Engineering Analytics

Modern industrial operations generate vast amounts of data—but without the right analysis and structure, that data rarely translates into better decisions or lower costs. At Drive Train Solutions (Pty) Ltd, we bridge the gap between engineering systems and business performance through engineering analytics, performance dashboards, and reliability-focused consulting.

Our Engineering Analytics & Performance Dashboard services transform operational, maintenance, and financial data into clear, practical insights. We integrate directly with PLCs, automation systems, historians, and existing data sources to develop custom dashboards tailored to your plant and management needs. Typical metrics include equipment availability, downtime trends, energy usage, maintenance cost per asset, and cost per unit produced. By presenting this information in a clear, structured format, we enable faster, fact-based decision-making across operations, engineering, and management teams.

Unlike generic reporting tools, DTS dashboards are built with a deep understanding of industrial processes. We focus on the metrics that truly drive performance, cost, and risk—ensuring that dashboards are not only informative, but actively used to manage and improve operations. Our solutions are low CAPEX, scalable, and designed for long-term ownership by our clients.

Complementing our analytics offering, DTS provides Maintenance Cost Reduction & Reliability Consulting to help organisations control escalating maintenance spend and improve asset reliability. Using structured engineering and financial analysis, we identify the root causes of recurring failures, assess repair versus replacement decisions, and highlight opportunities to extend equipment life while reducing downtime.

Our approach combines failure trend analysis, cost modelling, and risk assessment to deliver clear, prioritised recommendations. Whether addressing chronic breakdowns, ageing equipment, or rising spare part costs, DTS provides practical guidance supported by data and engineering insight.

With decades of combined experience in engineering, automation, and cost management—particularly within food and process manufacturing environments—DTS is uniquely positioned to help clients not only design and repair systems, but also optimize their performance and total cost of ownership.

At DTS, we believe that strong engineering decisions are those that make technical, operational, and financial sense. Our analytics and reliability services empower clients to operate more efficiently, reduce risk, and extract maximum value from their assets.
