How long does installation take?
The device installs in minutes, non-invasively, with no infrastructure upgrade and no production stop. Our team can install it for you as a turnkey deployment, or you can self-install with a guided kit. A photo of the machine's nameplate is enough to get started.
Do I need to shut down the conveyor line to install it?
No. The sensors are non-invasive and mount in minutes — there is no line shutdown and no rewiring to get started.
What signals does it capture?
Standard signals are vibration (the earliest sign of bearing wear, imbalance and looseness), temperature, AC current and load, power usage, runtime and uptime, and the ambient environment. The device also accepts new sensors and custom parameters whenever a process needs them.
How is this different from a CMMS?
A CMMS tracks the work; IoT Octopus tells you what work is needed and when. It watches equipment health continuously and turns its findings into AI recommendations and drafted work orders your team approves. It works alongside an existing CMMS - nothing gets ripped out.
How is our data secured, and where is it stored?
Your equipment data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with per-customer data isolation. The primary data region is Canada, and the platform is built on Google Cloud. You own your data at all times.
Can we start with just one conveyor line?
Yes. Deployments often start with a single critical asset. Monitoring and health verdicts begin on day one from a physics-based baseline; the baseline refines against the machine's real duty cycle over the first weeks, and by month three the asset has a learned profile, fleet benchmarking and monthly reports.
