Industrial IoT observability

Industrial IoT,
made legible

Warping turns the heat, vibration and current your machines already emit into a live picture your team can read, then acts before a fault becomes downtime.

Live on pumps, motors and compressors across 9 sites.

The product

Three honest layers, one continuous view

Rugged hardware on the machine, a signal path you can watch, and a view that lets you move from the whole plant to a single sensor without losing the thread.

1 · The node

A Warping node is deliberately unglamorous, and that is the point. Anything we ask you to bolt onto a million dollar pump should be legible to the engineer who services it. It is five layers, and each one earns its place.

Hover a layer

Five plates, one node. Pass over each to see what it does, the same way you would lift the lid on real hardware.

Figure 1. Every Warping node is five honest layers. Tap or hover to pull them apart.

The enclosure survives the plant. The radio reaches a gateway kilometres away on almost no power. The logic board is the quiet trick: it runs detection on the device itself, so the network only ever carries events that matter, never a firehose of raw samples.

2 · The path

Telemetry is a series of trades, and most platforms hide them. Sample faster and you see more, but you spend more power and bandwidth. Sample too slow and you miss the very spike you installed the sensor to catch. Rather than bury that trade, we made it visible.

Drag the sampling rate and the path responds in front of you. Density rises, bandwidth climbs, and the sweet spot for a given fleet becomes something you can feel. This is the same dial our engineers tune during commissioning.

3 · The zoom

A good display lets you change scale without changing tools. Stand back and see nine sites at once, fall toward a single troubled pump, and land on the raw vibration trace where the fault actually lives, all in one continuous motion.

Figure 3. The same data at three scales. Warping lets an operator fall from the whole plant to one bearing's heartbeat without losing the thread.

That is the whole idea of Warping, compressed into one slider. Maintenance stops being a calendar and becomes a conversation with the machine. It tells you what hurts, we show you where, and a service crew arrives before the line ever stops.

What reliability teams tell us

We stopped servicing on a calendar and started servicing on evidence. Two seized pumps last year became zero.
Priya NadkarniReliability Lead, Meridian Steel
The first time an operator zoomed from the whole site down to one bearing's trace, the room went quiet. It just made sense.
Tom ErrardPlant Manager, Calder Water
Our nodes have been in the field eighteen months on the original cells. The radio bill is a rounding error now.

Field notes

Writing from the plant floor

How we think about attention, edge detection and designing for scale.

Why most condition monitoring goes unread

Plants collect oceans of sensor data and act on almost none of it. The bottleneck was never collection. It was attention.

Running detection at the edge, and why your bill drops

Moving anomaly detection onto the node instead of the cloud cut one customer's uplink traffic by more than 100x. Here is the shape of that trade.

Designing a zoom from fleet to single signal

Good maps let you change scale without changing tools. Industrial dashboards rarely do. We borrowed the map idea on purpose.
