Comprehensive Condition Monitoring for Packaged Goods Machinery
Sensors
UpTime’s wireless sensor solutions provide ultrasound, vibration, and temperature monitoring for packaged goods machinery, including wet-end systems, slow-speed assets, remote conveyors, and dryers. MistLX and MistEX support flexible, scalable deployments with long battery life, while Brick-TS1X expands capabilities with multi-channel vibration and process monitoring.
Software
UpCastCM™ turns high-resolution condition data into clear, actionable maintenance intelligence. Powered by cloud analytics, secure DSP processing, and enterprise-grade architecture, the platform delivers reliable diagnostics across your operation. Assets are prioritized by severity, with expert-built maintenance plans that guide teams on what to fix, when to fix it, and why.
Experts
Your data is monitored every day by veteran reliability analysts who know how to separate signal from noise. With decades of packaged goods experience, they confirm findings, tune alarm thresholds, diagnose root causes, and deliver clear maintenance actions, turning wireless condition monitoring into a reliability program you can trust, not just another dashboard.
Complete Condition Visibility
Our MistEX & MistLX offer 3-in-1 monitoring of your vital operation assets.
Ultrasound
Ultrasonic condition monitoring uncovers early-stage wear in slow-speed assets by detecting friction at the ultrasonic level. This allows even the smallest issues to be identified and addressed long before they impact uptime.
Lubrication optimization
Slow-speed bearing faults
Low-frequency vibration monitoring uncovers the root causes of mechanical stress in slow-speed machines, including imbalance, misalignment, and looseness.
IP69-rated
FFT spectrum & waveform
Temperature monitoring provides early visibility into overheating, helping identify stressed components before failures disrupt operations.

How Our Monitoring System Protects Your Packaged Goods Assets
We don’t just provide sensors, we build complete reliability programs. Our team partners with you to create a solution that integrates seamlessly with your existing workflow, turning data into actionable insights and measurable results.
1. Assess
We conduct a comprehensive audit of your facility to identify critical assets. By defining the monitoring scope upfront, we ensure maximum ROI before deployment even begins.
2. Install
Our team quickly installs monitoring solutions with minimal disruption to operations. Thresholds are analyzed and configured by our reliability experts, so your assets are monitored with context from day one.
3. Connect
Sensors securely stream data to the UpCastCM™ platform without complex IT requirements, giving you instant, remote visibility into asset health through an intuitive software interface.
4. Analyze
Advanced algorithms flag potential issues, which are then reviewed by our expert analysts for early fault detection. You receive verified alerts, not false alarms, allowing you to act confidently.
5. Collaborate
Our experts work side-by-side with your team to interpret findings and provide actionable guidance. This collaborative approach builds trust, strengthens your reliability culture, and ensures your maintenance program delivers real results.
Engineered for Packaged Goods, Backed by Decades of Industry Expertise
Prescriptive Action
Not just alarms or trend lines. UpTime delivers fault-specific diagnostics with severity levels and clear maintenance recommendations, reviewed by veteran analysts, not simple alerts with automated guesswork. This ensures your packaged goods assets receive actionable guidance that your team can trust.
Our rugged sensors are designed to withstand the unique challenges of packaged goods facilities, including moisture, dust, vibration, and temperature variations common on production lines, conveyors, mixers, and packaging stations.
Proven detection on assets operating at very low speeds, perfect for mixers, conveyors, bottling lines, fillers, and large gearboxes, where early warnings are hardest to capture but most essential.
Proven To Scale
Successfully deployed from pilot programs to enterprise rollouts, including single-site installations exceeding 20,000 sensors and multi-site packaged goods operations across the country.
We deliver consistent payback for packaged goods customers, typically between 2 and 12 months, through reduced failures and optimized maintenance schedules.
On average, customers experience more than a 30% reduction in downtime-related costs when integrating our solutions across production lines and equipment.

Proven Performance Across Multiple Industries
How a Fortune 500 material handling company scaled its uptime.
Situation
The company needed to reduce unplanned downtime and improve planned maintenance scheduling.
Result
By deploying wireless vibration, ultrasonic, and temperature sensors, UpTime delivered real-time visibility into the health of conveyors, gearboxes, motors, and slow-moving equipment. This company experienced:
- A 30% reduction in unplanned downtime
- Optimized maintenance scheduling
- A payback period of less than one year
- Ongoing and consistent support from the UpTime team
Problem
- Older, 3 million square feet facility, making the project large and difficult.
- Relative to the size of the facility, onsite resources are limited.
Solution
UpTime installed approximately 20,000 wireless sensors over 3 million square feet:
- Delivering accurate, specific condition assessments.
- Enabling prioritized maintenance during scheduled downtime.
- Rapid ROI.
The deployment was fully scalable, seamlessly integrating with existing workflows and IT systems, and included remote monitoring through the UpCastCM™ platform.
Result
- Early detection of a lime kiln reducer operating at 34 RPM, preventing a likely failure within six months.
- Reduced downtime through proactive maintenance scheduling.
- Lower repair costs and extended equipment life due to timely intervention.
- Enhanced reliability culture: the mill now has confidence in monitoring its slow-speed assets and scheduling maintenance with precision.
