Built specifically for UK SME manufacturers

Your engineering partner

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

AWI combines vendor-neutral condition monitoring, intelligent analysis and project engineering to take UK manufacturers from the first warning signal to verified operational improvement.

WHY AWI · THE DIFFERENCE

Everyone else stops at the alert.

Monitoring software just finds the fault, then hands it back to you. With AWI our engineers turn up, use the data to find the root cause, and manage projects to engineer it out. We call it closed-loop reliability.

AWI · CLOSED-LOOP RELIABILITY
Detect Diagnose on site Engineer it out Verify in the data ↻ Uptime, repeated
Detection is only the beginning. AWI connects every signal to engineering diagnosis, action and verification.
01
We fix it. We don't just flag it.

A dashboard alert is where the software market stops and where your problem starts. We analyse the root cause of the failure and manage projects to engineer it out, so the same fault doesn't come back next quarter.

02
On your floor, not just in the cloud

AWI are on site when you need us, not just a remote monitoring desk watching a dashboard. We're engineers too.

03
SME-priced, not enterprise

A small, nimble UK team of experienced engineers, services built and priced for SMEs.

04
Built around your uptime

Manufacturing doesn't clock off at five, and neither does the failure risk. We're built to be there when you're running because that's the only time it matters.

THE REALITY

Unplanned downtime kills margin.

The pattern repeats across UK manufacturing: hours of unplanned downtime each month, an OEE number far below world class, and years of operational data sitting unused. Condition monitoring and predictive maintenance are how that stops being a surprise.

UNPLANNED HRS / MONTH12 MO
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.

OEE far below world class

Measured manually, captured late and missing the real loss drivers. OEE.com's published benchmark puts typical discrete manufacturing at 60% against a world-class 85%. The number on the board doesn't match what the team feels on the line.

Data you can't act on

Illustrative counts for a mid-sized plant. 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.

THE OPERATING MODEL

The loop we've built.

Condition monitoring, existing processes and data, joined end to end by project engineering on site. Steps one to four are where AWI Analytics works; steps four to six are where AWI Labs works. Diagnosis is where the two meet.

Circular process diagram of six numbered stages — connect, monitor, detect, diagnose, act, verify — set around a centre marked closed-loop reliability, with one arc labelled AWI Analytics, the other AWI Labs, overlapping at diagnose.
THE LOOP · END TO ENDThe six steps drawn as one loop: connect, monitor, detect, diagnose, act and verify, with AWI Analytics carrying the early steps, AWI Labs the later ones, and diagnosis where the two meet.
01
Connect

We integrate with the systems you already run, so there is historical insight from day one. Years of operational data, finally usable.

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

Detect

AWI Analytics reads live and historical data together and flags the change in behaviour that matters, with the evidence behind it rather than a bare alarm.

Diagnose

An engineer takes the signal apart: what the data shows, what the asset history says and what the machine is doing on the floor. You get a sourced answer, not a guess.

Act

AWI Labs runs projects or just gives useful direction for your team based on what the data is telling us; planned into your schedule rather than forced by a breakdown.

Verify

We go back to the same asset and monitor it after the work. If the signature has not changed, the job is not finished and what we learn feeds straight back into step one.

WHAT BUILDS UP AS THE LOOP TURNS

Every monitored asset, diagnosed fault and verified intervention builds a clearer picture of how your operation behaves — making future decisions faster and better informed.

VERIFIABLE, NEUTRAL, CUSTOMER-CONTROLLED

That picture belongs to you. The data is your data and the sensors we specify are not proprietary.

TWO HALVES OF THE PARTNERSHIP

AWI Analytics + AWI Labs.

AWI Analytics finds and explains the opportunity. AWI Labs helps engineer the result. Available together as an engineering partnership, or independently when that's a better fit.

HOW WE RECORD THE WORK
SIGNAL DETECTED→PROBLEM DIAGNOSED→ACTION TAKEN→RESULT VERIFIED

Every intervention is written up in the same four stages: what the data showed, what the engineer found on the asset, what we changed, and what the measurements said afterwards.

HOW WE ENGAGE

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

Whatever model you start with, our aim is an ongoing engineering relationship. Each one is designed to step up into a partnership once the work has proved itself on your plant.

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.
