What ODIE finds on live sites
Proof from the field. Real problems caught early on working microgrids.

Five failures, five systems, six weeks
Over six weeks at a single site, ODIE was used to flag five developing problems across five unrelated systems — a failed relay contact, a degrading ignition transformer, valve recession hiding behind a detonation alert, a NOx sensor that had silently stopped reporting, and a gas filter loading up toward a call-out.
Nothing about these failures is alike. Electrical controls, ignition, combustion, emissions, fuel delivery — each with a completely different signature, none of them visible on a generator HMI, and every one of them caught while it was still a maintenance item.

Diagnosing a failure to protect microgrid uptime
A broken piston ring on Cylinder 2 of Generator 4 set off pre-ignition and began progressively destroying the piston and liner. The engine control module logged a knock fault and quietly retarded timing to compensate — but a knock fault tells you a cylinder is misbehaving, not that a piston ring has failed. The first operator-visible event came almost two weeks later, as a forced shutdown.
MNVR reconstructed the whole progression from telemetry — the cylinder, the mechanism, the timeline — and ruled out the obvious suspect along the way.
