We take maintenance from reactive to proactive — and downtime from random to predictable.

Vendor-neutral condition monitoring, AI-powered analytics on the data you already have, and the hands-on engineering support to action what we find.

Unplanned downtime kills margin.

Every UK manufacturing site we visit has the same story: hours of unplanned downtime each month, an OEE number far below world class, and years of operational data sitting unused.

Unplanned downtime, every quarter

Bearings fail. Lines stop. A single critical asset can wipe out a week's margin in hours. Reactive maintenance is the most expensive way to run a factory — and the default for most UK SMEs. See what it's costing you.

OEE far below world class

Measured manually, captured late and missing the real loss drivers. The number on the board doesn't match what the team feels on the line and finance keeps asking why.

Data you can't act on

Years of operational data in the CMMS, SCADA, historians and spreadsheets. The insight is in there but nothing extracts it and hiring a data scientist isn't feasible. So nothing changes.

Three steps to higher uptime.

We work with the data and systems you already have. We add condition monitoring where it pays back. We turn both into insights — and action.

1. Connect to your existing data

We integrate with the systems you already run. Historical insight from day one.

  • CMMS, SCADA, historians, ERP
  • Spreadsheets and operator logs
  • Quality and process records
  • Years of data, finally usable

2. Add condition monitoring where it pays back

On your critical assets, we specify and install edge gateway condition monitoring. Right sensors, right placement, live data alongside your historical context.

  • Vendor-neutral hardware specification
  • Asset prioritisation by ROI
  • Edge gateway installation
  • Integrated with your existing data

3. Insights you can act on

AWI Analytics turns both data streams into plain-English answers and proactive alerts. AWI Labs does the hands-on engineering to action them when you'd rather not act alone.

  • AWI Analytics: ask, get sourced answers
  • AWI Labs: engineering execution support
  • Proactive alerts before failures
  • Closed-loop improvement

Engineers helping engineers.

01

Built by engineers, for engineers

Our team has worked inside SME manufacturers and across dozens more. We've seen the data problems first-hand, fixed the broken machines, and read the spreadsheets nobody else wants to. We speak engineer.

02

Partnership-first

We prefer long-term engineering relationships over transactional projects. Most engagements start as a project to prove value, then grow into retainers or ongoing partnerships once the impact is clear.

03

Vendor-neutral by design

We integrate with whichever CMMS, SCADA, or historian you already run, and we source the right condition-monitoring hardware for your assets — not whichever brand pays the highest commission. No tied stack, no proprietary lock-in.

04

UK SME focused

No enterprise minimums. Built for the real constraints of UK SME manufacturing; lean teams, mixed-age plant, finance that needs to see the number before it signs.

AWI Analytics + AWI Labs.

The platform and the people. Available together as an engineering partnership, or independently when that's a better fit.

AWI Analytics — the platform

AI-powered analytics on your live and static data. Ask plain-English questions. Get grounded, sourced answers.

  • Natural-language queries on operational data
  • Live condition monitoring + historical data combined

Three ways to start. One goal: long-term partnership.

Whatever model you start with, our aim is an ongoing engineering relationship. Most projects evolve into retainers once the value is clear.

Retainer RECOMMENDED

A monthly engineering partnership. Analytics access, expanding condition monitoring coverage, and Labs support across whatever the operation needs.

  • Ongoing AWI Analytics access
  • Continuous condition monitoring coverage
  • AWI Labs support as needed
  • Monthly review and prioritisation
  • Best fit for long-term partnership

Project-first

A fixed-scope engagement to prove value on a specific asset, line, or use case. Defined success metrics and a defined exit point. Most projects evolve into retainer relationships.

  • Specific asset or line targeted
  • Fixed scope, fixed timeline
  • Measurable success criteria
  • Pilot AWI Analytics on real data
  • Step into retainer if it works

Subscription

Monthly access to AWI Analytics plus the condition monitoring hardware on your critical assets. Labs available when you need it — not built in by default.

  • Monthly AWI Analytics subscription
  • Condition monitoring hardware included
  • AWI Labs available on demand
  • Most independent of the three
  • Step up to retainer when ready
