Tuffy’s Pet Foods: Predictive maintenance on a 24/7 line.

Perham, MN

Wireless vibration and temperature sensors on motors, conveyors and mixers — faults caught weeks before failure, with no wiring.

How it was done.

  1. Identify

    Continuous production lines where unplanned motor, conveyor, and mixer downtime is costly — with no early warning of bearing wear, imbalance, or overheating.

  2. Apply

    3-axis LoRaWAN vibration and temperature sensors — magnetic-mount, battery-powered, deployed in hours with no wiring.

  3. Verify

    Cognituv Connect streams every node into one dashboard with real-time alerts and trend history — detecting faults weeks before failure.

Successful outcomes

What changed.

Predictive maintenance replaces reactive repairs

  • Faults caught weeks before failure
  • Zero wiring or infrastructure cost
  • Every asset in one Connect dashboard
