Predictive Analytics & Maintenance

Production ML in your industrial environment - from historian data through trained models to operational feedback loops.

The Problem

Unplanned downtime is expensive, but most predictive maintenance efforts stall before they reach production. A model in a notebook isn't a solution. Getting from historian data to a deployed inference service that operators trust and the control system can act on requires engineering discipline across the full stack - data pipelines, model training, serving infrastructure, and OT integration. That's the work this engagement delivers.

What You Get

  • End-to-end architecture: Historian - Pipeline - Model - Inference - OT Feedback
  • Feature engineering from process and equipment historian data
  • Neural network and statistical models trained on failure modes and process deviations
  • FastAPI microservices serving trained models alongside production data pipelines
  • Anomaly detection and condition monitoring with operator-facing alerting
  • MLOps infrastructure: experiment tracking, model registry, drift monitoring, retraining triggers
  • Operational dashboards surfacing model outputs in context operators can act on
  • Documentation covering the full pipeline - data sources through inference endpoints

Stack & Tools

OSI PI, Aspen IP.21, and Seeq (certified partner) as data sources. Python (PyTorch, scikit-learn, statsmodels), FastAPI, MLflow, Databricks, Delta Lake, Apache Airflow. Kubernetes and Docker for model serving infrastructure. Full MLOps delivery - not advisory.

How We Work

Phase 1

Discovery

Profile available historian and MES data, identify target failure modes or process deviations, and define the full architecture from data source to operational output. Align on what 'production-ready' means for this environment.

Phase 2

Design

Design the end-to-end system: feature engineering strategy, model architecture, inference service design, MLOps pipeline, and how outputs connect back to operators or control systems.

Phase 3

Build

Implement the full stack - data pipelines, model training, validation against historical events, FastAPI inference services, monitoring, and the operator-facing layer. Delivered as running infrastructure, not notebooks.

Phase 4

Enablement

Train your team on the deployed system: how to interpret outputs, monitor for drift, trigger retraining, and extend the pipeline to new assets or failure modes.

Right for You If…

  • You have historian data covering equipment that has experienced failures or process deviations
  • You've tried predictive maintenance and stalled before reaching production deployment
  • You need the full stack built - not just a model, but the pipeline and serving infrastructure around it
  • You want Seeq for process analytics alongside deployed ML and need a certified implementation partner

What You'll Need to Bring

  • Historical process data with sufficient coverage of the target failure modes (months to years, not weeks)
  • A process or reliability engineer who can participate in feature definition and validate model outputs
  • Defined failure modes or process deviations and a clear picture of what acting on a prediction looks like
