The industrial IoT platform for the plant floor
A bearing runs hot for weeks before it stops the line — and nobody hears it over the noise. Kilo brings IIoT to small and mid-size plants: battery-powered sensors bolt onto the machines you already run, no PLC changes, and every reading becomes live dashboards, alarms, and action.

The plant-floor problems IIoT has to solve
01
The line stops before anyone knows why
Bearings and pumps rarely announce failure. The first signal is often the line itself going quiet — and every hour after that is scrap, overtime, and parts ordered in a panic.
02
Energy waste hides in one monthly bill
Compressed-air leaks hiss around the clock and idle machines draw power all weekend, but a single invoice for the whole plant makes the waste invisible — and unfixable.
03
Machine condition is whoever walks past
Coolant tanks checked by dipstick, motors judged by ear, gauges read on the Friday round. Between rounds, the plant runs on hope.

Manufacturing use cases
Predictive maintenance on motors and pumps
Battery-powered vibration and temperature sensors bolt onto motors, pumps, and fans and trend every reading. Bearing wear shows up in the data weeks before it stops the line.

Vibration monitoring on rotating equipment
Continuous vibration readings replace the walk-past check. Set a threshold per machine and get an alarm the moment a spindle, fan, or gearbox starts running rough.
Learn more →
Tank levels for coolant and process fluids
Level sensors watch coolant, lubricant, and chemical tanks around the clock — no more dipstick rounds, no more production halted over an empty tank nobody checked.
Learn more →
Energy monitoring per line and machine
Meter energy per line, per machine, per shift. Compressed-air leaks and idle consumption stand out immediately instead of hiding in the monthly bill.

Manufacturing IIoT FAQ
Can I retrofit old machines without touching the PLC?
Yes. Battery-powered LoRaWAN and mioty sensors bolt onto the outside of a machine — magnet or adhesive mount — and measure vibration, temperature, or energy independently. Your PLCs and controls stay exactly as they are, and MQTT-capable devices connect directly.
Does wireless survive a plant full of steel and concrete?
LoRaWAN and mioty are built for exactly this: long-range, low-power radio that reaches through steel structures and concrete walls. One gateway typically covers an entire plant, and sensors run for years on batteries.
Can rules act on readings, or only send alerts?
Both. The rules engine includes an Execute Command action that commands connected devices when a condition trips. And alarms carry escalation chains — maintenance first, then the supervisor — via email, SMS, and push through the Critical Alerts app.
