Question 1

What does a monitoring pilot include?

Accepted Answer

A pilot starts with one pump, motor, or conveyor that your crew wants to understand better. We mount a cellular pod, establish a usable baseline, and give your maintenance team the readings and alerts needed to decide whether another asset or line is worth monitoring.

Question 2

How is the cellular pod installed?

Accepted Answer

Your mechanic mounts the pod directly on the asset. It reports over its own LTE-M connection, so the pilot does not need a plant-network connection, VLAN request, firewall exception, or new IT ticket. The physical install is designed to take minutes, not a shutdown window.

Question 3

What readings does Thrumcast monitor?

Accepted Answer

The pilot focuses on the signals that help a maintenance crew spot a developing problem: vibration, current draw, and skin temperature. The first baseline puts those readings in the context of the asset so your team can see what is changing instead of reacting to a single number.

Question 4

What happens when an alert appears?

Accepted Answer

The maintenance team reviews the alert in the dashboard, acknowledges it, and decides the next check for the asset. Thrumcast is there to shorten the path from an unusual reading to a maintenance decision; it does not replace the crew’s inspection or judgment.

Question 5

Can a pilot cover more than one facility?

Accepted Answer

Start with one asset at one facility so the baseline is easy to read and act on. If the pilot proves useful, we can discuss additional lines or facilities with your maintenance and operations leads. The right expansion depends on the assets, access, and workflow you want to improve.

Question 6

How do I request a pilot?

Accepted Answer

Use the request form below and tell us which facility, line, or asset is giving your crew the most trouble. Include a maintenance contact and the best way to reach you. We will use that context to recommend a practical first asset and next step.
