Catch the failure
before it catches you.

MaintenanceIQ™ is an AI-based maintenance agent that watches your production equipment around the clock, recognizes the earliest signs of failure, and takes action in SAP automatically — opening the work order and reserving the parts before a supervisor even knows there's a problem. It runs natively on your existing SAP environment, so nothing new goes on the plant floor. KloudData delivers it as a fixed-scope, 60-day accelerator, not an open-ended project.

2-6 hrs
Early warning before failure
20-30%
Reduction in unplanned downtime
60 days
Committed to production go-live

One agent, watching everything, acting on the exceptions that matter.

Continuous monitoring

Watches equipment condition around the clock instead of waiting for a calendar date or a visible symptom.

Early, confident diagnosis

Identifies the specific failure pattern — not just "something's off" — hours before catastrophic damage.

Autonomous SAP action

Creates the maintenance work order and reserves the spare parts directly in SAP — no separate system, no re-keying.

Human-supervised exceptions

Roughly 85% of events are fully resolved without a person. The rest reach a supervisor with full context, one decision to make.

Detection to work order in under 60 seconds.

Where MaintenanceIQ pays for itself fastest.

Built for regulated, high-consequence equipment across four industries.

Industrial Manufacturing

CNC spindles, presses, forming lines — the #1 cause of unplanned downtime, caught early.

Aerospace & Defense

Precision machining and test equipment, where tolerances leave no room for surprise failure.

Life Sciences & Biopharma

Pumps and process equipment where a single failure can put a batch at risk.

High-Tech Electronics

Conveyors, servo drives and assembly lines where one motor failure stops the whole line.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is MaintenanceIQ™?
MaintenanceIQ™ is an AI-based maintenance agent that watches your equipment continuously, recognizes the early signs of failure, and takes action directly inside your SAP system — creating the work order and reserving the parts — before a supervisor is even notified. It's delivered by KloudData as a fixed-scope accelerator, not custom software you have to build from scratch.
Doesn't SAP already have maintenance and AI features built in?
SAP's native maintenance module manages work orders after a person creates them, and SAP's built-in AI assistant is designed for conversational tasks, not continuous equipment monitoring. MaintenanceIQ™ is the layer that watches the equipment itself and creates those work orders automatically — a capability that isn't part of SAP's standard toolset. KloudData built it using our AI partnership with Anthropic.
We already run a preventive maintenance schedule — why change it?
Calendar-based preventive maintenance replaces parts on a fixed timer, regardless of actual condition — so you're paying for unnecessary service on healthy equipment while still missing failures that happen between scheduled visits. MaintenanceIQ™ adds a condition-based layer on top: it watches real equipment health and catches failures your calendar can't predict, while your existing schedule stays in place for routine service.
Our equipment is older and doesn't have built-in sensors — can we still use this?
Most industrial equipment built after roughly 2010 already supports the standard connectivity MaintenanceIQ™ needs. For older equipment, a small external adapter attaches to the machine without any modification to the equipment itself, giving it the same monitoring capability.
Does this replace our maintenance team?
No — it changes what your team spends time on. Around 85% of detected issues are resolved automatically end-to-end. The rest reach a supervisor as a single, fully-contextualized exception, so your team's time goes to the decisions that actually need a person, not to watching dashboards or writing up routine work orders.
How does MaintenanceIQ™ get information into our SAP system?
MaintenanceIQ™ writes directly into your existing SAP Plant Maintenance and Materials Management modules through SAP's own supported integration interfaces. There's no separate system to maintain, no manual re-entry, and no reconciliation between two tools — the work order and the parts reservation simply appear where your team already works.
What's actually included in the 60-day delivery?
The 60 days cover everything from initial setup and equipment configuration through integration with your SAP environment, end-to-end testing, and a supervised go-live with two weeks of hypercare support. It's a fixed-fee, fixed-scope engagement — the 60-day mark is your production go-live date, not a project milestone buried inside a longer timeline.
What happens if KloudData misses the 60-day date?
If a delay is on KloudData's side, your subscription is extended at no charge for the length of the delay. The commitment is backed by the engagement itself, not just a target on a slide.
Is our equipment and process data secure?
MaintenanceIQ™ runs inside your own SAP cloud environment and only interacts with the equipment and maintenance data required to do its job. Access follows the same governance, security, and role-based controls already in place for your SAP system — nothing is exposed outside your environment.
Which industries and equipment types is this built for?
MaintenanceIQ™ is deployed today across industrial machinery, aerospace and defense, life sciences and biopharma, and high-tech electronics manufacturing — covering equipment from CNC spindles and compressors to pumps, mixers, and conveyor motors.
