The challenge

Unplanned failures on pumps and compressors dominated maintenance cost, and threshold alarms fired too late to prevent secondary damage. nybl needed time-series models that detect degradation early from existing sensor streams, with a pipeline operators could trust.

What we built

The full pipeline, end to end — not a blurb.

  1. 01Data

    Historian integration over OPC UA with a feature pipeline and drift monitoring.

  2. 02ML

    Multivariate anomaly and remaining-useful-life models on vibration and process tags.

  3. 03MLOps

    A retraining pipeline with shadow validation, per-asset thresholds, and a model registry.

  4. 04Deployment

    Alerts into the CMMS with explainable fault attributions.

Results

18 days

average lead time on bearing faults before failure

0.89 / 0.86

precision / recall on labeled historical failures

27%

reduction in unplanned downtime on covered assets

41%

fewer false alarms than the prior threshold system

Feeds the maintenance planning cycle across plants.
