THE PILOT ROADMAP
FROM FIRST SENSOR TO PROVEN ROI — IN 12 WEEKS
A structured, low-risk pilot that delivers measurable results before you commit to full deployment. We work with your existing infrastructure — no rip and replace.
WEEKS 1–2
2 wks
To first live data
DISCOVERY & SCOPING
We map your plant structure, identify 10–20 critical assets, and agree on the right POC scope — Predictive Maintenance, Production Optimization, or both.
- Asset hierarchy mapped to your plant structure
- Sensor connectivity assessed — existing infrastructure used where possible
- KPIs agreed upfront: OEE, downtime, throughput, or quality
- Data access confirmed: SCADA, PLC, historians, MES
WEEKS 2–4
Days
To connect first assets
CONNECT & CONFIGURE
We connect your assets to the IndustrAI platform — hardware agnostic, no rip and replace. Data starts flowing within days, not months.
- Sensors, PLCs, SCADA and historians connected via our edge layer
- Asset hierarchy built in the platform — mirrors your plant
- Data normalization and contextualization applied
- ML models trained on live data from your machines — no history needed
WEEKS 4–10
Weekly
Validation sessions with your team
PREDICT & VALIDATE
Models run live. The platform begins identifying anomalies, predicting failures, and surfacing production bottlenecks. Every alert is validated with your team to build trust in the outputs.
- ML models flagging condition changes early enough to plan the repair
- Root-cause context provided — not just alarm noise
- Production bottleneck analysis and what-if simulations
- IndustrAI Companion deployed for your teams (optional)
- Weekly validation sessions with your operations team

MEASURE & DECIDE
We build your ROI case together — quantifying downtime avoided, throughput gained, and maintenance costs reduced. You have everything you need to present internally and decide on full deployment.
- Full ROI report: downtime avoided, cost savings, throughput gains
- Comparison against your pre-POC KPI baseline
- Expansion roadmap: which assets and sites to scale next
- Deployment choice: SaaS or managed deployment — the pilot environment carries over
- Internal business case pack — ready for board or budget approval
