For COOs and operations leaders: uptime and cost across every site
Operations leaders are measured on throughput, downtime and cost per unit across many sites. Aqueduct compares sites, equipment and lines on the same measures and raises maintenance alerts before failures stop production or service.
Every site should be held to the standard of your best one.
The numbers your role answers for
- Unplanned downtime
Hours lost to failures, by site and asset class.
- Utility cost per unit
Energy and water per unit produced, per visitor or per square foot.
- Maintenance mix
Reactive work against planned and predictive work.
Operating decisions the data supports
Which site needs help
Rank sites on cost per unit and downtime against peers.
When to schedule work
Plan repairs around production when drift appears.
How to standardize
Copy the practices of top-ranked sites to the rest.
Running operations, before and after
| Task | Today | With Aqueduct |
|---|---|---|
| Downtime | Recorded after the fact | Drift alerts ahead of failure |
| Site comparison | Monthly reports in different formats | One portfolio view with the same measures |
| Utility cost per unit | Estimated from invoices | Metered per line or area |
| Contractor work | Closed on their word | Closed when the signal returns to normal |

Common questions
Manufacturing, dairy and food, logistics, airports, hospitals and data centers, wherever uptime depends on plant. The same yardsticks apply in every plant, so one site can be held against another. See manufacturing.
Yes. Utility use can be divided by output, visitors or floor area, so a site running extra shifts is not flagged as wasteful for producing more. See specific energy consumption.
One site and one asset class, such as compressors or chillers, then expansion once alerts are proven. Existing meters and BMS points come online first, with sensors added on critical machines. See equipment uptime.
aQ PredictIQ raises maintenance alerts from vibration, sound and energy drift before a failure, and fault detection names the component that broke. More work becomes planned, and the remaining breakdowns arrive with a diagnosis. See predictive maintenance.
