Its core solutions lie in condition-based monitoring and predictive maintenance to help companies prevent unplanned downtime of heavy machinery. It also uses Computer Vision to improve workplace safety and save lives.
Its sound-first predictive maintenance platform is done by deploying its proprietary IoT sound sensors and GINA AI platform. GINA picks up sound anomalies, which indicate potential machine issues, so that such issues can be resolved before any catastrophic breakdowns happen, helping clients save millions of dollars in the process.
Groundup.ai’s solutions support industrial companies to take a proactive approach to machinery reliability and workplace safety, ultimately helping to improve the lives and work conditions of those in the industrial sector.
Its solutions have been deployed across various industries, including manufacturing, maritime, and construction.
