Introducing... Collatr

In the spirit of our post about working in the open I'd like to introduce our latest project, Collatr.

What's the problem?

Many industries are still managing their production by spreadsheet and powerpoint, or relying on ad-hoc analysis. Many have begun their journey to Industry 4.0 but have stalled as they become overwhelmed by the scale of digitalisation work. Now AI promises to solve all that, but what's the next step?

Whether you're a service engineer or a CEO, you need the right insight at the right time. Ranging from consistent long-term insights into your OEE, MTF and MTE, to deep

For insights to be useful, they depend on a number of things.

• Context - not just what went wrong, but why it went wrong
• Timeliness - you need that information now, not in an overnight batch process
• Feedback - turning root cause analysis into solutions, not just documentation

What does Collatr do?

First up, it handles all your existing machine log data. With a wide variety of integrations, it can pipe (almost) anything to it's optimised data store. No inflexible schemas, no refactoring tables, no data 'swamp'.

Secondly, we can add context including additional sensor, human factor and feedback data. Even high-volume data like images and video can be stored.

Finally, we layer on automation and AI to help separate the signal from the noise, and provide contextualised insights in real-time.

What's so special?

On top of all this rich insight, we've made a system to be private and secure by default. It works in network constrained environments. It can be self-hosted, managed on premises and you can use our Platform-as-a-service option.

We know that user churn and system training can be a challenge, so we're determined to make Collatr as easy to use as possible, whilst retaining enough flexibility to be easily integrated into any workflow.

Finally, we're facing into the future and making Collatr the perfect partner for AI. It turns out that machines need context too. Our live data store puts you in a position to take advantage of the latest developments in machine learning for automation and analysis.

What's next?

We are at the start of our journey. We'd like to bring you along with us, and we'd love your feedback. Sign up below for the latest updates, or contact us if you'd like to know more.
