Integrations, cameras and sensors
We integrate with any system and install cameras and accelerometers to capture data safely and non-invasively, without rewiring machinery or voiding manufacturers’ warranties.
Industrial big data as a service
Shed light on your business and engineering decisions.
We combine the IT paradigm of big data with the OT world of industrial control systems and with artificial intelligence. We know both worlds inside out and bring them together as a service.
- Any machinenew or old, analogue or digital
- No rewiringand no voided manufacturer warranties
- 200,000 signals/swritten to the Datalice historian
- Air gapcomputer vision never touches the control system
01How we do it
We are different: non-invasive, end to end.
Vision and artificial intelligence
We use machine vision and neural networks that learn from scratch, the way a person learns, to read gauges, control quality and measure tasks.
Data for everyone
Dashboards, email and mobile alerts and automatic reports to present your data, optimise the business and provide clear forecasts.
Our business objectives
- Reveal the depth of your data to make you more productive.
- Optimise your industrial and business processes to the highest level.
- Give operators, engineers and directors the visibility to make the right decisions.
How we achieve them
- Storing data from any industrial system with machine vision and non-invasive methods.
- Giving access to that data from any device.
- Modelling optimisations with collaborative human intelligence and artificial intelligence.
02Plant use cases
From the field instrument to the director’s phone.
Sensors, cameras and control systems feed the historian; AI detects, forecasts and alerts whoever has to decide. All without opening doors into the control system.
How a data point travels: from machine to decision
Live · simulationSwipe to see the whole journey.
QR codes on machinery
- Real-time metrics, on the move.
- Values right on the field instruments.
- Independence from SCADAs and walkie-talkies.
- Fewer accidents during interventions.
Machine vision and vibration
- Cameras and sensors in front of the gauges.
- Any instrument: new or old, analogue or digital.
- Quality control with machine vision.
- No rewiring, no voided warranties.
Remote O&M with augmented reality
- Your values on augmented reality glasses.
- Data, operations and maintenance of all your plants, centralised.
- Efficiency with “remote hands” on your assets.
Predictive maintenance
- Machinery failure prediction.
- Optimally planned maintenance.
- Fewer stoppages and production losses.
- Spare parts negotiated in good time.
Human task metrics
- Machine vision applied to human tasks.
- Real time spent per zone, task or machine.
- Real KPIs that complement work reports.
Mobile alerts
- Warnings on complex conditions.
- The cause of the stoppage, in the alert itself.
- The right people, involved instantly.
- Notice when production is back to normal.
03Predictive maintenance
See the failure coming weeks ahead.
Vibration, temperature and operating hours combine into a failure risk that rises long before the breakdown. The alert arrives with its cause, and the stop is planned when it hurts least.
- Accelerometers and cameras installed without touching the machine.
- Influencing factors explained in every alert.
- Spare parts and stoppages negotiated in good time.

04Product
Datalice: industrial historian as a service.
A time-series database that stores every signal from your control and business systems without restrictions, with an optimisation service combining human and artificial intelligence.
| Indicative comparison | Datalice (IT/OT) | Traditional OT historian | Generic IT database |
|---|---|---|---|
| Write capacity | 200,000 signals/s | 200,000 signals/s | 5,000 signals/s |
| Read capacity | 350,000 signals/s | 300,000 signals/s | 10,000 signals/s |
| Disk per year (5,000 signals at 1 s) | 650 GB | 250 GB | 8 TB |
| Investment: installation and licences | ~€10k | ~€150k* | ~€50k |
| Monthly maintenance | ~€1k | ~€1.6k* | ~€0.5k |
* Depends on the number of variables. Indicative figures, excluding VAT, to compare orders of magnitude; every project is sized individually.
What’s included
- Datalice database for industrial and business time series.
- External visualisation of control systems, outside the control room.
- Dashboards and reports, automatic, for every profile.
- Alerts and diagnostics on complex conditions.
- Collaborative data science: your engineers and ours, optimising every day.
Two flavours: on your premises (your data, your servers, our guarantees) or in our private cloud in Spain (your data, our servers, our guarantees).
YouTube video: we will ask for your permission before loading it.
05Mining and energy
Production, quality and safety under control.
Production dashboards
Real-time, mobile data on daily and average output, OEE, copper grade, d80 for each grinding line, discharges and emissions. Incidents avoided in time and business continuity.
Machine vision
Heatmaps of machinery routes, load counting per zone, people detection for health and safety, steam and smoke detection in stacks and leaks, and closure of doors and hatches.
Digital twins and AI
The key influencing factors behind each metric, such as copper grade, plus production and quality prediction, predictive maintenance and what-if analysis.
06Industrial cybersecurity
Integrate without opening doors to the control system.
Secure integrations
- Secure remote access for control-system maintenance vendors.
