IOPS by KANE Industrial Consulting

Connect your operations. See problems earlier. Make better decisions.

IOPS connects fragmented industrial data into one intelligent operations platform. It helps teams detect problems earlier, understand the full context, make evidence-backed decisions, act through existing workflows and learn from the outcome.

Authorized sources Evidence and lineage Human approval
The IOPS operating model

From data silos to intelligent operations.

Live signals and scattered knowledge become a more complete picture of the same asset or event, then evidence people can use to decide what to do next.

01 · DATA SILOS

Different systems. Pieces of the same story.

  • CMMS and EAM: work orders and maintenance history
  • Historian: process trends and history
  • PLC, SCADA, OPC UA and MQTT: approved signals
  • Engineering records: drawings, manuals and procedures
  • ERP and MES: materials, cost, production and downtime
02 · IOPS CONTEXT

One asset. One event. Context across systems.

IOPS

IOPS organizes authorized information around the asset or event, identifies what is known and missing, and preserves source evidence for review.

03 · OPERATIONAL INTELLIGENCE

Signals interpreted in full context.

  • Detect anomalies and recurrence
  • Investigate using available evidence
  • Anticipate likely conditions where sufficient data exists
  • Compare response options, confidence, gaps and risk

A real-time signal is not complete context. IOPS combines live, historical, maintenance, engineering and organizational evidence before reasoning.

  2. 02

  4. 04
    Learn from validated outcomesRetain what worked so the next response starts with more context.
Why IOPS

Adding AI to every silo does not eliminate the silos.

IOPS makes the asset or event, rather than one application, the center of the context.

Individual system AI

Useful inside one application, while operational context can still be split across the CMMS, historian, ERP, documents and production systems.

IOPS

  • Organizes context around the asset or event
  • Combines authorized information across systems
  • Shows sources, confidence, gaps and risks
  • Connects decisions to outcomes and learning
Decision to learning

The decision is not the end of the story.

IOPS follows an operational question through execution and outcome, preserving what worked and what did not for the next decision.

Illustrative example · not a customer result

Pump 2A: emerging bearing or alignment risk.

This illustrates a possible workflow. It is not a prediction guarantee or evidence of a deployed customer system.

Signal

Rising vibration is detected through an approved data connection.

Context assembled

  • Current vibration, temperature and load
  • Historian trend
  • Recent work orders and prior failures
  • OEM information and operating conditions

Decision support

  • Possible degradation pattern
  • Inspection timing and practical checks
  • Source evidence and confidence
  • Missing information and risk

AI recommends and explains. People approve and act. IOPS does not autonomously control PLC or SCADA systems.

Platform capabilities

One platform. Four connected capabilities.

A disciplined path from connected information to operational memory.

01

Connected operations

Operational systems and knowledge in one shared view without replacing the original tools.

02

Operational intelligence

Investigation of anomalies, degradation and recurrence when evidence supports the analysis.

03

Decision intelligence

Evidence-backed options with sources, confidence, missing information and risk.

04

Operational memory

Validated outcomes retained so future responses start with what the organization learned.

Security and architecture

Human authority and controlled access at the center.

Pilot requirements are reviewed with each customer. Planned capabilities are not presented as deployed features.

  • Source permissions respected
  • Traceable source lineage
  • Evidence behind recommendations
  • Auditability for decisions and actions
  • Human authority over operational decisions
  • No autonomous PLC or SCADA control
