Every plant has its own failure pattern
What Fix-Lean and Fix-Lean Plus watch changes with the industry. Below is what we look at in each, and which equipment is the critical one.
Automotive
A minute of line stoppage is expensive, so warning time is the metric that matters. Rising vibration on press and welding stations is caught before the shift plan breaks.
- Critical equipment
- Press lines · robotic welding stations · conveyors · paint shop fans
Oil & Gas
Hazardous-area classification makes manual rounds difficult; wireless sensors replace periodic hand measurement and keep people out of the field.
- Critical equipment
- Centrifugal pumps · compressors · gas turbines · valves
Energy — Wind & Steam Turbines
Equipment that is expensive to reach. Bearing and gearbox degradation trends months ahead, so the maintenance window follows the data rather than the weather.
- Critical equipment
- Turbine bearings · gearboxes · generators · cooling fans
Organisations we work with in this industry
- Ekosinerji
FMCG
High-speed lines with many stations. One filling or packaging machine stops the whole line, so bottleneck equipment is prioritised.
- Critical equipment
- Filling lines · packaging machines · refrigeration compressors · conveyors

- Evyap
- Hedef Tüketim
Food
A break in the cold chain risks the product, not just the output. Daily washdown and sanitation cycles wear equipment faster, so degradation starts earlier than the book says.
- Critical equipment
- Refrigeration compressors · pasteurisers · mixers · filling lines

- Reka
- Reka Agro
- Golf Dondurma
Chemicals & Pharma
Proving maintenance happened matters as much as doing it. QR-based physical verification leaves an audit trail inspectors can follow.
- Critical equipment
- Agitators · centrifuges · vacuum pumps · dryers
Cement & Minerals
Dust and heat punish sensors. Rotary kiln and mill bearings are the equipment that gains most from continuous monitoring.
- Critical equipment
- Rotary kilns · ball mills · crushers · stack fans
Organisations we work with in this industry
- Mikrons
Glass & Ceramics
The furnace runs continuously; unplanned downtime risks the furnace itself, not just output. Fan and compressor health feeds straight into furnace safety.
- Critical equipment
- Furnace fans · compressors · conveyors · cooling systems

- Seranit
White Goods
Multi-model assembly lines carry a wide equipment mix. Operator reports and sensor data together show which station keeps causing trouble.
- Critical equipment
- Assembly lines · press machines · test stations · conveyors
Metal & Mining
Heavily loaded equipment in hard-to-reach places. Crusher and belt failures cascade, so early warning shows up directly in tonnage.
- Critical equipment
- Crushers · grinders · belt conveyors · cranes

- Gamak
Paper & Packaging
High-speed machines that never stop. Imbalance in drying cylinder and refiner bearings shows in product quality before it shows as a fault.
- Critical equipment
- Drying cylinders · refiners · pumps · winders
Water & Wastewater Treatment
Scattered, often unstaffed sites. Remote monitoring removes the need to visit every pump in person.
- Critical equipment
- Submersible pumps · blowers · mixers · screening units
Retail & Chain Stores
When a conveyor or a chiller stops in the distribution centre, order flow blocks immediately. A cold-chain temperature excursion puts the product itself at risk rather than the equipment.
- Critical equipment
- Distribution centre conveyors · refrigeration compressors · cold room units · goods lifts · generators

- eBebek
- File
Logistics & Warehousing
With a narrow dispatch window, a failed forklift or loading door turns straight into a late delivery. Because warehouse equipment moves constantly, wireless monitoring replaces route-based measurement.
- Critical equipment
- Forklifts · automated storage cranes · conveyor lines · loading doors · compressors
Organisations we work with in this industry
- Odak Lojistik
Construction & Infrastructure
Heavy equipment on site moves constantly, so interval-based maintenance plans break down repeatedly. A sensor records running hours and the vibration trend without a gap, wherever the machine happens to be.
- Critical equipment
- Tower cranes · concrete batching plants · generators · crushing and screening plants · compressors
Organisations we work with in this industry
- İGA İnşaat
Airports & Aviation
Operations run around the clock, so the maintenance window is narrow and tied to the flight schedule. One stoppage in the baggage system spreads across the whole terminal.
- Critical equipment
- Baggage conveyor systems · passenger boarding bridges · travelators and escalators · chillers and generators
