BENEFITS THAT MATTER ON THE FLOORProtect productive time.
Protect productive time.
Make maintenance count.
HYLX connects machine information with the work needed to improve performance. Your team can see the issue, organise the response and retain what it learns.
Start with the machine’s history.
Bring fault records, documents and past work into the investigation. Give the next person a better starting point.
Measure: time to resolutionPlan the work and the parts.
Use condition trends, scheduled tasks, work orders and parts visibility to prepare maintenance before the job begins.
Measure: overdue work and delaysKeep experience in the business.
Record what failed, what was done and what helped. Build equipment knowledge that supports every shift and handover.
Measure: repeat faults and search timeTHE BUSINESS CASEWhat could a few

recovered hours be worth?
Start with one measurable opportunity. Use your own production economics to explore the potential return.
Example inputs — replace these with your figures.
Your improvement assumption, not a HYLX forecast.
Use contribution after extra production costs, not sales revenue.
Include hardware, installation, setup and training. This example is not a quote.
Include any agreed support and other incremental running costs.

Illustrative estimate, not measured customer results or guaranteed savings. Recovered time has value only when it supports useful production or avoids a real cost. Use consistent figures excluding GST; tax, financing, ramp-up and discounting are not modelled.
How the estimate works
Monthly net benefit = recovered hours × net value per hour − ongoing monthly costs. Annual net benefit = monthly net benefit × 12. Simple payback = upfront investment ÷ monthly net benefit. First-year ROI = (annual net benefit − upfront investment) ÷ upfront investment × 100. Avoid counting the same recovered time again as maintenance or labour savings.

02 / CONDITION MONITORING
Listen to what your machine is telling you.
View vibration and temperature readings, follow trends and compare them with a recorded baseline.

- Trend history and baseline comparison
- Sensor status in the equipment view
Screenshots from the HYLX development environment. Readings and records shown are for illustration; monitoring scope depends on the equipment and installation.
EDGE-BASED / ON YOUR SITEIndustrial hardware.
Industrial hardware.
Local intelligence.
HYLX runs on a dedicated industrial PC (IPC) at your premises. Machine readings are processed locally, with operational records stored on the IPC.
Sensors & machine signals
Selected IO-Link sensors measure vibration, temperature, pressure or flow. Suitable machine status signals can also be brought in through digital I/O.
IO-Link + industrial PC
IFM IO-Link masters connect the field hardware to the HYLX IPC over a dedicated monitoring network. The application and its data run on site.
One working environment
Review machine activity, condition trends, maintenance, work orders, parts and equipment knowledge in the HYLX interface.
Local operation without a cloud dependency.
Day-to-day monitoring runs locally without an internet connection, while the IPC and monitoring hardware remain powered and connected. Internet access is used for installation, updates and any agreed remote support.
Hardware selected for the job.
The IPC specification, sensor package, signal connections and installation scope are agreed after reviewing your equipment. Start with a defined group of machines and the information that matters.
PRACTICAL ENGINEERING. MEASURABLE PROGRESS.From a machine problem
From a machine problem
to a useful next step.
INHOTEK brings together equipment understanding, maintenance planning and service workflow experience. HYLX gives that work a shared source of information.
Identify the loss worth tackling.
Review recurring breakdowns, maintenance gaps and lost production time. Define a baseline and the result you want to measure.
Scope the hardware and the workflow.
Agree the IPC, sensors and connections, along with the maintenance tasks, equipment records and people who will use the information.
Demonstrate, review and improve.
Start with an agreed demonstration or pilot. Review the evidence with your team and use it to prioritise the next maintenance or improvement action.

Founder’s career experience
“I do not believe software should make a factory look good. I believe it should help a factory get better.”
I’m Jaco, founder of INHOTEK and a trade-qualified Machine Tool Millwright. My career has taken me from hands-on fault finding and machine installation into service management and technical operations leadership.
I’ve built remote support operations, delivered a condition-monitoring service program, re-engaged customers in preventive maintenance and developed a case-management system used in daily service work.
That experience shapes INHOTEK: understand the equipment, organise the response and keep the knowledge. HYLX brings the information together so people can make better maintenance and operating decisions.
