Frequently Asked Questions

MARKNA Consulting helps businesses modernize their digital systems, improve operations, and explore practical IoT and AI solutions. Our services include digital modernization, nearshore engineering, predictive maintenance pilots, and energy optimization.

We mainly support SMEs, manufacturing companies, technology teams, and organizations that need practical digital, software, IoT, or AI support without unnecessary complexity.

A predictive maintenance pilot is a small first project where we monitor one or a limited number of machines using sensor data, edge devices, and analytics. The goal is to detect early signs of abnormal behavior and evaluate whether predictive maintenance can reduce unplanned downtime.

No. Results depend on the equipment, operating conditions, data quality, implementation scope, and maintenance process. MARKNA can help assess opportunities and build practical pilots, but savings, ROI, uptime improvement, and energy reduction cannot be guaranteed in advance.

Energy optimization means analyzing how machines, equipment, or processes consume energy and identifying possible areas for improvement. This may include monitoring operating hours, idle time, machine load, energy patterns, and production efficiency.

Nearshore engineering means working with skilled software or technical teams from a nearby or aligned region. MARKNA offers senior engineering support from Kosovo for companies that need reliable, cost-effective, and collaborative technical capacity.

Yes. MARKNA is based in Prishtina, Kosovo, and can support clients in Kosovo, the EU, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Canada, and other international markets depending on the project scope and working model.

Pricing depends on the scope, duration, systems involved, available data, integrations, and required deliverables. For small pilots, MARKNA can usually start with a focused discovery phase or limited-scope pilot before a larger implementation.

The best first step is a short discovery discussion. We review your business need, current systems, equipment or software environment, and then suggest a practical next step such as an assessment, pilot, or implementation plan.
