Samotics has developed and validated unique technology with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) that can predict weeks to months in advance when and why electric motors fail. This can prevent the significant financial losses, energy wastage and environmental pollution resulting from unplanned downtime.

Worldwide there are more than 300 million electrical motors, these motors are the heart of the global industrial economy. 7% of these motors fail each year. Failing motors lead to malfunctioning production lines and infrastructure with major consequential damage, for example: a malfunctioning product line of perishable foodproducts, a stationary baggage belt at an airport, an open bridge in the middle of a city or a leaking pump installation at a chemical plant.

Samotics has more than 80 leading industrial customers. For these customers we monitor the energy consumption of remote electrical motors, analyzes the data in real time and predict more than 90% of potential failures.

My personal specialties: growth strategy, business development and performance improvement. Strongly results orientated, acting with drive and enthusiasm. Pragmatic, with strong analytical skills.
