Using the Pathfindr platform, our customer gains more availability and less downtime, and can deliver on its promises more effectively.
Making engines intelligent
Our customer powers the largest yachts, the strongest tugboats and the biggest land vehicles in the world, and provides energy for the world’s most important mission-critical applications.
By using the Pathfindr platform, our customer gathers actionable insight allows our customer to undertake more effective routine servicing, and to intervene if any anomalies appear.
What our customers say
The pilot installation was fully installed in one day with no disruption to production.
Our average time to find assets has been reduced by 80%.
We’ve been trying for years to get this type of plant insight. Now we have it at our fingertips.
