Problem Statement
Industrial equipment such as motors, pumps, compressors, and conveyors often fail without warning,
leading to unplanned downtime, production losses, and high maintenance costs.
Ground Reality
Across industries, maintenance practices typically suffer from:
- Reactive maintenance (repair after failure)
- Periodic maintenance without actual condition assessment
- No correlation between electrical and mechanical parameters
- Lack of real-time monitoring at machine level
Key Insight: Machine failure is never sudden — it always shows early signs across vibration, temperature, and electrical behavior.
Solution Approach
Hexitronics introduces a 3-sensor predictive maintenance system integrating:
- Vibration Sensor: Detects mechanical anomalies, imbalance, misalignment
- Temperature Sensor: Identifies overheating and friction-related issues
- Current Sensor: Monitors electrical load and abnormal power consumption
The system continuously analyzes combined sensor data and transmits it to the cloud for intelligent diagnostics and alerts.
Sensor Intelligence (Core Logic)
- High vibration + Normal current → Mechanical issue
- High current + Normal vibration → Electrical issue
- High temperature + Increasing vibration → Imminent failure
- All parameters deviating → Critical machine condition
