With LIFECYCLE, machine builders can:
- Boost spare parts sales using resupply contracts based on AI predictions, ensuring availability of spare parts without increasing on-site inventory
- Avoid long lead times by anticipating the failure of highly specialized machine parts, thereby avoiding costly machine downtime while maintaining customer loyalty and trust
- Integrate machine information for timely parts dispatch and service team visits
- Understand the actual useful life of parts in machines by monitoring fleet replacement schedules
Machine operators experience a variety of benefits, too, such as:
- Better job planning due to an accurate and real-time understanding of machine and tooling conditions
- Easily monitor the impact of changing parameters and operating conditions
- Reduce energy consumption by always using in-spec parts
- Understand if the tooling required for a job is in good condition
LIFECYCLE vastly improves the capabilities of Tool/Die Makers and Owners by:
- Tracking the useful life of tools, including dies, molds, screws, and knives, across machines, tool rooms, and various plant sites
- Enabling advanced business models like automatic reconditioning strategies
- Tracking the tool and die lifecycles from creation to end

Your Machines without LIFECYCLE
Without a working predictive maintenance strategy, owners, builders and operators are left with utilizing Break-fix, Periodic or Preventative methods. Machines seem to always break down before essential jobs, or the right specialized parts are unavailable. Without LIFECYCLE, stakeholders experience a host of problems that include:
- Unpredictable machine failure
- Increased cost due to redundant part purchase and stocking
- Extensive, often tedious planning to anticipate the correct time for replacement
- Regular machine downtime due to maintenance schedules
- Impact on customer relationships due to unreliable operation and delivery schedules
- More time and resources spent by technical staff on-site
- Safety risks for employees & other elements on the shop floor
- Unpredictable machine failure
- Increased cost due to redundant part purchase and stocking
- Safety risks for employees and other elements on the shop floor
- Extensive, often tedious planning to anticipate the correct time for replacement
- Regular machine downtime due to maintenance schedules
- More time and resources spent by technical staff on-site
- Impact on customer relationships due to unreliable operation and delivery schedules, and many more!
The ei3 Advantage
Remaining Useful Life (RUL) predictions
ei3’s ConnectedAI determines the likelihood of part replacement needs, allowing you to optimize machine usage and avoid unplanned downtime.
Adaptive
Depending on their requirements, end users are free to define tool rooms, parts, and tools used on equipment. Includes a standard QR-Code to be printed on a label or engraved on the tool.
Integration-Ready
ei3 provides readymade integration with existing RFID methods, and central back-end systems such as Salesforce. ei3 Salesforce connector helps link part and maintenance actions with suppliers.
Real-time Alerting System
Set user-defined alerts for stakeholders using ei3’s highly configurable MONITOR app, which synergizes well with LIFECYCLE.
Secure and Confidential
Powered by ConnectedAI, LIFECYCLE uses a proprietary library of prediction algorithms to determine the Actual Used Life (AUL) and Remaining Used Life (RUL) of the machine. LIFECYCLE and MONITOR examine and analyze machine operations, conditions and steps which then goes into determining part wear-and-tear, consumable use, assembly stress and maintenance schedules.
Easy Integration (MES, ERP and more)
Gives operators the ability to manage parts, assemblies of parts, and maintenance actions on the system of their choice, including Bar Code and RFID tool systems.
No-code
As easy as plug-and-play. Machine owners and OEMs can configure it to manage parts, assemblies, maintenance actions, tools and more.
Pay for what you need and use
Pay as you go. Includes ten configurable daily predictions per machine with the LIFECYCLE subscription.

Incorporating LIFECYCLE on the shop floor
Connect and Define
Connect and monitor every asset, from parts on the machine to independent parts with ei3. Users can set templates, tools, parts, settings and more for specific groups of machines. These can be standardized across predefined machine groups, so when new machines are added, users can apply the template and begin monitoring immediately.
Analyze
