Transform Maintenance into Intelligence

By combining predictive analytics, life cycle cost optimisation, and cost-benefit analysis, we help manufacturers make smarter decisions that extend equipment life, reduce downtime, and unlock measurable value. MaintWise is where engineering meets economics — delivering maintenance strategies that pay off today and sustain tomorrow.

About us

MaintWise is a research-led capability from Aston University, progressed in the EU RECLAIM project. We specialise in predictive maintenance planning with life cycle cost and cost-benefit analysis to help manufacturers extend asset life and realise measurable value. Find more about the team →

Core capabilities

Four pillars combine engineering reliability with economic value.

Predictive Maintenance Planning

Optimise strategy & intervals using reliability and degradation models, balancing cost, availability, and risk.

Life Cycle Cost (LCC) Analysis

Total cost of ownership, sensitivity & uncertainty, and value scenarios across the asset lifetime.

Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA)

Quantify business impact for equipment-level or factory-level programs; available as a standalone service and in-tool.

Digital Twin for PdM

Simulate operations, test what-ifs, and de-risk investments. Roadmap to real-time IoT integration.

How it works

A focused pipeline from data to decisions.

1

Ingest

Load CMMS/ERP/SCADA exports (CSV/SQL), OR live IoT sensors streams.

2

Model

Reliability & cost models capture degradation, failures, and maintenance effects.

3

Optimise

Search candidate strategies & find ones that maximise reliability and minimise costs.

4

Decide

Clear recommendations with ROI/LCC/CBA snapshot and exportable reports.
