Case Studies
Explore how PRIZM is being used in real-world applications to solve complex problems and drive innovation.
Here are some examples of successful implementations.
Industrial Cleaning Equipment Manufacturer
A major manufacturer and rental provider of indoor/outdoor floor cleaning equipment was facing serious safety risks due to battery fires and explosions in its nationwide fleet. The root issue was poor battery management. To address this, the company launched a project aimed at implementing a remote battery monitoring system to track charging history, temperature, usage patterns, and other metrics—24/7. Immediate alerts would notify managers and users of anomalies like overheating or improper charging.Hardware setup was completed in a single day by attaching the PRIZM gateway and sensors directly to the batteries. An on-site engineer then used the PRIZM App Builder to easily configure dashboards, set alert thresholds, and define monitoring parameters—without writing a single line of code. The pilot exceeded expectations, and discussions are now underway to embed the solution as a standard feature across all rental equipment and new sales.
Industrial Induction Heating Equipment Manufacturer
A global leader in high-frequency industrial heating machinery was seeking to reduce unplanned downtime caused by failures in critical consumables. These failures—often triggered by cooling issues or wear—would shut down entire production lines for days due to lengthy repair dispatch times, causing significant losses.Rather than modifying their legacy machines (which was cost-prohibitive and risky), they began a project using PRIZM’s ‘Plug & Play’ gateway. It non-invasively accessed existing PLC data and uploaded it to the cloud. The system is currently collecting key data such as temperature, cycle counts, and flow rates. Early results show strong potential for predictive maintenance, with accurate forecasting of part replacement cycles. Thanks to PRIZM’s global cellular support, the solution is being positioned for a worldwide rollout across all legacy units.
Industrial Rubber and Thin Film Product Manufacturer
A prominent producer of industrial rubber belts was encountering a quality issue tied to unexplained machine vibrations and shocks. These subtle disturbances were raising defect rates, but the manufacturer lacked insight into their timing, location, and triggering conditions.In under a day, PRIZM gateways and vibration sensors were installed without any changes to existing equipment. In-house engineers are now using the platform to analyze vibration patterns under various scenarios, identifying correlations with defects. The goal is to build a system that predicts harmful vibration events, automatically alerts staff, flags at-risk production lots, and ultimately automates the root-cause response process.
Healthcare Device Developer
An AI-focused company entering the senior monitoring device space needed to rapidly develop a commercial product with radar-based sensing capabilities—including fall detection, sleep tracking, and vital sign monitoring. However, internal IoT development proved too resource- intensive in terms of time, expertise, and cost.To accelerate progress, the company selected the PRIZM development kit to validate its AI models and sensor integration in just a few days and now have moved to embedding the PRIZM solution into the final hardware; enabling seamless integration with the client’s proprietary cloud platform.
