The seven stages
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| Buying | Order, supplier, warranty |
| Building | Parts list, sensors attached |
| Starting up | Commissioning, first readings |
| Running | Health scored from live readings |
| Maintaining | Work raised four different ways |
| Costing | Everything it has cost to own |
| Retiring | Scrap or replace, with the record kept |
§ 01
Four ways to decide when to fix something.
Most maintenance systems can only do the first two, because they cannot see the machine. TwinEdge can see it, so it can do all four — and you choose per machine which one is worth the effort.
- 01Fix it when it breaks
Something fails, and the work starts. The fastest possible response, and the most expensive way to run a plant. Every job is recorded with what actually caused it.
- 02Fix it on a date
Service every so many days or running hours. The work order, the parts list, and the procedure are raised for you. Simple, and it services plenty of machines that did not need it.
- 03Fix it when the machine says so
The readings score the condition of the machine continuously. Work is raised when the equipment has actually degraded, not when the calendar says so.
- 04Fix it before it breaks
Models trained on your own history estimate how much life is left, weeks ahead, so the repair can be booked into a window that suits you.
“Anyone can schedule a service. Knowing which service was not needed is the part that requires the machine to be watched.”
Why the fourth one is hard to buy
§ 02
How it works, in order.
- 01Get the machine on the books
Bring it in from a purchase order, scan a code on the equipment, or load a spreadsheet. The record carries the supplier, the warranty, the cost, and what is on the nameplate.
- 02List its parts and attach its sensors
Break the machine into the parts it is made of, then point each sensor at the part it watches: vibration on a bearing, temperature on a winding, pressure on the discharge.
- 03Commission it and record what good looks like
Work through the commissioning checks and sign them off. Those first readings become the reference every later comparison is made against.
- 04Watch it, maintain it, and keep the costs
Readings score its health continuously, the four methods above raise the work, and what each job cost is posted back to your finance system.
§ 03
It talks to your finance system, both ways.
A maintenance system that cannot post costs is a to-do list. The value of tracking what a machine costs to own only appears when the numbers are the same ones the finance team sees.
So the connection runs in both directions, and neither side is retyped by a person. What purchasing buys becomes an equipment record; what maintenance spends becomes a ledger entry.
- 01From purchasing to TwinEdge
A purchase order creates the equipment record on its own. Supplier, model, serial number, warranty, and cost come across with it.
- 02Parts, both ways
Parts used on a job come off the shelf count. When stock runs low the reorder goes back to purchasing. Nobody retypes a part number.
- 03Back to the ledger
Labour, parts, energy, and contractor costs post to the accounts on their own, and what the asset is worth on the books stays in step.
§ 04
What it is worth.
Modelled figures, not customer results.1
100%
Machines accounted for
Every machine tracked from the day it arrives to the day it goes, with the record kept.
73%
Fewer inspections
Scoring condition from live readings removes most of the walk-round checks.
34%
Lower cost to own
Knowing the real cost per running hour changes when you replace a machine.
§ 05

- 01The asset register
Every machine in a hierarchy, imported in bulk, with properties that pass down.
- 02Work orders
Drafted from condition, from predictions, and from schedules, for a planner to review.
- 03Condition from live readings
Scoring equipment health continuously instead of sending somebody to look at it.
Connect your equipment across its complete lifecycle.
Bring the purchase order for a machine you already own, and we will walk it through: the parts, the sensors, the commissioning readings, the first condition score, the first work order, and what it has cost you to own so far.
- 1Modelled projections for illustration, not measured customer results. Your figures depend on your equipment, how you maintain today, and what you already record. We build the model with your own data during an evaluation.
