Industrial state blindness is a critical issue affecting industrial operations worldwide. The inability to perceive real-time equipment states such as internal pressure, temperature, or vibration leads to inefficiencies, safety failures, and operational downtime. This problem is compounded by human error, accounting for 80-90% of $3 trillion in annual global losses.

Current tools, including SCADA systems and dashboards, fail to bridge the gap between abstract data and physical equipment. Workers must rely on mental mapping, outdated gauges, and second-hand information, increasing cognitive overload and decision-making delays. Additionally, the retirement of 50% of experienced operators over the next decade exacerbates the readiness gap, leaving industries vulnerable to operational risks.
