Utility / Wastewater
Encina Waste Water Authority — Utility Asset Monitoring with Early Fire Detection

How Encina deployed Smart-LX® to gather continuous thermal intelligence , reducing the frequency of fire-preventing maintenance they were performing. Time and money saved, and greatly improved fire protection!

Utility
Peaking Plant Asset Management — Automated Switchgear Maintenance Scheduling and Data GEV

An Illinois municipality serving 25,000 citizens required utility asset management software with on-site data gathering, entry, and validation. Smart-LX® 10.0 was the only bidder with NETA field experience offering true custom creation — not configuration — at significantly less cost than competitors, with a license maintenance fee less than half the nearest bid.

Utility
St. Joseph Energy Center — Private Power Plant CMMS Integration

One of Indiana's largest power plants needed a NERC-compliant, CIS-compliant CMMS built custom for their operations. Smart-LX® 10.0 delivered at approximately 20% of the nearest competitor's cost. NERC compliance is now handled with a simple .zip file download, and maintenance schedules can be projected years in advance.

Steel / Heavy Manufacturing
Critical Vessel Monitoring — Refractory Lining Health in Steel Manufacturing

A steel manufacturer uses Smart-LX® to continuously monitor refractory lining thickness, receiving advance warnings before lining failure — eliminating unplanned vessel shutdowns.

Manufacturing / Adhesives
Adhesive Process Monitoring — Bead Integrity and Hopper Level Detection

Smart-LX® Analytics monitors adhesive hoppers and bead application in real time, flagging skips or misses before they reach the next process — preventing line shutdowns.

Steel / Heat Treatment
Heat Treat Part Count — Accurate Bundle Counts and Verified Heat Treatment

A steel rod manufacturer eliminates over- and under-shipment by using Smart-LX® to count rods and verify heat treatment compliance before bundles are shipped.

Automotive / Stamping
Hot Metal Stamp — Heat and Quench Verification for Automaker Compliance

Stamping facilities use Smart-LX® to confirm that every part achieves the required heat and quench temperature signatures — failing non-conforming parts before they enter the next process.

Steel / Furnace Operations
Slag Detection — Stopping the Pour Before Slag Contaminates the Ladle

Smart-LX® monitors steel tapping in real time, detecting when molten slag begins to appear in the pour and triggering an automatic stop — protecting ladle quality and downstream processes.

Wildfire / Infrastructure
Wildfire Prevention, Detection, and Response Using Smart-LX®

An overview of how Smart-LX® Analytics is deployed across high-risk wildfire zones — providing pre-fire warnings, active alarms, and suppression system actuation from a single open platform.

Recycling / Fire Detection
Early Fire Detection with Vehicle Monitoring at Multi-Site Recycling Operations

A large national recycler eliminates hundreds of daily false alarms by replacing threshold-based systems with Smart-LX® Analytics — enabling precise fire detection across vehicles and equipment at multiple sites.

Manufacturing / Adhesives
Glue Bead Monitoring — Precision Adhesive Verification with Smart-LX® Analytics

Using a Smart-LX® Sensor Gateway and IR camera, manufacturers get real-time alerts when glue beads skip or miss — catching defects before they move downstream and cause line shutdowns.

Healthcare
Delnor Hospital Substation — Critical Asset Management

Providing reliable power to a major hospital demands real-time visibility into every critical asset. Smart-LX® 10.0 was implemented to surface asset information, available spares, and all supporting documentation instantly — so field technicians can make informed decisions no matter what arises.

Municipal
High Voltage Substations — Automated Inspection Protocol

To meet State regulatory requirements, a municipality needed a structured inspection process covering everything from fire extinguisher validity to wastewater drip traps. Smart-LX® 10.0 delivered a custom module that guides technicians through inspections by phone or tablet, archives results historically, and compiles records for insurance and regulatory submission — saving significant time.

House of Worship
St. Mark's Lutheran Church — Churchmouse™ Module Integration

Managing building maintenance and regulatory compliance is no small task for a house of worship. Smart-LX® 10.0's Churchmouse™ integration gave St. Mark's Lutheran Church a fully custom solution — managing all critical assets from HVAC to pumps to fire extinguishers — at a lower cost than an off-the-shelf alternative, with simple audit and budgeting workflows built in.

Manufacturing
Caterpillar Engines — Automated Periodic Maintenance and CMMS Integration

Caterpillar field technicians performing EPA-required periodic engine maintenance at a peaker plant had no integrated workflow between the maintenance manual and recordkeeping. Smart-LX® 10.0 built an automated process allowing technicians to follow protocol, complete maintenance, and submit reports — all from a phone or tablet — with issues flagged and tracked in real time.

Municipal
Geneva, Illinois — Critical Asset Management with Vendor and CMMS Integration

When time is critical, knowing who to call matters. For Geneva, Illinois, Smart-LX® houses user manuals for each device alongside the vendor that supplied it — enabling fast, organized outreach when issues arise and keeping critical asset management fully integrated.

Municipal
Municipal GIS/Mapping — Custom Substation Mapping for Field Workers

Field workers need instant mobile access to user manuals, device information, and location data — not a desk. Smart-LX® created a custom municipal mapping solution using the city's own maps for less than 20% of the nearest competitor's bid, giving administrators a clearer operational view and putting critical information in technicians' hands wherever they are.
