Predictant is an innovative start up focused on using AI to accurately measure tension in large industrial bolts (currently focused on the Wind Turbine industry). Using our patented method, and patent pending hardware, coupled with advanced AI models, Predictant reduces the maintenance and inspection time on large structures by up to 90% vs. traditional methods. Predictant has recently obtained critical Wind Energy certifications and is now demonstrating the technology to a select list of industry leading OEMs and maintenance companies while preparing for rapid growth next year. Predictant is part of the Invica Group, a London-based company that supports a worldwide portfolio of companies focused on sustainability.
