The MRO Crisis in Heavy Industries
Modern Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) operations are complex and often inefficient, leading to significant financial and operational burdens.
Crippling Downtime Costs
Unscheduled equipment downtime can cost $10k-$100k per hour for critical assets, halting projects, incurring penalties, and damaging reputations. This is a multi-billion dollar annual loss for industries.
Data Overload, Insight Scarcity
Heavy industries generate vast data (e.g., CAN bus, telematics), yet 95% often goes unused due to complex data engineering needs and fragmented systems.
Mixed Fleets & Fragmentation
Managing 8+ data sources from various OEMs (CAT, Komatsu) plus ERPs & CMMS creates data silos, slows decision-making, and complicates holistic MRO.
One Platform, Total Operational Control
Modern Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) operations are complex and often inefficient, leading to significant financial and operational burdens.
Sensei integrates every facet of equipment management into a single, intelligent system.
Predictive Maintenance
Anticipate and prevent critical failures by analyzing sensor data to predict component health and flag anomalies before they cause downtime.
Procurement AI
Automate inventory management and optimize your supply chain with AI-powered parts forecasting and supplier risk mitigation.
Intelligent Scheduling
Generate optimal maintenance and deployment schedules with a single click, balancing operational demand with asset health and technician availability.
Sensei's Solution: How It Works
Sensei transforms your equipment data into proactive, autonomous MRO actions through a powerful, integrated approach, simplifying complex data and operational challenges.
Simplified Multimodal Data Handling & Engineering
- Comprehensive Data Acquisition: Our Sensei Insight Unit (SIU) & Connectors seamlessly gather data from CAN bus (J1939, etc.), telematics, OEM platforms, ERP/CMMS, and crucially, multimodal inputs like image (wear, damage) and audio (anomalies).
- Automated Data Engineering: Sensei handles the heavy lifting of data cleaning, complex protocol decoding, data standardization, and packaging for AI analysis. This significantly reduces your internal data engineering burden.
- Contextualization & Enrichment: We build a Dynamic Digital Twin of your operation. Data is contextualized with asset history, operational parameters, and maintenance logs. LLMs assist in interpreting unstructured data like technician notes.

Advanced Operations Research & Computational Power
- Sophisticated Planning & Scheduling: Our algorithms handle multi-objective optimization for site-specific maintenance planning, balancing costs, resource utilization, and urgency under uncertainty.
- MAS for Complex OR Deployment: Sensei's MAS architecture simplifies the deployment, observability, and tuning of computationally intensive OR use cases.
- LLMs & Neurosymbolic AI Concepts: We leverage Large Language Models for richer data interpretation and explore neurosymbolic AI concepts for more robust, explainable reasoning.

Dynamic Reporting & Dashboards
Move beyond static reports. Ask Kaito to generate a custom dashboard on the fly to visualize performance instantly.
Automated Workflow & Work Orders
Kaito bridges the gap from insight to action by automatically generating work orders, checking parts inventory, and initiating repair workflows.
> Kaito, what's causing the J1939 fault on EX-07?
> Kaito: I've correlated the `J1939-SPN 1172` fault code with a 12°C temperature anomaly in the primary hydraulic pump. The pattern matches two previous hose failures. Maintenance log shows the component is 50 hours past its service interval. High probability of imminent failure.
