Until now industrial units have been using traditional methods to improve yield, quality, efficiency, and uptime. Falkonry addresses these issues by productizing solutions to costly, complex industrial business problems.
Falkonry’s AI model detects the earliest indication of degradation in a client’s machinery/equipment by examining time series data. Unknown pattern of machine behavior is monitored in real-time. Any indication of degradation is returned to Splunk server from which notifications are generated. This helps Falkonry’s industrial clients to leverage predictive and prescriptive analytics, and avert costly failures and minimize production/operational downtime.
