Manufacturing

Ensure reliable manufacturing operations and increase uptime with dynamic digital twins and autonomous inspections. 

WHITE PAPER: The ROI of Mobile IoT

Accelerate digital transformation

Increase productivity and plant reliability by knowing more about your facility. Spot collects and centralizes frequent, structured, repeatable data as often as needed to detect anomalies, prevent shutdowns, and turn insights into action.

Turn data into impact with Spot

Spot unlocks digital transformation in manufacturing by connecting the dots between individual assets and factory operations as a whole.

Data-driven manufacturing operations

Increase your uptime with a digital twin of your facility. Spot helps maintenance teams stay ahead on corrective action by collecting more data about your critical assets. Spot enables more productive operations, while keeping employees safer and freeing them up for value-added work.

Asset Management: Automate data collection

Conduct autonomous rounds and readings to monitor asset condition and power predictive maintenance. Spot makes it easy to detect warning signs like hot spots or leaks, integrating directly with your existing Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) solution.

Dynamic Sensing: Increase data versatility and frequency

Unlike inspections using fixed or manual sensors, Spot can capture multiple data types in a single inspection route—bring the sensors to your assets to meet your plant’s specific needs. Equip Spot with a suite of sensors to perform visual, thermal, and acoustic inspections from a single robot.

“We have a ton of peripheral equipment that is extremely important to keeping the fab running. And so from that perspective, being able to get more data about that equipment and how it's performing is really important to our team.”
