Can you work through our maintenance contractor?
Yes. A contractor or OEM who already knows your machines is often the best partner for a pilot. Choose the second path above and tell us who you work with.
Are you an approved vendor under a government programme?
No. See the section above. We will tell you what we know about public programmes and will not sell on a grant.
