Findings do not become trends
A crack noted in one report, and again three years later, is just two separate notes. Nobody sees a trend. Nothing gets escalated.
AI software for industrial asset integrity
Inspection is not the gap.
Proof is.
Robots crawl your tanks. Technicians run ultrasonic tests. Drones survey the structure. The inspection happens — and then the evidence dies in a PDF. Machintel builds the software that turns each inspection into proof. Proof you can trend, defend to an auditor, and act on.
Illustrative — sample asset data
02 The problem
The same four failures show up at plant after plant.
In most regulated plants, the system of record is still a spreadsheet and a filing cabinet.
You pick your own inspection dates
Most codes say what condition your equipment has to be in. Few say how often to check it. So you choose the gap between inspections yourself. Then you defend that choice to an auditor, an insurer and a regulator — usually with no hard evidence behind it.
Audits are archaeology
Getting ready for an audit means rebuilding a paper trail across systems, people and years. It takes weeks. It ends in anxiety, not confidence.
The loop never closes
A finding that never becomes a work order, a re-inspection and a verified fix is not a record. It is a liability with a date on it.
Records of recurring water events “can help a firm analyze trends” — but “not all firms adequately record this information.”
- Mechanical integrity
Built for oil and gas. It brings that industry’s idea of an asset everywhere it goes.
- Food-safety software
Covers hygiene well. It never looks at the condition of the asset itself.
- CMMS
Records that a work order closed. Not whether the asset is getting worse.
- Enterprise APM
Costs far more than the people with the problem are allowed to spend.
03 The product
Eidos is your system of record for asset condition.
It takes in inspection data from any source and ties each finding to a specific asset. It scores health over time. It estimates how long an asset has left. And it keeps the site ready for an audit at all times.
04 Modules
Start with the core. Add modules as your data history grows.
Turning on a module is a setting, not a new contract.
M01
Evidence Core
Holds the asset register, every inspection record, and all documents and images. The audit trail cannot be edited. Access is set by role.
M02
Inspection Analytics
Takes in manual, robot, drone and NDT results and puts them all in one format. Computer vision finds defects and checks them against the standard they have to meet.
M03
Health Score & Trending
Gives each asset a condition score and tracks it over time. Roll scores up by site or by group. Compare one plant against another.
M04
Predictive & RUL
Models how fast an asset is wearing out and estimates how long it has left. Ranks what is most likely to fail. Suggests when to inspect it next.
M05
Compliance & Audit
Pick the rules that apply to your site. Eidos scores how well you could prove you meet them, lists each gap beside the clause it puts at risk, and builds the audit pack in one click. Auditors get access for a set time only.
M06
Event & Incident
Logs the small events that come before a failure — leaks, water getting in, deviations, near misses — and shows how often they repeat.
M07
Work Execution
Turns findings into a ranked list of repairs and writes them into SAP PM, IBM Maximo or a similar system. Then it checks the work was really closed out.
M08
Enterprise Portfolio
One view across every plant for corporate quality, reliability and safety teams. It shows where the risk sits, how sites compare, and what to report.
05 Agentic AI
Specialised agents, not one generic chatbot.
Eidos runs the loop with a set of small, focused agents instead of one model that tries to do everything. Each agent works from the asset register. Each is limited to what the data can actually back up. And each answers by zone, the same way the health score does — never with an exact spot it cannot really know.
Hover over an image to see it in detail. On a phone or tablet, the detail appears below each image.
Ask a question in plain English and get an answer drawn from the asset register, not a guess. When the data cannot back up an answer, it says so instead of making one up.
Reads the trend across several inspections and writes up what changed and where. It uses the same per-location history as the health score, turned into a finding an engineer can act on.
Builds the audit pack from the reports, certificates, defect timelines and exceptions already on file. One pack, ready for a reviewer, without anyone rebuilding it by hand.
Turns an approved finding into a work order in your own maintenance system. It names the zone and attaches the image. It never invents an exact spot that an inspector would then have to second-guess on site.
Takes a failure scenario for one asset and puts a cost on it — downtime, repair, lost output. It works from your own operating assumptions and that asset’s history.
Watches how accurate the detection models stay. When the error rate crosses a limit, it flags the cases it got wrong and opens a retraining ticket, so accuracy never slips quietly.
Every agent here is narrow, works from structured data, and is checked by a person before anything is written back into your systems. The work-order writer drafts; it does not send on its own. The panels above show how each one works. They are mockups, not screenshots of shipped software.
06 The differentiator
If an auditor walked in today, could you prove this asset’s record holds up?
