Nicolaides, a trusted maintenance provider in Chile, upgraded CMPC Laja’s pulp mill with 160 I-Care sensors and Viking Analytics’ AI platform to streamline machine monitoring. Previously reliant on manual data review, the team now benefits from real-time, prioritized insights—saving time and enabling early interventions. In one case, AI flagged cavitation in a vacuum pump, helping prevent environmental risk. With each unplanned stop costing an estimated $65K, the impact is clear: smarter maintenance, faster response, and measurable savings.
Too much data, not enough time to find the faults
Avoided $65K+ in downtime costs per incident through early fault detection
The real value is preventive diagnostics weeks or even months in advance; CMPC can confirm findings in the field and act before failures ever happen.
