InduQT lets a UK manufacturer start monitoring machines in an afternoon: fit an off-the-shelf sensor (a Shelly energy meter on a compressor, a current clamp on a CNC, a Bluetooth tag in a chiller), publish it over MQTT, check the readings in Claude, and InduQT learns each machine’s normal and warns before it fails. It is free for three machines, priced per machine after that with unlimited users, and we set it up for free with a 12-month plan.
Built for
- Food and drink producers
- Machine shops and contract manufacturers
- Metals, foundries and fabrication
- Process and utilities
How it works
- Pick the question you want answered and the guide that answers it.
- Buy the sensor from the maker or a UK distributor: typically £15–120 a machine.
- Publish over MQTT to a Raspberry Pi in the plant, and check the readings with Claude.
- Send them to InduQT: Claude creates the machine and the key for you.
