Ontonix and Shiratech announce strategic partnership

Como, 23-rd July, 2020.

Ontonix, a technology company delivering Quantitative Complexity Management (QCM) hardware and software (HW & SW) for anomaly detection and early warnings, and Shiratech, a company developing condition monitoring and predictive maintenance technologies, have announced a new partnership and collaboration agreement.

Shiratech combines extensive hardware design expertise with the benefits of advanced sensor-driven data monitoring and artificial intelligence. The company offers End-to-End solutions from Sensor to Cloud which reduce maintenance costs and extend the operation time of a wide spectrum of assets.

Shiratech’s flagship product, iCOMOX – Intelligent Condition Monitoring Box –offers an Industry 4.0 ready End-to-End solution for condition-based monitoring, anomaly detection and predictive maintenance of industrial equipment, assets and structures.

Ontonix delivers HW and SW solutions which provide early warnings of malfunctions, attacks and systemic collapses of complex and mission-critical systems, mainly for military applications. The key characteristic of QCM technology is that it detects anomalies and determines their causes without the use of Machine Learning or pattern recognition.

“We believe  the combination of our respective technologies will produce a unique, non-intrusive systemic monitoring capability which does not need to access a CAN bus or any other source of sensor data” said Dr. Jacek Marczyk, founder and president of Ontonix.

“The collaboration between Shiratech and Ontonix will deliver significant and  immediate added value to our global customers, allowing them to reduce maintenance costs and improve the efficiency of the ASSET monitor as well as reduce  capital expenditure. By working with Ontonix, we can offer customers a complete solution which is simple to implement, “said David Vaktor, CEO of Shiratech.
