The Industrial AI Platform with a Data Science-First Approach

Uptake’s applications are built on top of its industrial AI and IoT platform. The company put powerful AI and machine learning to work for its customers, using its pre-trained data science models and industry-specific content to turn mountains of data into actionable insights that drive financial outcomes.

AI & Machine Learning Engines

Industrial AI and machine learning are the core building blocks of Uptake’s platform. Made for fast results, its engines provide a simple framework, enabling you to leverage Uptake’s deep knowledge and expertise, accelerate your time to insight and inform smarter decision-making.

• Failure Prediction: Predicts probability of future failures with historical data plus current conditions
• Recommendations: Assesses current conditions plus likely scenarios, suggesting next steps and fixes
• Noise Filtering: Filters out unnecessary noise from raw data
• Label Correction: Fixes maintenance records for accurate labeling
• Image Analytics: Turns imagery into situational change analytics
• Dynamic Rules: Uses historical data and custom logic to generate rules for alerting
• Anomaly Detection: Analyzes current conditions to identify deviations from normal operating behavior
• Fuel Management: Uses historical fuel consumption and operational context to identify inefficient assets and operators

Data Science Catalog & Model Manager

The company has spent years automating the most challenging aspects of the industrial data science process so you can quickly create models that drive financial outcomes for your business. Use its models or configure your own in its one-stop shop for all available models.

Data Science Catalog: Data Science Catalog gives you access to a vast library of pre-built models that quickly gets you to insights on many known asset types, and a place to browse and configure each of those models alongside their own custom ones.

Model Manager: Model Manager lets you run model performance tests on new models alongside production data before releasing them to live applications. It also manages DS model versioning, training metrics, and insight trends.

Data Sources

Uptake’s fully managed platform easily integrates with your existing technology infrastructure, enabling you to freely share data and insights across your organization. Connect disparate data streams in real time for a single source of truth across your enterprise.

Data Types: Easily connect to any data source, from machine and enterprise data to ambient data like market information and operational benchmarks.
