SOLUTION · PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE

Detect failure signatures before downtime — not after.

Vibration analytics on rotating equipment, oil-health diagnostics on hydraulic and lubrication systems, and incident workflows your maintenance team actually uses. Run it in-house, deliver it through an AMC channel, or both — on the same platform.

Live today: VAS vibration analytics on rotating equipment, streaming into EREMOS V2 incident workflows. E-IDOS hydraulic and lubrication oil-health diagnostics run as a standalone appliance today; EREMOS V2 streaming is on the roadmap.

THE PAIN

Most maintenance programs sit between reactive and calendar-based. Neither is predictive.

Most maintenance programs sit somewhere between reactive and calendar-based. Reactive means waiting for the bearing to seize, the hydraulic pump to fail, the lubrication system to contaminate to the point that production stops. Calendar-based means swapping filters and servicing components at fixed intervals — whether the oil is degraded or not, whether the bearing is worn or not. Both work. Neither is predictive.

The teams that want to move beyond either pattern usually face the same three problems: (1) the condition data exists at the asset but doesn't reach the maintenance team in time to act, (2) when alerts do arrive they're noisy enough that the team starts ignoring them, (3) when AMC providers are part of the maintenance program, signal routing between the customer's operations and the AMC's service team is either over-shared or under-shared. The promise of "predictive maintenance" gets diluted by tooling that doesn't survive the operational reality.

The teams that succeed do something different. They instrument the assets that matter most. They read the actual condition signatures — vibration spectra on rotating equipment, particle contamination and water saturation on hydraulic and lubrication oil. They build incident workflows the team trusts. They route signals deliberately when AMC providers are in the loop. That's what this page is about.

"They read the actual condition signatures — and build incident workflows the team trusts."

HOW ELPIS SOLVES THIS

How this differs from calendar-based preventive maintenance. Calendar-based PM replaces oil filters at fixed intervals whether the oil is degraded or not, services bearings on a schedule whether they're worn or not. Predictive maintenance reads the actual condition signatures — vibration spectra on rotating equipment, particle contamination counts (ISO 4406 / NAS 1638) and water saturation on hydraulic and lubrication systems — and triggers maintenance when the signature crosses a threshold the maintenance team defines. Same maintenance team. Same workflows. Different trigger. The platform doesn't replace your CMMS or your maintenance discipline; it gives them a better trigger signal to act on.

Read what the asset is actually telling you.VAS (Vibration Analyser System) runs on mDAQ hardware mounted at the rotating equipment — pumps, motors, gearboxes, fans, compressors, conveyors, structural components — and captures vibration spectra continuously. E-IDOS (Hydraulic & Lubrication Condition Monitoring) is a standalone sensor-agnostic appliance that measures particle contamination, water saturation, and oil flow on hydraulic and lubrication systems — supporting HYDAC, Parker, MP Filter, and Argo-Hytos sensors. Both run online (continuous monitoring) and offline (spot-check / portable mode) per the maintenance team's preference. See the underlying capability story → /capabilities/condition-monitoring.
Turn signals into workflows your team actually uses.Raw condition data is noise without a trigger discipline. EREMOS V2 builds the persistent alarm and incident workflow layer on top of the VAS signal stream today — thresholds you define per asset, alarm escalation that survives shift handoffs, incident records that close out with operator notes and resolution detail. The signal becomes an incident; the incident becomes a workflow; the workflow becomes an audit trail. See the underlying capability story → /capabilities/operational-intelligence.
Honest framing — E-IDOS streaming integration into EREMOS V2 is near-term roadmap. Today E-IDOS operates as a standalone reliability instrument with on-board HMI, thermal printer, BLE Android app, and email reports — the maintenance team reads condition data at the appliance, prints reports, and acts on alarms locally. The VAS-and-E-IDOS-together signal-stream story above describes the integrated end-state we are building toward; VAS-side incident workflows are live in EREMOS V2 today.

Same maintenance team. Same workflows. Different trigger.

Deploy the shape that fits how you operate.All three shapes start the same way: rank assets by criticality (downtime cost × consequence × likelihood) and instrument the top tier first. Then pick the shape that fits your maintenance program.
SHAPE 1 — IN-HOUSE

VAS + E-IDOS direct to your in-house maintenance team, VAS signals route to your EREMOS V2 tenant.

