Praemo President Paul Boris explained how Praemo’s unique approach to industrial machine learning is disrupting the time to value for new levels of industrial productivity using machine learning. Even at operations considered to be world-class, there are significant opportunities to improve throughput, cost, and productivity. Continuous improvement through data visibility and business intelligence has largely plateaued. Machine learning offers an exciting path to a step change in performance and competitive advantage, but current machine learning solutions are not working for industrial operations.

Leveraging IoT and operational data as-is, where-is, Praemo accelerates the adoption of AI and Machine Learning for manufacturing and industrial operators. This unique approach eliminates costly and time-consuming data preparation, speeds time to value and virtually eliminates operational risk.
