Predikto

Predikto, established in 2012 by CEO Mario Chari, emerged to address the growing need for predictive analytics in the industrial sector. The company was founded with the vision of leveraging machine learning to prevent unexpected equipment failures and optimize maintenance schedules, a concept born from Chari's extensive background in enterprise software and data analytics. Predikto's journey culminated in its acquisition by GE Digital in November 2016, a milestone that integrated its capabilities into a larger industrial ecosystem. The firm's core business revolves around providing a software platform that analyzes historical and real-time operational data from industrial assets. This analysis allows the system to forecast potential equipment breakdowns before they happen.

The primary clients for this service are large industrial companies within sectors such as aviation, transportation, and energy, which operate high-value, critical machinery. By anticipating failures, these clients can significantly reduce costly unplanned downtime and transition from reactive to proactive maintenance strategies. Predikto's business model is based on a software-as-a-service (SaaS) subscription, where customers pay for access to the predictive analytics platform. The platform's main benefit lies in its ability to translate complex data into actionable insights, enabling engineers and maintenance crews to make informed decisions that enhance operational efficiency and safety. The key differentiator is its focus on industrial-specific applications, understanding the unique data signatures of heavy machinery.