SHAPE 2 — AMC-DELIVERED

VAS + E-IDOS deployed by your AMC provider, VAS signals route to the AMC operations team (under a customer-authorized routing scope).

SHAPE 3 — HYBRID

In-house and AMC providers share VAS signals via customer-controlled routing, where the customer decides which signals route back to the AMC for which assets.

No new monitoring stack to learn.The same platform that runs your connectivity-edge for protocol integration, your data-acquisition for direct-sensor reads, and your operational-intelligence for OEE and alarms — that's the same platform running predictive maintenance. Condition signatures arrive at EREMOS V2 in the same canonical vocabulary as everything else. Maintenance teams that already use the platform for OEE or alarms learn no new tool.
WHAT'S INCLUDED

The EdgeConnect peer is not used for predictive maintenance — the Acquisition peer (mDAQ + VAS + E-IDOS) carries the floor-side of this solution. See the architecture below.

From Hardware

mDAQ (the acquisition platform that runs VAS)

  • Ruggedized acquisition hardware mounted at the rotating equipment, running the VAS analytics — 4 analog channels (0-10 V or 4-20 mA), 16-bit, 860 S/s.
  • Offline operation with optional battery backup for remote / unmanned sites (pipeline pump stations, mining outposts, off-grid water infrastructure).
  • 4G / Wi-Fi / optional Ethernet for signal delivery back to EREMOS V2 — see /capabilities/data-acquisition for full hardware specs.

VAS (vibration analytics on rotating equipment, runs on mDAQ)

  • Continuous vibration spectra capture on rotating machinery (pumps, motors, gearboxes, fans, compressors), conveyors, and structural components.
  • Failure-signature thresholds per asset (defined by your maintenance team).
  • Online + offline modes — continuous monitoring or spot-check via portable deployment.
  • Equipment-class library for common rotating-equipment failure modes (bearing issues, imbalance, misalignment, looseness, and cracks).

E-IDOS (standalone sensor-agnostic appliance for hydraulic + lubrication oil-health)

Honest framing — E-IDOS today operates as a standalone reliability instrument; signaling integration with EREMOS V2 is near-term roadmap. The features below describe what E-IDOS does at the appliance today.
  • Standalone sensor-agnostic appliance — NOT mDAQ-based. Its own hardware platform with on-board HMI, thermal printer, BLE Android app, and email reports.
  • Particle contamination monitoring logged to ISO 4406 and NAS 1638 cleanliness standards.
  • Water saturation + oil flow measurement in both online and offline states.
  • Sensor-agnostic input — HYDAC, Parker, MP Filter, Argo-Hytos all supported.
  • Oil-health failure-mode coverage for common hydraulic and lubrication failure modes — particle contamination, water ingress, lubrication breakdown / oil degradation, additive depletion.

From EREMOS V2 (incident workflows)

  • Persistent alarm state that survives shift handoffs (alarm doesn't disappear when the operator who saw it goes home) — fed by VAS signals today; E-IDOS streaming integration is near-term roadmap.
  • Incident workflow — alarm → triage → assigned-to → resolution → closure, with operator notes at each step.
  • Customer-controlled routing for AMC channel deployments (you decide which signals route to which AMC provider for which assets).
  • Audit-ready configuration history — every threshold change and routing change captured with actor identity and timestamp.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What maintenance teams ask before scoping a predictive program.

Does this replace our CMMS?

No. EREMOS V2's incident workflows are operational — alarm triage, assigned-to, resolution. Your CMMS stays as the system of record for work-order management, spare-parts inventory, maintenance scheduling, and labor tracking. EREMOS V2 publishes incident records that your CMMS can ingest via API or webhook — the maintenance team works in the CMMS they already use, with a better-triggered incident stream feeding it.

What does "predictive" actually mean here?

