Case Study: Tidewater Block improves equipment reliability with CloudHesive and AWS Monitron

Tidewater Block - Customer Case Study

Tidewater Block is a family-owned manufacturer and distributor of building and masonry products serving commercial and federal customers in eastern Virginia. The company faced a challenge common to brick and block manufacturing: harsh operating conditions that increase wear, corrosion, and downtime, making it difficult to keep equipment reliable and maintenance windows limited. CloudHesive helped address this with AWS Monitron.

CloudHesive deployed Amazon Monitron, using sensors, gateways, machine learning, and a mobile app to monitor vibration and temperature data and detect abnormal machine patterns. The solution helps Tidewater Block predict equipment failures before they happen, enabling scheduled maintenance instead of unexpected breakdowns. While no specific numeric ROI was provided, the expected impact is reduced downtime and improved production continuity.
