Who We Are

• Asset Life Extension – With our patented solution in the glass and steel industry, we help manufacturers in over 40 countries make data-driven decisions using sensors, data, and AI. This results in longer asset campaigns with higher annual production.
• Enabling the next generation of workers – Heavy industry has relied on the experience of employees who worked for 20-30 years in one plant.
