Solutions for Every Fabrication Challenge

See how FabricateIQ addresses the most common challenges faced by metal fabricators.

High Energy Costs

The Problem

Energy costs eating into margins? Most fabricators don't know which machines consume the most power.

The Solution

Machine-level energy monitoring identifies power-hungry equipment and optimizes consumption.

Key Capabilities

  • Real-time energy consumption
  • Peak demand alerts
  • Time-of-use optimization
  • Cost allocation
Identify 20-30% energy waste within the first month.

Unplanned Downtime

The Problem

Equipment failures catching you off guard? Reactive maintenance costs production time.

The Solution

AI analyzes energy signatures to detect anomalies before they become failures.

Key Capabilities

  • AI anomaly detection
  • Early warning alerts
  • Maintenance scheduling
  • Failure patterns
Reduce unplanned downtime by 35-50%.

No Shop Floor Visibility

The Problem

Walking the floor with clipboards? You shouldn't need to guess what's happening.

The Solution

Real-time visibility into every machine—running, idle, or down.

Key Capabilities

  • Live status indicators
  • Automatic state detection
  • Historical tracking
  • Mobile alerts
Save 5-10 hours per week on manual tracking.

Mixed Equipment Fleet

The Problem

Running multiple brands? OEM solutions only work with their own equipment.

The Solution

Brand-agnostic monitoring for your entire fleet from a single dashboard.

Key Capabilities

  • Any equipment brand
  • Unified dashboard
  • Consistent metrics
  • No vendor lock-in
One platform instead of 3-5 separate systems.

Sustainability Requirements

The Problem

Customers and regulators require carbon footprint data. Manual tracking is slow.

The Solution

Automatically track Scope 1 and 2 emissions at the machine level.

Key Capabilities

  • Carbon tracking
  • Compliance reports
  • ESG integration
  • Year-over-year comparisons
Reduce reporting time from days to minutes.

Unknown OEE

The Problem

Not measuring OEE? You can't improve what you don't measure.

The Solution

FabricateIQ calculates OEE Availability automatically from real electrical data — the hardest metric to capture and the first to reveal downtime. Performance and Quality refine as you connect rated power specs and production counters. No manual logging at any stage.

Key Capabilities

  • Availability from live power data — accurate from day one
  • Performance calculated from machine rated power specs
  • Quality tracking when production counters are connected
  • 7-day trend analysis and machine-by-machine ranking
Start measuring Availability immediately — then deepen OEE precision as your data grows.
