manitiq

The physics of a failing bearing is the same in a paper mill and a pharma suite. What changes is which assets matter, what an hour costs, and who has to act. Manitiq is tuned for each.

  1. Discrete & process manufacturing

    Unplanned downtime $20k – 260k / hour

    A conveyor gearbox, a hydraulic power unit, a chiller compressor — the assets that stop a line are rarely the ones with a wired monitoring cabinet. Manitiq covers the long tail, and the work order lands before the shift changes.

    Common modes: Bearing wear · Misalignment · Looseness · Gear mesh

  2. Oil & gas, petrochemical

    Unplanned downtime $100k – 500k / hour

    Process pumps, cooling-tower fans and small compressors sit outside the API 670 system that protects the big trains. Intrinsically-safe wireless sensors reach them without a cable pull through a classified area.

  3. Power & utilities

    Unplanned downtime $50k – 300k / hour

    Balance-of-plant equipment — feedwater pumps, ID/FD fans, coal mills, circulating-water pumps — fails quietly and forces derates. Per-machine models separate real degradation from load-driven change.

  4. Food & beverage

    Unplanned downtime $30k – 150k / hour

    Washdown, high humidity and 24/7 runs put mixers, homogenisers and refrigeration compressors through constant thermal cycling. IP67 sensors go on, and the parts get ordered before the batch is lost.

  5. Pulp & paper

    Unplanned downtime $40k – 200k / hour

    Hundreds of dryer-section rolls, refiners and stock pumps per machine, and every one is a potential sheet break. Coverage at scale is the whole point; wired systems never got past the critical few.

  6. Mining & minerals

    Unplanned downtime $50k – 500k / hour

    Crushers, mill drives, slurry pumps and conveyor pulleys run in dust and vibration that defeats most instrumentation. Ruggedised sensors and a mesh network that tolerates gaps keep the picture whole.

  7. Pharmaceutical & chemical

    Unplanned downtime $60k – 400k / hour

    A failed agitator seal or HVAC fan can scrap a batch and trigger a deviation. Prescriptive work orders with attached evidence give quality a documented, planned intervention instead of an emergency.

  8. Water & wastewater

    Unplanned downtime $10k – 80k / hour + fines

    Distributed lift stations and blower buildings mean nobody hears the bearing going. Cellular-backhaul gateways bring remote pumps and aeration blowers into the same fleet view as the main plant.
