At a leading alloys production site, DataMind AI™ flagged early signs of mechanical degradation in a critical sinter fan – well before any traditional system raised concern.

By analyzing subtle vibration behavior using sensor fusion and multi-signal inputs, the platform pinpointed a misaligned coupling and impeller imbalance caused by a partially unsealed suction cowling and historical impact damage.

Conclusion

This early insight enabled the team to act before failure occurred – avoiding 7 hours of unplanned downtime, preventing costly equipment damage, and saving an estimated $336,000. A clear example of how predictive AI helps protect operational reliability and reduce maintenance risk.
