Senseye's cloud-based machine reliability and performance solution has helped manufacturers reduce operations and maintenance costs by automatically identifying machine failure and remaining useful life through machine learning algorithms fed with data from the Industrial IoT.

 

The transaction was finalized on June 1, 2022, with the acquisition complementing Siemens' Digital Enterprise solutions services. Senseye's innovative predictive technology and deep expertise, coupled with Siemens' global presence and extensive industry know-how, will allow customers worldwide to benefit from a seamless, integrated Industry 4.0 solution.

 

Asset intelligence solutions have been at the heart of Senseye's mission since its founding in 2014. Senseye scalable predictive maintenance solution uses cutting-edge machine learning and AI to reduce unplanned downtime by 50% and maintenance costs by 30%.
