In their words

Unscheduled maintenance had grown 25% year-over-year. Machines were stopping abruptly, repairs weren't solving root causes, and the plant was missing customer commitments as a result.

What ZapSight built

One operating system around the failure mode

  • Integrated directly with machine PLC and SCADA systems
  • Captured vibration, temperature and process metrics before and after every failure
  • Logged operator and process context for each breakdown event
  • Trained AI models to predict failures across machine classes
  • Recommended root causes at failure time and recorded mechanic actions taken

We can now tell customers when a machine is at risk before it fails — not apologize after.