Threshold-based detection on real condition signatures — vibration spectra crossing failure-mode thresholds, particle contamination counts exceeding ISO 4406 cleanliness limits, water saturation passing the equipment-class limit. The maintenance team defines the thresholds; the platform monitors continuously and triggers when the signature crosses. This is not "AI predicts what will fail" — it's "the asset is telling you the bearing is degrading, here's the threshold you set, here's the alert." Honest framing matters: predictive vs reactive is a workflow improvement, not a machine-learning claim.

How do we onboard an AMC provider into this?

Customer-controlled routing. You define which assets the AMC provider sees signals from, which thresholds they can configure, and which incident workflows they can act on. Per-tenant isolation in EREMOS V2 means the AMC provider sees only what you authorize — not your full operations. The AMC provider deploys VAS + E-IDOS on the assets under their contract, signals route into a scope you control, and the AMC team uses the same EREMOS V2 incident workflows your in-house team would.

What if our hydraulic system uses sensors that aren't HYDAC?

E-IDOS is sensor-agnostic on the contamination input side — HYDAC, Parker, MP Filter, and Argo-Hytos are all supported today. The hardware reads the sensor; the analytics happen in E-IDOS regardless of the sensor brand. If you have a sensor that isn't on the supported list, scope that with engineering during the architecture review — the integration pattern is well-understood and additions are common. Where existing sensors don't support the failure modes you need to detect, the scoping call covers a sensor-fitness review — adding accelerometers on critical bearings, or installing an in-line particle counter on a hydraulic return-line, is a small mechanical project we can scope alongside the analytics deployment.

Can we run this on assets in plants without internet?

Yes. Same offline-first posture as the rest of the platform. VAS runs on mDAQ hardware with optional battery backup; condition data buffers locally and forwards when connectivity returns. E-IDOS is a standalone appliance — its offline capability is built into the appliance itself: the built-in HMI and on-board thermal printer mean the maintenance technician can read condition data and print a report without any network at all, and the BLE Android app + email reports cover signal delivery patterns when network is partially available. Plants on isolated OT VLANs install both products the same way as plants with internet.

How should we roll this out — bottom-up by asset, or top-down by plant?

Bottom-up by asset, sized to criticality. Start with the assets where unscheduled downtime hurts most — the critical pump, the high-utilization gearbox, the hydraulic system that takes a production line down when it loses cleanliness. Instrument those first, build the threshold + incident workflow discipline on a small number of assets the team trusts, then scale out. Top-down rollouts (instrument every asset in the plant at once) usually generate alert noise the maintenance team learns to ignore — and that's the failure mode that kills predictive programs.

OUTCOMES YOU CAN HOLD US TO

What changes when this lands.

  • Cut unscheduled downtime on rotating equipment and hydraulic systems — failure signatures detected on the pump, motor, gearbox, fan, compressor, or hydraulic system before the failure event; maintenance acts on threshold-crossings, not on failure events
  • Cut emergency dispatches on AMC-served assets — AMC providers act on condition signatures arriving via customer-authorized routing, not on customer phone calls after downtime starts
  • Incident workflows that survive shift handoffs — persistent alarm state and resolution audit trail mean the night-shift incident closes out cleanly even when the day-shift team takes over
  • Maintenance discipline ranked by asset criticality — the bottom-up rollout pattern means you instrument the highest-criticality assets first and build threshold + workflow discipline there before scaling out
  • Customer-controlled AMC channel routing — AMC providers see only what you authorize, per asset, with full audit
  • Audit-ready configuration history — every threshold change, every routing change, every workflow assignment captured with actor identity and timestamp
  • No new monitoring stack to learn — same platform as operational-intelligence for OEE and alarms; maintenance teams that use the platform for OEE already know how to read it

TRUST POSTURE

Customer-controlled routing for AMC channel deployments. When AMC providers are part of your maintenance program, they see only the signals you authorize, for the assets they're contracted on. Per-tenant isolation in EREMOS V2 makes this enforceable by design — not a configuration discipline you have to maintain.

Offline-first operation, including air-gapped plants. VAS + E-IDOS + mDAQ deploy in plants on isolated OT VLANs the same way they deploy in plants with internet access. License validates locally — no phone-home. Condition data buffers locally and forwards when connectivity returns.

The platform is trusted in environments where data discipline is non-negotiable — including defense and space-agency programs, and AMC engagements across India and the Middle East.
