Getting startedSingaporeAsia Pacific

Start with the machines that matter most to your operation.

We work with selected manufacturers and engineering partners in Singapore and across Asia Pacific to apply machine health to existing equipment. Together we choose a suitable machine, define the operational problem and agree what a valuable result looks like. Each engagement has a clear technical scope, commercial terms and a defined outcome. Maintenance contractors, OEMs and technology partners have their own path below.

Start with a conversation Scope and price are agreed in writing before anything is installed.

What a pilot delivers.

  • A first picture of how each machine behaves

    Up to five machines for ten to thirty days. We record how each machine behaves in every operating state it goes through, including product changes and cleaning.

  • Changes worth investigating

    Departures from the learned pattern, flagged with the evidence that triggered them, for your team to review.

  • Findings reviewed with your maintenance people

    Every notice labelled by your own team: an equipment concern, an operating change worth knowing, or a nuisance. The labels are the result.

  • Whether further monitoring makes sense

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

A pilot is set up so that the same steps repeat on the next machine and the next site: the same site walk, the same measurement period, the same one-page report. Whether to extend is decided on the pilot's own evidence, machine by machine.

What is measured

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

  • Useful equipment notices: notices that led to an inspection or an action on the machine.
  • Useful operating notices: changes explained by load, product or operating conditions that your team still wanted to know about.
  • Nuisance notices per machine per week: work for your team with nothing useful learned. Before the pilot we agree in writing how many your team will accept, and the report says whether that number was met.
  • Missed events: relevant changes or stops with no earlier notice, where the evidence is there to say so.
  • Warning time between a notice and the event it preceded.
  • Installation effort: the time fitting and removal took, what the plant had to provide, and whether production was interrupted.

Results are reported against these measures, in your units, together with your team's own labels.

A pilot is a priced engagement with a fixed scope and a written result. The scope, the price and the measure of a useful result are agreed in writing before anything is installed.

Three ways to take part.

Not every useful conversation is with a plant. Maintenance contractors, systems integrators, OEMs and industry bodies see many machines, and may be the best route to the problems worth solving.

Path 1

I run or maintain a plant

Discuss a machine or a production reliability problem. One troublesome pump is a good place to start.

Discuss your machines

Path 2

I service, supply or integrate the machines

Maintenance contractors, systems integrators and OEMs: monitoring for your customers, joint customer projects or verification of the work you deliver.

Discuss a collaboration

Path 3

I build software or work in research

Software and AI developers who need measured machine data, and a defined technical question for research groups, testbeds and industry bodies: how reliable sensing data is on older machines, how well load changes are separated from changes in condition, whether notices help a maintenance team, and what installation costs in practice. We bring the method and the field work; you bring equipment, measurement expertise or the plants that would benefit.

Discuss a collaboration

Thirty minutes and four questions.

The discovery conversation is the first step for every path. Nothing is installed and nothing is priced until it has happened.

  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. What a useful result would be

    Which machine to start with, what outcome would justify the engagement, and a first view of the scope. No commitment on either side.

After the conversation we confirm the equipment requirements and the next steps towards a proposed scope.

Installation, safety and data, in short.

The questions plant engineering and IT ask first. Some answers are the same for every pilot. Others depend on the machine and the site, and are settled during technical scoping, before anything is fitted.

Safety and protection
Standard. Robometic does not replace safety systems, machine protection or existing critical alarms. Your plant's own alarms remain the protection. Nothing is fitted until your safety officer agrees where and how.
Fitting and permissions
Standard. Robometic fits and removes the sensing points under your permit-to-work process and contractor induction, planned with your team to keep disruption to the line as small as possible. Snapshot sensing points are temporary.
Power
Set at technical scoping. How each sensing point is powered depends on the machine and its surroundings, and is agreed machine by machine.
Connectivity
Standard: no connection to your control system. Set at technical scoping: how readings leave the machine, and whether any plant network is used at all. Where a network is involved, your IT team is part of that decision.
If a sensing point comes loose
Standard. A gap in the readings is recorded and shown in the report, and no conclusion is drawn about a period a point did not cover.
Notice review
Set in the pilot agreement. Who reviews notices before they are sent, how often, and how quickly they reach your named contact.
Data handling
Standard. Two kinds of data, kept apart. Enquiry details sent through this site are handled as the privacy notice describes, including a copy in a hosted workspace tool outside Singapore. Machine data from a pilot stays yours and is used for your report and to tune the method for your machines; where it is stored and processed, including any processing outside Singapore, is written into the pilot agreement.

Common questions

How is a pilot priced?
A Snapshot is a priced engagement with a fixed scope. After the discovery conversation and the site walk we send a written scope and a written price for the number of machines and the period. You decide then, and nothing is installed before you agree in writing.
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 monitoring is available where it suits the operational need.
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, and it is not used for a shared dataset or any other purpose unless you agree to that in writing. 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 and follows your permit-to-work process and contractor induction; in food areas, your hygiene and foreign-object rules. Labelling a notice is a short note from your contact, and how many notices a week your team will accept is agreed before the pilot. Nothing is fitted until your safety officer agrees where and how, and fitting is planned with your team so the line can keep running. 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?
Each notice is reviewed before it is sent. It then goes by email to your named contact with the evidence attached: the sensing point, the trend and what triggered the notice. Who reviews notices, and how quickly, is written into the pilot agreement. A notice is not an alarm; your plant's own alarms stay in charge. Your team records what it found, and that label goes into the report.
What does a notice tell us, and what does it not?
A notice says the machine has changed from its own learned pattern, and shows the evidence. It does not name the fault: a changed operating condition can look like early wear, and your team's inspection settles which it is. The pattern is learned during the first part of the period, so a Snapshot reports change against that pattern rather than grading the machine's condition. Useful equipment notices, useful operating notices and nuisance notices are counted in every pilot and reported whatever they show.
Where do you work?
Robometic is headquartered in Singapore and serves plants across Asia Pacific. On-site delivery and support are arranged for each project, with local engineering and maintenance partners where that serves the plant best. Tell us your country in the form.
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.
