SentinelIQ: Predictive Maintenance & Floor Safety

Ironbridge Industrial Group was losing production days to equipment failures nobody saw coming, and running machinery reactively meant safety risk went up right alongside downtime. We built SentinelIQ, an IoT sensor network paired with a predictive-maintenance model that flags failing equipment and unsafe floor conditions before either becomes an incident.

The problem this solves for society

Unplanned factory downtime is a business cost, but the human cost runs deeper: worn or malfunctioning equipment that goes undetected until it fails is one of the leading causes of workplace injury on a factory floor. Reactive maintenance means machines are often run past the point where they should have been serviced, because nobody had visibility into their real condition. Catching that decay early isn't just about protecting output — it's about protecting the people standing next to the machine.

The challenge of the project

Ironbridge's maintenance logs were siloed by machine and mostly reactive — a technician found a problem after it already caused a stoppage. There was no unified view across the floor, no early-warning system for equipment stress, and no automated way to flag dangerous heat, vibration, or gas readings before they became a safety event.

  • IoT sensors on critical machinery feeding a predictive-failure model

  • Real-time floor safety alerts for anomalous heat, vibration, and gas readings

  • One unified dashboard replacing siloed, machine-by-machine maintenance logs

  • Automated maintenance scheduling based on actual equipment condition, not fixed intervals

The result of the project

Unplanned downtime dropped 47%, and mean time to detect an equipment anomaly went from around nine days to under six hours. Maintenance costs fell 24% once servicing followed real equipment condition instead of a fixed calendar. Most importantly, the plant recorded zero major safety incidents in the fourteen months after launch, down from roughly three a year beforehand.

Before SentinelIQ

~9 days to detect a fault

With SentinelIQ

Under 6 hours to detect

Why choose this solution

Predictive maintenance only earns its keep if it prevents real failures, not just logs more data. Here's what makes SentinelIQ worth the investment.

  • Prevents costly unplanned downtime and extends the working life of expensive equipment

  • Directly reduces workplace injury risk and the compliance liability that comes with it

  • Replaces siloed machine logs with one dashboard plant managers actually use daily

  • Typically pays for itself within months through avoided downtime alone
