Introducing AI-Powered Industrial Automation
Unplanned equipment downtime cost manufacturers more than $1.5 trillion globally per year, a problem that grows more expensive annually. The cost of a single hour of downtime has surged by 50% in just two years.

Via Automation’s Via Connect and Via Co-Pilot powers real-time, AI-driven decisions across the factory floor, enhancing efficiency, optimizing operations, reducing unplanned downtime, elevating performance across all areas.

Via Connect
Traditional solutions rely on dashboards and complex visualizations that don't solve the root problem. Via Connect seamlessly offers data integration at the edge by acting as the digital fabric between assets, IoT sensors and enterprise systems. Via Connect can be connected into digital twin models to provide holistic monitoring capabilities as a software development kit (SDK) for equipment vendors to integrate with their equipment.

With its edge-ready processing capabilities, Via Connect can detect low-latency anomalies directly at the factory floor and integrates with manufacturing execution systems (MES), enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and cloud platforms including AWS, Azure and Databricks using out-of-the box connectors.

For predictive maintenance, it ensures unified data collection of real-time vibration, temperature and process signals streamed from machines and IoT endpoints. Using Via Connect, predictive models can access clean, contextualized data without integration bottlenecks, one of the biggest hurdles in scaling predictive maintenance initiatives.

Via Co-Pilot
Where Connect enables data orchestration, Via Co-Pilot elevates operational intelligence, acting as a decision assistant to unite humans with AI tools for smarter decision making.

Via Co-Pilot turns predictive maintenance from a “black-box algorithm” into a trusted co-worker—accelerating adoption and building operator confidence by providing AI-Driven insights for warnings of equipment degradation using machine learning models trained on sensor data. Its diagnostics are easily explainable, interpretable and highlight root causes, such as bearing wear or lubrication breakdown. It enables collaborative workflows for engineers, operators and managers to interact with AI that delivers recommendations, validate insights and trigger automated work orders

It also offers continuous learning opportunities with its feedback loops that improve model accuracy over time and adapt to new operating conditions.

Via Automation can AI enable any equipment or fab with Via Connect and Via Co-pilot. An intuitive interface gives manufacturing teams the ability to build and deploy custom workflows without deep AI expertise and focus on keeping their equipment running smoothly and efficiently.

Early results show that Via Connect and Via Co-Pilot together reduce unplanned downtime by between 30-40% and maintenance costs by between 15-20%. They extend asset life by about 25% and improve operator safety and compliance reporting.
