AI-Powered Predictive Maintenance

Stop Pump Failures Before They Happen

Machine learning that monitors your pump infrastructure and predicts failures up to 90 days in advance — so your team can plan maintenance, not react to breakdowns.

Your Infrastructure, Running Itself

Firstlook doesn't just predict problems — it closes the loop. From early warning through resolution, every step of the maintenance cycle is automated so your team intervenes only when and where it matters.

01 ⚙️

Work Orders Before Failure

The moment our models detect elevated failure probability, a prioritized work order is generated and dispatched — days or weeks before any symptom is visible. Your crew arrives prepared, not reactive.

02 🛡️

Automatic Hardware Failsafes

When critical thresholds are breached, protective actions trigger at the hardware level — isolating the fault, preventing cascade failures, and keeping the rest of your network online while the issue is resolved.

03 📈

Algorithm-Driven Optimal Operation

Firstlook continuously adjusts pump operating parameters to match real-time demand — reducing energy consumption, limiting mechanical wear, and extending asset life without any manual intervention.

04 🔩

Parts Sourced and Ordered Automatically

Maintenance windows are scheduled before parts are needed. Required components are identified from diagnostic data, sourced, and ordered automatically — so technicians arrive with everything they need, every time.

The Impact of Predictive Maintenance

Validated outcomes from our active municipal wastewater deployment across 391 Louisiana lift station remote telemetry units.

Case Study · Municipal Wastewater Lift Stations · Louisiana
Lift Station 1
$26,984 saved
Both pumps passed routine inspection. Our system flagged an impending failure the next day. Investigation revealed a dual-pump failure — repaired for $2,981 instead of a $29,000 catastrophic replacement.
Lift Station 2
$28,491 saved
Clean inspection on September 27. Our system issued a catastrophic failure warning three days later. Technicians found a pump overload and replaced it before total system failure occurred.
Lift Station 3
$12,490 saved
Failure predicted within 10 days. Two subsequent inspections found nothing wrong. On day 9, technicians discovered incorrect variable frequency drive wiring and multiple failed floats — corrected immediately.

Built for Critical Infrastructure

Our predictive maintenance platform monitors industrial pumps across essential infrastructure sectors, preventing costly failures and ensuring continuous operations.

💧

Wastewater Treatment

Prevent sanitary sewer overflows and regulatory violations before they occur. Continuous monitoring of lift stations and pump networks with documented audit trails for compliance submissions.

🏙️

Municipal Water Systems

Ensure reliable water delivery across pumping stations and distribution networks. Predict failures before they affect communities — extending asset life and eliminating unplanned emergency response.

🌾

Agriculture

Protect irrigation and water management systems during critical growing seasons. Prevent pump failures that could compromise crop yields and disrupt costly field operations when it matters most.

Oil & Gas

Maximize uptime across industrial pump fleets in extraction and midstream operations. Identify misuse-driven degradation early — and prevent the millions in annual rebuild costs that accumulate across large fleets.

Three Steps from Data to Action

Our system integrates with your existing infrastructure, learns your equipment's normal behavior, and delivers prioritized maintenance actions — automatically.

1

Ingest

Connects to your existing supervisory control and data acquisition systems, remote telemetry units, and Internet of Things sensors. No new hardware required. Data from pressure, vibration, runtime, temperature, and power flows into a unified pipeline.

2

Predict

Our Firstlook Failure Detection (FFD) models analyze multi-sensor patterns invisible to rule-based threshold systems. The Firstlook Unified Retraining Algorithm (FURA) retrains automatically every six weeks, so accuracy improves as your fleet data grows.

3

Act

Automated daily work orders with prioritized actions, root-cause analysis across every sensor channel, and full cost avoidance tracking — integrated directly into your existing maintenance workflows.

Our Technology

Firstlook Failure Detection (FFD)

Gradient boosting and long short-term memory neural networks trained on your fleet's specific operating history — not generic industry benchmarks. Detects the subtle multi-variable patterns that precede failure.

Machine learning models

Firstlook Unified Retraining Algorithm (FURA)

Continuous model improvement every six weeks as new field data accumulates. As operating conditions change and your fleet evolves, so does the model — no manual retuning required.

Auto-retraining every 6 weeks

Multi-Source Integration

Compatible with RPM² fleet management platforms, high-throughput telemetry (HTT) systems, Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure, standard supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, and Modbus protocols.

No new hardware required
Medical artificial intelligence origins. Firstlook was founded by physicians and data scientists who applied clinical diagnostic machine learning to industrial infrastructure — bringing methodological rigor the industry hasn't seen before.

Enterprise-Grade Predictive Intelligence

Validated performance metrics from our active client deployments.

81.5%

Intervention Success Rate

Validated across 391 remote telemetry units in Louisiana — when we flag an issue, field teams confirm a real problem the vast majority of the time.

90 days

Maximum Early Warning

Reportable detection range from our active pilot. Our retraining algorithm maintains accuracy as operating conditions evolve over time.

>95% accuracy

False Positive Target

Calibrated alert thresholds reduce operator fatigue. When Firstlook issues a warning, your team can act with confidence — not skepticism.

<5% OpEx

Per-Unit Pricing

Scales with your fleet, not your headcount. Our pilot recovered costs at roughly 5% of historical repair spend — break-even at one prevented failure in seven.

True Machine Learning vs. Rule-Based Alerts

Traditional supervisory control and data acquisition systems fire alarms after a threshold is crossed — after damage has begun. Firstlook predicts failures before they happen.

Capability Traditional Rule-Based Systems Firstlook AI
Approach Threshold alerts using static physics equations Trained machine learning models — gradient boosting and neural networks
Learning Static rules that never adapt to your equipment Continuous retraining every 6 weeks via the Firstlook Unified Retraining Algorithm (FURA)
Warning Time Real-time alarms triggered after the problem has already started Up to 90 days of advance warning — validated in our active client pilot
Root Cause Single-variable alarms with no broader context Feature attribution across every sensor channel simultaneously
Output Alarm dashboard requiring manual interpretation Prioritized work orders with specific, recommended maintenance actions
False Positives High — leads to operator fatigue and ignored alerts Below 5% target — calibrated thresholds your team can trust
