PREDICTIVE INSIGHTS FOR SAFER, STEADIER THROUGHPUT

  • REDUCE COSTS
    Cut unplanned repairs, extend asset life, and avoid lost production, turning reliability into measurable cost savings.
  • IMPROVE THROUGHPUT
    Keep critical units online with early detection of bearing wear, imbalance, misalignment, and lubrication issues.
  • PROTECT PEOPLE & COMPLIANCE
    C1D1-certified monitoring safeguards staff and protects license-to-operate by identifying risks before they become hazards.
  • TOTAL EQUIPMENT VISIBILITY
    Deploy across utilities, process units, offsites, and petrochemical assets to deliver visibility across every critical asset type.
  • SCALE WITH EASE
    With zero IT dependencies, Waites rolls out fast across multiple sites, including refineries, specialty chemical plants, and petrochemical complexes, and delivers ROI in just 3–6 months.

CASE STUDY TURNING A NEAR MISS INTO $480K SAVED

Unplanned downtime would have cost this chemical manufacturer nearly half a million dollars. With Waites, they avoided 48 hours of outage and turned a potential crisis into a quick fix.

PROTECT YOUR CRITICAL ASSETS

PUMPS

PROTECT PUMPS FROM CAVITATION & BEARING FAILURE
Detect cavitation, seal wear, imbalance, and bearing degradation before they escalate to avoid devastating leaks and environmental incidents—including failures in petrochemical feed and specialty chemical process pumps.

COMPRESSORS

KEEP PROCESS GAS COMPRESSION RELIABLE
Gain continuous insight into vibration temperature and load to detect lubrication issues or rotor rub before they trigger costly shutdowns.

GEARBOXES & DRIVES

STRENGTHEN DRIVE TRAIN RELIABILITY
Identify tooth wear, looseness, and oil film breakdown early to protect petrochemical and specialty chemical mixers, agitators, conveyors, and cooling tower drives.

HEAT EXCHANGERS

MAINTAIN THERMAL PERFORMANCE
Keep exchangers operating at peak duty with continuous monitoring that helps your team minimize energy losses and avoid process upsets in facilities from petrochemical to specialty chemical.

COOLING TOWERS

KEEP COOLING CRITICAL SYSTEMS ONLINE
Avoid unplanned slowdowns with predictive monitoring that safeguards cooling capacity and prevents emergency production cuts.

FLARE & OFFSITES

MINIMIZE FLARING & OFFSITE INTERRUPTIONS
Detect faults in blowers, pilots, and utility assets before they escalate into flare events or offsite failures, protecting specialty chemical uptime and compliance.

From an ROI standpoint, installing the Waites system was one of the easiest decisions we’ve made. It’s a small investment compared to the $11 million we saved.
