Predict equipment failures before they cause downtime

Monitors your equipment's health data and flags maintenance needs before assets break down.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; runs once per each monitored asset.

The problem it solves

Waiting for equipment to fail before fixing it means costly downtime and rushed repairs. Manually reviewing health data across many assets to catch warning signs is more than any team can keep up with.

Who it fits

Facility managers, maintenance engineers, and operations teams in manufacturing, energy, or infrastructure.

How it works

  1. On a set schedule, the automation pulls in asset health data
  2. AI evaluates performance and coordinates specialists for scheduling, parts, and reporting
  3. External data adds real-time context to the analysis
  4. Critical issues trigger an immediate Slack alert, high-risk ones send an email report, and routine cases are logged
  5. Every result is added to a unified maintenance log
What you get

Breakdowns you catch before they cause downtime

Get early warning on equipment health so your team can act before something fails.

What you get

Early warnings on at-risk equipment plus a maintenance log for tracking asset health over time.

What you need

An Anthropic API key, a Slack workspace, and a Gmail or SMTP email account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
