Digital Transformation for Irish Manufacturing

Reduce downtime, optimize operations, and improve quality with predictive analytics and IoT solutions

The Challenges You're Facing

Irish manufacturers face increasing pressure to improve efficiency while managing aging equipment and rising costs.

Unplanned Downtime

Equipment failures cause costly production stoppages. Emergency repairs are expensive and disruptive. Struggling to predict when machines will fail.

Production Inefficiencies

Can't identify bottlenecks until they become critical. Production data is fragmented. No clear visibility into OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness).

Reactive Maintenance

Either over-maintaining equipment (wasting money) or under-maintaining (risking failures). No data-driven maintenance scheduling.

Quality Control Issues

Defects discovered too late in the process. Manual quality checks are slow and inconsistent. Difficulty tracing root causes of quality problems.

Supply Chain Disruptions

Can't predict raw material needs accurately. Supplier delays impact production schedules. Excess inventory ties up working capital.

Rising Operating Costs

Energy costs, labor costs, and material costs all increasing. Need to do more with less but lack data to optimize spending.

What You're Probably Using Now (And Why It Falls Short)

Scheduled Maintenance Programs

The Problem: Calendar-based maintenance doesn't account for actual equipment condition. Waste money maintaining equipment that doesn't need it, miss failures that happen between intervals.

Manual Monitoring & Logs

The Problem: Labor-intensive, prone to human error. Can't catch subtle warning signs. By the time problems are visible, it's often too late.

Basic SCADA Systems

The Problem: Collect data but don't provide predictive insights. Require manual interpretation. Limited alerting capabilities.

Spreadsheet-Based Planning

The Problem: Can't handle complexity of modern manufacturing. No integration with real-time production data. Decisions based on outdated information.

Got Questions? We've Got Answers

Common Questions from Manufacturers

Real answers from our experience working with Irish manufacturers. Don't see your question? Get in touch.

01

Can you retrofit our old equipment?

Yes. Our IoT sensors work with equipment from any decade. We've successfully deployed on machines from the 1980s through today. No need to replace functional equipment—we make what you have smarter.

02

Will this disrupt our production?

Minimal disruption. Sensor installation takes 1-3 hours per machine during scheduled maintenance. We pilot test on non-critical equipment first, then full deployment is coordinated around your production schedule.

03

How accurate are the predictions?

After a calibration period of 6-8 weeks, accuracy typically exceeds 85% for critical failures. Accuracy improves over time as models learn from your specific equipment and operating conditions.

04

What's the typical investment?

Most Irish manufacturing SMBs invest €25K-€75K for initial implementation (sensors + software + integration), with €1.5K-€4K/month for support and cloud hosting. Exact pricing depends on number and type of machines. We'll provide detailed pricing in your free assessment.

05

How long does implementation take?

Typical implementation is 4-6 weeks from assessment to full deployment. This includes sensor installation, data integration, model training, team training, and testing. We work around your schedule to minimize impact.

06

Do we need technical expertise to manage this?

Not at all. Our dashboards are designed for production managers and maintenance teams, not data scientists. We provide full training and ongoing support. If your team can use a smartphone, they can use our tools.