You choose which set of rules to score against. The same asset can be ready under one set and not ready under another. That is exactly what a quality manager needs to see.
| Asset | Criticality | Evidence status | Readiness |
|---|
Scores are weighted by how critical each asset is. They are not a simple average. One major gap — a required inspection that is overdue on a high-risk asset, or a broken audit trail — caps the whole score, whatever else is in good shape. A score that can show green while a major problem is still open is worse than no score at all. A readiness score is an indicator. It is not a certificate, and it does not replace a real audit. The screen and data above are examples.
07 For multi-site operators
One plant proves it. The network is the reason to standardise.
If you run twenty plants, you do not have one evidence problem. You have twenty, each solved differently, and no way to compare them.
What corporate finally gets
- One readiness number per site, worked out the same way everywhere. A portfolio review stops being twenty spreadsheets in twenty formats.
- Comparisons that mean something. The same kinds of asset, compared across plants, regions and ways of working.
- One rule set, used everywhere. Set it up once, then apply it to every site held to those rules.
- Group audit packs built from what the sites already hold, instead of each site rebuilding one by hand.
- No capital request for every plant. Pricing per site keeps the decision inside an operating budget.
- Enterprise controls. Each customer’s data is kept separate and stored in the region you choose. Access is set by role. An audit trail nobody can switch off records the rest.

LAND
One site, one profile
Start where the evidence problem is worst. We load the site’s old reports, so its archive becomes a solid baseline instead of a backlog.
PROVE
Readiness, defended
The site can show an auditor, an insurer or a customer exactly where it stands. And it can back up its inspection dates with real evidence.
STANDARDISE
Across the network
Set-up, not a rebuild. The rules, standards and asset naming proven at the first site roll out to the rest.
08 For partners
We will never own the robot, and we will never send the inspector.
That is a promise, not a limit. Doing the capture yourself is a split, cash-hungry, low-margin business. Staying out of it is what lets us treat every provider as a data source instead of a rival.
Your field data is worth more inside a condition history than inside a report.
A report is handed over once and filed. Put the same findings against an asset register and track them over time, and they turn into something the customer cannot get anywhere else. They also cannot rebuild it if they switch provider. That gives them a reason to keep inspecting, and to keep inspecting with you.
Inspection service companies
Sell the trend, not just the survey
Send your findings into Eidos and your customer gets wear curves, readiness scores and audit packs on top of the work you already do. You do not have to build software or run a data platform.
- Every finding keeps your name, your method and your operator in the audit trail
- Repeat inspections get easier to justify, because the value builds up where the customer can see it
- You keep the customer and the scope. We never bid for the capture work
Robot and drone manufacturers
Your output stops being a video file
We tie crawler, drone and NDT capture to a managed asset register. Each visit is measured against the last one at the same point, instead of ending with the mission report.
- We take images, scans, telemetry and native formats from any hardware
- Your platform gains a trend and compliance story without you writing one
- We ask for no exclusivity, and we will never build competing hardware
Engineering, testing and advisory firms
Recommendations that survive an audit
You advise on which assets matter most, how often to inspect them, and how to keep them running. That advice lands better when the evidence sits in a system the auditor can search, not in an appendix.
- Set up rule sets and pass/fail standards for the regimes you advise on
- Back an inspection date with trend data, not judgement alone
- Certification and testing bodies get read-only access for a set time
CMMS, ERP and automation vendors
Condition data, inside the system they already run
Eidos ranks findings by risk and writes work orders into SAP PM, IBM Maximo and similar systems. We sit above the maintenance system as the evidence layer. We do not replace it.
- Open links to CMMS, ERP, historian, LIMS and quality systems
- Proof that the work was finished flows back, so the loop closes inside your product
- We do not compete to be the system that manages the work
- Neutrality
- Machintel does not own robots, employ NDT inspectors, or take on confined-space risk. We will never turn up at your customer with a crawler.
- Attribution
- Every finding carries the provider, the method, the instrument and the operator. Your work stays visible and defensible for as long as the record exists.
- What we take in
- Manual, robot, drone, NDT, fixed sensor and historian data — including archives going back years. Any method, any provider.
- Co-delivery
- When a customer wants one company to answer for the result, Machintel hires certified providers to do the capture. We coordinate it. We never do it ourselves.
- Training
- Training and certification for partner field teams, so findings arrive in the right shape and the data stays clean.
09 Platform and trust
Built to be checked.
