FAQs

Common Questions

Do you work with older machinery that doesn't have digital sensors?
Yes. We can install low-cost IoT sensor retrofits on legacy machines to enable data collection. We've done this for 50+ Indian manufacturers with machinery ranging from 5 to 30 years old.
Which ERP systems do you integrate with?
We integrate with SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally ERP, Ramco, and custom-built ERP systems common in Indian manufacturing. We also build lightweight digital layers for manufacturers who are still on spreadsheets.
How accurate is the predictive maintenance system?
Our models achieve 89–94% prediction accuracy with a 48–96 hour advance warning window, depending on the type of equipment and sensor data available. False positive rates are kept below 8% to avoid unnecessary maintenance actions.
Is this affordable for a small 20-person SME?
Yes. We have modular SME packages starting with a single high-impact automation (like quality control or dealer WhatsApp AI) at accessible price points. You don't need to digitise everything at once.
How long before we see results?
Predictive maintenance and quality control AI typically show measurable impact within 30–45 days. Sales and procurement automation shows results within the first month. Full ROI is typically achieved within 90–120 days.
