Turn every unit you deliver into a lifelong service business — on your own installed base, together with your EPC partners
A plant is designed by an OEM, built by an EPC, changed by engineering partners and run by an operator — and each of them keeps its own drawings, its own status, its own data. Spare parts, re-engineering, predictive maintenance and an energy-optimized operation are hard enough; without one shared picture of the plant they are guesswork.
PlantPilot is the first platform built for this whole chain: a collaborative as-built twin every partner works in, a data hub that turns the sensor data you already collect into predictions, and a TCO optimum that tells you how to run the plant at the lowest cost per unit.
One as-built twin from your existing documentation. OEM, EPC, engineering and operator work in it with the access each needs: find any part by click, request a redesign from the original engineering, compare quotes — and order.
Sensor and actuator data from every party flows read-only into one hub, mapped to the twin. Pattern recognition flags anomalies weeks ahead and shows where the plant drifts from its best operating states.
Given the volume you must produce, the AI derives the cheapest way to run the plant from your own history — energy, material, wear, maintenance and CO₂ per unit. ESG reporting is a by-product.
You build the turbine, the cold box, the compressor train or the gas system. An EPC builds the plant around it in your name, and after handover the asset disappears from your view — until a competitor quotes the retrofit. Aftermarket margins are two to three times those of new equipment. PlantPilot makes that business yours, plant by plant.
You are the brand on the plant — so you open the twin. Your EPC and engineering partners work in it, your client operates in it, and every plant you delivered stays connected to you instead of vanishing after commissioning.
Obsolete part, redesign, extension, upgrade: requests arrive digitally with drawing excerpt and specification — at you, not at a third party. Spares and frame contracts run through the same flow.
The data hub tells you what your units will need and when. Predictive maintenance on your own equipment becomes service contracts, planned utilization and a lifelong relationship — the elevator model for process plants.
Your old plants come back into your hands: you see how they run, where they age and where an upgrade or a new unit pays off — and you can prove it to the client with their own numbers.
Why the after-sales business on your installed base is worth more than the next hardware order — and why the data decides who gets it.
Aftermarket services earn two to three times the operating margin of new equipment sales — and stabilize profits through every downturn.
Services contribute about 25–30 % of revenue but 40–50 % of profits; for some OEMs the aftermarket is the entire profit pool.
OEMs that lead in services keep more than 80 % of their installed base under service contracts — the data connection is what makes that possible.

Get the tool to establish and run after-sales operations at ease — for your units, your partners and your clients' plants.
Navigate the P&ID, click a component and see its parts, documents and maintenance history — the same view for OEM, EPC and operator.
Obsolete part? The request goes to the original engineering. Standard part? Comparable vendor quotes with frame contracts applied — purchase order included.
Anomalies from the data hub become planned work: delivery times, availability and crews in one overview, readiness scores for every shutdown.
P&IDs, manuals and 3D models classified and linked to every component — even for paper-documented plants from the 1980s.
OEM, EPC, engineering offices and service contractors work on the same plant with role-based access — one truth, no version drift.
Obsolete part? Structured request to the original engineering. Standard part? Multi-vendor quotes with frame contracts applied — −30% per spare.
Parts, documents and crews condensed into one readiness score per work package — −70% organization time per shutdown.
Historian, SCADA, condition monitoring and OEM telemetry flow read-only into one data hub, mapped to the components of the twin.
Anomaly detection on vibration, temperature and pressure flags failures weeks ahead — enough lead time to plan the fix instead of suffering it.
Pattern recognition learns the states in which the plant runs best and warns when it drifts — advisory-only, your operators stay in control.
From a flagged anomaly to parts ordered, crew booked and an executed work order on one screen — no five-system detour.
Volume and deadline in, operating strategy out: the cheapest proven way to hit the target from your own history.
Input–output efficiency per line, product and shift, benchmarked against your best runs — 5–20% less energy and material waste.
See what each operating point costs in equipment life and maintenance effort — and run where margin minus wear peaks.
CO₂ cost per unit from the same metered data, Scope 1/2 and product carbon footprint CSRD-ready — no extra data collection.
Measured at plants like Linde PLANTSERV® references — not promised, proven.
Every partner sees the same as-built plant: no lost drawings, no version drift, no re-measuring — up to 70% less organization time in maintenance and turnarounds.
Predictions from data you already collect turn emergencies into planned windows — −20% unplanned downtime, and the right part on site before it is needed.
Comparable quotes, frame contracts and re-engineering from the original OEM — up to 30% per spare — plus 5–20% less energy per unit at the TCO optimum.
Every change, order and data point feeds back into the twin — so the plant, its operating model and its partners keep improving over the whole lifecycle.
Get a demo and an individual version of PlantPilot for your plant or your installed base — and see what one collaborative twin, one data hub and one TCO optimum are worth. Whether you build plants, engineer them or operate them: every partner in the chain wins on every level.
