Industrial Intelligence Platform
Industrial intelligence for manufacturers who can't afford
downtime or guesswork.
FutureFix connects your shop floor under one umbrella — production, quality and maintenance. Two modules: Connect sees what every machine is doing today, Predict gets ahead of failures tomorrow. Same data stream.

The problem
You already pay for running blind.
The machines already generate the data. It just never reaches the people making decisions — so downtime, stale OEE and quality escapes stay buried in the P&L until something breaks.
Where data is born
The machines
Cycle times, loads, temperatures, alarms — produced every second, around the clock.
Where data dies
Paper & spreadsheets
Written down at shift-end, hours late and error-prone — then re-typed into other systems.
Where money is decided
Planning & ERP
Schedules, maintenance and quality calls made on numbers that are already stale.
$50B
Lost annually to unplanned downtime. Emergency repair runs 3–5× the cost of planned maintenance.
60–70%
Average OEE. Operators log data at shift-end, hours late — stale data distorts every ERP and planning decision.
1 escape
Of a bad part in precision manufacturing can cost more than an entire project — scrap, rework, OEM audits, lost slots.
The platform
One platform, two modules.
Visibility first, prediction second — on the same data stream. Connect always precedes Predict, so you see production and quality benefits before any AI is trained.
Connect · See first
See what every machine is doing, live.
Live spindle, axis-current and machine-mode telemetry straight from the controllers you already own — manual shift-end logging replaced from day one. Pays back in week one.
✓
Live OEE, utilisation & cycle times
✓
Process & quality conformance dashboards
✓
Reads straight from the controllers you already own
✓
Captures operator feedback & tribal knowledge
Predict · Get ahead
Get ahead of failures and bad parts.
Anomaly detection runs on the historian Connect has already collected — flatlines, level shifts and drift surfaced before they become downtime or scrap. Switched on as a licence upgrade once the data is ready.
✓
ML on the history Connect has already collected
✓
Failures & quality drift flagged before they happen
✓
Every alert checked by an expert before action
✓
Exports work orders into your CMMS / ERP
Where it sits
An overlay, not a replacement.
FutureFix sits between the systems a plant already runs. Nothing is ripped out, nothing stops — it reads from your machines and writes back into your business tools.
Your machines
PLCs · CNC · SCADA · Sensors
Brownfield or greenfield, any controller brand. No new control hardware.

Your business systems
SAP · Oracle ERP · CMMS
Where schedules and work orders live. Standards-based, ISA-95 aligned. No lock-in.
How it works
From Connect to Predict.
Deployment runs in one direction: value lands in week one, and the AI gets smarter the longer the system runs.
Week 1
Connect goes live
Live OEE and quality dashboards. Manual shift-end logging replaced from day one.
Months 1–6
History accumulates
Cycle times, loads and temperatures build the training record during normal operation as trends emerge.
Month 6+
Predict switches on
Failures and bad parts flagged ahead of time — a licence upgrade, every alert validated by an expert.
Human-in-the-loop
AI proposes; experienced people decide.
No black boxes act on the shop floor. Every outcome — confirmed or corrected — retrains the models, so tribal knowledge is captured before models train.

The economics
What does visibility return?
Model your own fleet. These returns accrue from the Connect layer alone — before any PdM is enabled.
Proven outcomes
Real evidence — not a promise.
Early deployments and a Siemens reference case — gains from production visibility alone, before any AI.
Up to
50%
Downtime reduction
AI-predicted alerts prevent unplanned stoppages.
Up to
30%
Lower maintenance cost
PdM catches failures before emergency repair.
Up to
20%
OEE improvement
Higher uptime means more productive machine hours.
Hill Manufacturing · USA
30% faster
From data visibility alone
A lathe part running unchanged for 20–30 years dropped from a 3:15 cycle to 1:58 after machine data was simply made visible to the right people — no tooling change, no capital. That is 1,000 minutes saved per 1,000-part run.
“Having that data makes that available.” — Mike Payne, President
Buyse Metal Works · Belgium · Siemens reference
Where Siemens stops, FutureFix begins.
The identical problem — multiple controller brands, manual shift-end entry, stale ERP data. Siemens solved connectivity only; FutureFix closes the loop with expert-validated prediction on top of the same stream.
The landscape
Predictive maintenance exists — for enterprises.
Nobody serves the mid-market with expert-validated AI and no hardware lock-in. Filter the field by what matters to you.
Why AxD
Built by people who have stood next to the machines.
01
Engineers, not just developers
Our team comes from manufacturing. We have wired panels, programmed PLCs and stood next to the machines FutureFix monitors.
02
Protocol-native integration
OPC-UA, MQTT, Modbus and proprietary OEM connectors — direct communication with your equipment, no generic middleware.
03
Brownfield-ready
Built for existing factories and legacy equipment. No rip-and-replace, any controller brand, greenfield or brownfield.
04
Human-in-the-loop AI
Grounded in signal processing — FFT and SPC before ML — and every recommendation is expert-validated. No black boxes.
05
Proprietary, end-to-end
Not a reseller. Frontend, backend, data pipeline and AI are AxD's own — faster iteration, no vendor lock-in.
06
Skin in the game
30+ years of industrial automation across 3 continents — leadership from Lam Research, Siemens and Flanders Make.
