what we protect · what we prevent.
- +Tens to hundreds of thousands of pesos per unplanned-downtime event · detection 2-4 weeks before mechanical failure · bearing in fractions of thousands vs downtime in hundreds of thousands
- +Documented 9% reduction in CFE GDMTO bill · per-shift/area sub-metering identifies the delta · tens of thousands of pesos per month in typical plastic-injection plant
- +Recovered compressed-air efficiency · 25-30% of compressor air lost in invisible leaks · typical payback 16 days
- +Continuous STPS compliance without clipboard · NOM-015 + NOM-010 + NOM-011 + combustible-gas detection · monthly report inspector-ready
- +Operational continuity during CFE outages · generator always ready, diesel always available, automatic transfer verified · no surprises in the blackout
- ✕Unplanned downtime of critical motor · typically hundreds of thousands of pesos per event (12 hours of downtime) · 2-4 events/year in plants without predictive monitoring
- ✕Permanent CFE surcharge from low power factor · invisible per bill, massive cumulative · plus surcharges from demand mismanagement
- ✕Daytime emergency repair of tens of thousands when nighttime preventive was possible at a fraction of the cost · compressors that die because nobody noticed gradual degradation
- ✕STPS observations from paper logs · NOM-015 + NOM-010 + NOM-011 exposes to sanctions and fines · file without documentary traceability
- ✕Product out of spec from poorly-calibrated thermal process · rework · loss of OEM customer in JIT supply chain
sixteen use cases · five critical areas.
for maintenance.
Maintenance Lead. Three cases · unplanned downtime of a critical motor typically costs hundreds of thousands of pesos; the sensor that detects it 2-4 weeks earlier costs a fraction.
for finance and energy.
CFO + Energy Director. Three cases · low power factor, mismanaged demand, and invisible consumption are CFE GDMTO surcharges that accumulate on every bill · continuous monitoring eliminates or prevents them.
for operations.
Operations Director. Three cases · electrical room, machine room, and IT control room are three small rooms where a failure destroys equipment worth hundreds of thousands · basic sensors eliminate catastrophic risk.
for safety and hygiene.
Safety & Hygiene Director + Occupational Physician. Four cases · STPS requires continuous recording of thermal, chemical, noise, and gas conditions · automated monitoring turns paperwork into a 2-click monthly report.
for the plant manager.
Plant Manager. Three cases · out-of-spec thermal process invalidates product; empty diesel tank leaves the generator useless; automatic transfer that fails exposes the entire plant to a blackout · continuous monitoring of all three eliminates all three surprises.
three STPS compliances · one platform covers all three.
For industrial groups with 5-20 plants, national dashboard with per-plant efficiency and compliance ranking · identifies systemic patterns before escalation.
from sensor to report · every five minutes · without human intervention
Five steps. They run in parallel across all your sites, all the time. When something crosses a threshold, the flow completes in under five minutes — alert delivered, response logged, inspector-ready evidence captured.
measure
Sensors measure temperature, humidity, current, door-open, leak and other magnitudes every five minutes — no operator required.
detect
The system compares each reading against the threshold configured per recipe · per site · per equipment. Threshold crossing triggers the flow.
alert
The alert routes to the right person via WhatsApp, email or push · per role and schedule configured.
respond
The operator acts from the dashboard or mobile app. The corrective action goes into an immutable log with timestamp + signature.
audit
Everything becomes part of the audit package · time series, critical events, corrective actions, NOM report ready in two clicks.
Five steps · no manual operators · no paperwork · no gaps.
five phases · per plant.
site survey per plant
1-2 daysTechnical visit + inventory of critical machines, electrical panel, service rooms + STPS-point identification + per-process checklist.
physical installation
3-5 daysClamp-on current meters (no operational shutdown) + ambient sensors in critical rooms + submersible temperature probes in thermal processes + gateway with 32-hour backup.
configuration + calibration
2-3 daysSTPS thresholds + per-machine rules · consumption + power-factor baseline · calibrated probes verified · STPS template ready · WhatsApp alerts per role.
team training
1 dayPlant Manager + Maintenance Lead + Energy Director + Safety & Hygiene Director + shift operators · each role trains on alert and report flow.
30 days of support + first monthly report
30 daysAstreaIoT specialist available · first monthly STPS report + predictive-maintenance analysis + CFE GDMTO dashboard delivered · escalation chain adjusted to real operation.
For industrial groups with 5-20 plants: after the first 2-3 pilot plants, phases compact to 5-8 days per plant with monthly waves.
common questions · before the quote.
can it be installed without operational shutdown?
Yes. Current meters are clamp-on (mount over the cable, no disconnection). Ambient sensors are external. Compressed-air pressure meters require existing T-ports or installation during scheduled maintenance. Zero downtime for 90% of sensors.
what if the plant has existing Niagara / BACnet?
AstreaIoT complements the existing BMS · doesn't replace it. Industrial cold-chain, energy, and STPS data arrive in your AstreaIoT dashboard in parallel. If you need bidirectional bridge with Niagara, we do it via BMS integration gateway (BMS Legacy Cluster).
how long does it take to assemble an STPS report?
Two clicks. The system assembles monthly reports per NOM (015 thermal, 010 chemicals, 011 noise) automatically. PDF ready for STPS audit in less than a minute.
does it integrate with SCADA / ERP / MES?
Yes · via Custom Integration. We connect you with SAP, Oracle, proprietary SCADA, or industrial MES. Predictive maintenance + energy + STPS data arrives in your central system for correlation with production.
do I need my own internet?
Not required. The gateway uses industrial WiFi when available · or the included cellular modem as backup · 32-hour local buffer. Works in plants with mixed connectivity.
how are sensors calibrated and how often?
submersible temperature probes calibrated in accredited laboratory before deployment. Ambient sensors auto-calibrated. submersible temperature probe recalibration every 12 months · we keep the calendar across the entire network.
what happens if a plant changes process or relocates?
We recover the equipment · no penalty or de-installation fee. Sensors are designed to move · they can be redeployed to another plant or area of the industrial group with low friction.
