Reliability Intelligence,
Production Excellence.

In my 25 years of steel operations, I have rarely seen a reliability partner who understands machines like Aswartha does. When we first engaged them, our rolling mill bearings were failing every few months. Their vibration analysis and 24×7 monitoring cut our unplanned shutdowns to almost zero. I still remember the first time their team called us at 2 AM with a predictive alert.. they saved us a week of downtime. That kind of commitment is rare.

Oil refineries are unforgiving environments. One compressor failure can cost millions. Aswartha’s AMC zero breakdown concept was a game changer for us. Their balancing and alignment services on our high-speed compressors reduced energy losses and vibration drastically. I personally walked with their engineers during one of our critical overhauls in 2010, and the professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding. It gave me the confidence that we had a partner, not just a vendor.

In cement plants, reliability is survival. When we first adopted Aswartha’s integrated solutions (vibration, NDT, oil analysis, and thermography ) it felt like we had finally brought everything under one roof. I remember the first training session they did for our operators in 2009; the clarity with which they explained machine health to shop-floor workers made a big difference. Today, our team uses their digital dashboards daily, and production uptime has improved 7% year-on-year.

As a CEO, numbers matter to me: uptime, cost savings, and production efficiency. But what impressed me most about Aswartha was not just the numbers, it was their people. I visited their monitoring center once, and I was struck by how invested their engineers were in every turbine and compressor they monitored. Over two decades, their support has contributed significantly to keeping our power generation assets running at 99.98% availability.

When we expanded globally in 2014, I was skeptical about whether Aswartha could scale with us. But they did. Their teams in the Middle East and India worked hand in hand during our petrochemical plant commissioning. One incident I’ll never forget: their team detected a lubrication anomaly in a critical reactor fan within 48 hours of installation. That early detection prevented what would have been a catastrophic failure. They don’t just provide reports, they stand with you until the issue is solved.

Heavy mining equipment eats bearings for breakfast or at least it used to, until Aswartha came in. Their bearing monitoring program has been revolutionary for us. Over a million bearings tracked and a predictive database that allows us to act before failures occur. I personally received a call from their analyst before a scheduled shutdown, warning of a potential crusher bearing defect. We changed it during planned downtime, and avoided a breakdown that would have cost us crores. That is real value.

In 2022, when Aswartha went digital, it transformed the way we saw our own assets. Their dashboards and spectrum analysis gave us visibility across 10+ countries where we operate. I recall one board meeting where I showcased Aswartha’s uptime reports, it made me look good in front of our directors. But more importantly, it proved that partnering with them was one of our best strategic decisions. They combine technical depth with a customer-first mindset, and that makes all the difference.
