Grace Engineered Products moves into Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) with Civionics Acquisition
Grace Engineered Products acquires Civionics Inc., expands product portfolio into new generation of wireless predictive maintenance technologies
Grace Engineered Products announces the acquisition of Civionics—the creators of Percēv™ IIoT predictive sensing technology. Artificial Intelligence (AI) built into each Percēv™ wireless sensing node maximizes battery life and enables predictive maintenance capabilities to be easily deployed on both new and legacy assets. The technology helps users find failures before they occur. Their proven industrial communications and edge processing capabilities create unsurpassed uptime benefits for both operations and maintenance managers.
In 2005, Civionics CTO, Andy Zimmerman Ph.D., and CSO, Jerry Lynch Ph.D. conceived the precursor to today’s Percēv™ technology. For over a decade they have successfully deployed sensors onto civil infrastructure to identify and quantify the health of monitored bridges, buildings, ships and wind turbines. With a decade of insight into the demands of predictive sensing systems in the civil ecosystem, Percēv™ technology found its way to industrial predictive maintenance applications.