Architecture
- Runs in the cloud. Each customer’s data is kept separate and stored in the region you choose
- We take data from any hardware and any provider. Every inspection company is a source, not a rival
- Open links to CMMS, ERP, historian, LIMS and quality systems
- Old archives are a main input, not a migration headache
Records and qualification
- Built to meet electronic-record rules for regulated industries. Every entry is signed, time-stamped and carries a reason for the change. The audit trail cannot be switched off
- We supply the validation paperwork your team needs for IQ, OQ and PQ. You do not have to write it
- Findings are judged against published standards. We cite each one so you can check it at the source
- As the company grows, we plan to certify how we manage information security and AI
10 Services
Software is the business. Services get you to value faster.
These are set, repeatable pieces of work. They speed up adoption and make the data richer. They are not how we grow.
- Loading your old reportsWe load years of your existing inspection reports into the asset register. It is the fastest way to a baseline you can defend, and it gives the predictive tools a history to work from on day one.
- Rule set-upWe set up the rules, the pass/fail standards and the scoring weights for the regimes your site is actually held to.
- Inspection coordinationWhen you want one company to answer for the result, we line up the capture through certified providers. Machintel hires them. We never do the inspection ourselves.
- IntegrationWe connect Eidos to your CMMS, ERP, historian and quality systems, and set up the write-back.
- Validation supportPaperwork and help for customers who must sign Eidos off as a validated system.
- Audit preparationWe build the audit pack and check how ready you are. That covers internal audits, customer audits, certification bodies and regulators.
- Model tuningWe tune the detection models for your site when the assets, materials or defects are unusual.
- Reliability adviceWe work out which assets matter most and how often each should be inspected. Then we put together the evidence that defends those dates to an auditor or insurer.
- TrainingWe train and certify your inspectors, engineers, quality teams and inspection partners.
11 Who we serve & how we sell
The question is not what your plant makes.
It is whether you run critical assets that are sealed or hard to reach, and have to inspect them on the record.
Industries
- Food, beverage and dairy processing
- Pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturing
- Chemicals
- Energy and utilities
- Heavy manufacturing
Buyers
- Quality and food-safety directors
- Reliability and maintenance managers
- Plant and operations managers
- EHS leaders
- Corporate compliance teams running several sites
You have this problem if…
- Your last audit took weeks to prepare, across several systems and people
- You cannot show how a critical asset has worn without opening old PDFs
- You inspect on a schedule set by habit, not by evidence
- Two of your plants would answer the same compliance question differently
- Where we start
We start with regulated process plants, entering through food and drink. That is where the evidence problem is sharpest, the rules are clearest, and no existing software was built for the job.
- Pricing
You subscribe per site. The price rises with how many assets you track and how critical they are, rather than a flat fee per asset. Pricing per site keeps the decision inside an operating budget, so nobody has to raise a capital request.
- How we grow
Win one site. Prove audit readiness there. Then spread across the plant network, where the group-wide view becomes the reason to standardise.
- Settings, not new versions
We add new industries and regions as settings: new rule sets, new standards, new citations, all on one codebase. This is the most important scaling choice we have made.
12 Why Machintel & how we work
We sell proof, not dashboards.
Why us
- You get an evidence position you can defend, not a picture of one.
- Hardware-neutral. You are never locked into one robot, one vendor or one inspection contract.
- Built for the rules. We designed the audit tools, the scoring and the record structure around the regulations first.
- Your archive is the moat. Every batch of old reports we load builds a site history no rival can copy and no customer wants to rebuild somewhere else.
- Built for the plants nobody built for. Regulated process plants have been stuck with software designed for oil and gas. It shows.
How we work
- Trade knowledge first. Someone who knows why a weld crack in a spray dryer matters is worth more to us than one more framework expert.
- Evidence discipline. We build systems auditors will pick apart. Being careful is not overhead here. It is the product.
- Small teams, real ownership. Engineers talk to customers. There is no layer between building and understanding.
- Honest claims. We do not oversell what a model can predict or what a score proves. In regulated industries, trust does not come back once you lose it.
We would like to hear from you if you are…
- A multi-site operatorwith the same evidence problem at every plant, and no way to compare one site with another.
- A single-site operatorkeeping your evidence in PDFs and filing cabinets, and defending dates you cannot fully back up.
- An inspection companywhose reports could become a history your customer cannot get anywhere else.
- A robotics or drone manufacturerwhose data should build up over time instead of ending with the mission report.
- A service or advisory firmwhose advice would land better with an evidence system behind it.
- A platform partnerin CMMS, ERP, quality or automation.
- An investorlooking at the software layer above industrial inspection.
- An engineer or domain expertwho wants to build software that has to stand up in an audit.
