Artesis e-MCM Pilot in 90 Days: Step-by-Step Rollout Plan for Industrial Sites

Full-fleet Artesis e-MCM rollout takes a year. Proof of value fits in 90 days: 3–5 critical drives, measurable lead time, management-ready report.

Success KPIs

KPI	90-day target
Confirmed real faults	≥ 1
Lead time (alarm → repair)	≥ 14 days
False alarms	< 20%
Prevented downtime	≥ 1 documented
Scale-up decision	Yes/no with ROI

Asset selection is critical — without one confirmed early find, the pilot is hard to defend.

Weeks 1–2: preparation

Pick 3–5 motors

Score on: criticality, failure history, MCC access, variety (pump/fan/conveyor), maintenance logs.

Examples → industry map, mills, fans, submersible pumps.

Team

Role	Task
Reliability engineer	Owner, alarm review
Electrical lead	MCC access, CT install
Area mechanic	On-machine verification
KEG TRK	Supply, commissioning, training

Before start

• Single-line diagrams
• Motor nameplates (kW, RPM, DOL/VFD)
• 24-month failure history
• Existing vibration/thermography baseline if any

Weeks 3–4: install and self-learning

Install (1–2 h per motor): unit in panel, CTs + voltage, network, nameplate data in software.

Self-learning (7–21 days): normal load ranges, multiple VFD speeds if applicable. Do not treat yellow flags as emergencies during learning — log process upsets.

Weeks 5–8: operation and verification

Weekly ritual (30 min)

1. Dashboard / Artesis IoT
2. Traffic-light status
3. New alarms — severity, time-to-failure
4. Schedule site visit for amber/red

On-machine checks

e-MCM indication	Field check
Bearing	SDT ultrasound, SCOUT vibration
Misalignment	Laser alignment
Pump cavitation	Pressure, process mode
Electrical	Terminal thermography

→ e-MCM vs SDT 340

Pilot log (mandatory)

Date | Asset | Alarm | Action | Result | Lead time

Basis for management report and ROI (downtime cost).

Weeks 9–12: report and scale

Report structure

1. Executive summary
2. Why these assets
3. Event table
4. Confirmed finds with evidence
5. False alarms and tuning
6. ROI
7. 12-month roadmap

Typical next steps

Outcome	Next step
≥2 confirmed faults	+10–20 e-MCM in year 1
1 fault, good lead time	+5 on class A
Mostly false alarms	Tune, extend 30 days
No events	Move to chronic assets

Parallel: AMT Pro

While e-MCM learns on 5 points, AMT Pro can survey the whole fleet — route guide.

Common mistakes

1. Too many pilot points — start with 3.
2. No data owner — no weekly review.
3. Wrong VFD setting in software.
4. No field verification.
5. No management report — no budget for scale.

Summary

90 days is enough for full cycle: install → learn → real alarms → confirmed repair → ROI. KEG TRK supports turnkey pilots: asset pick, install, training, report template.
