Dianomic Systems and Boon Logic announced a partnership at this week’s Aveva World in Paris to deliver anomaly detection for industrial data pipelines and the IoT.

The integration of Minnesota-based Boon Logic’s unsupervised machine-learning technology with Californian firm Dianomic’s FogLamp platform could drive value across multiple industries.

Dianomic Systems specialises in industrial computing and Boon Logic is a pioneer in embedded machine learning. Their partnership aims to deliver faster, more scalable anomaly detection for thousands of performance metrics across a wide range of industries, along with real-time data quality inspection before data are sent and stored in systems of record, operational systems or clouds.

The announcement was made this week at Aveva World (events.aveva.com/aw-2024) where Dianomic presented a use case with RTE (www.rte-france.com), the French power transmission system operator.

The collaboration integrates Boon Logic’s Amber AI technology (boonlogic.com/amber) into Dianomic’s FogLamp Suite (dianomic.com/product-foglamp) platform, providing advancements in operational technology (OT) data management and monitoring of sensors, parts, assets and product condition. This combination delivers benefits to sectors including:

  • Manufacturing: earlier detection of equipment failures, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
  • Energy: improved monitoring of power generation and distribution systems for enhanced grid stability.
  • Transportation: real-time analysis of vehicle telemetry data for predictive maintenance and safety.
  • Pharmaceuticals: enhanced monitoring of manufacturing processes to ensure product quality, compliance and safety.

“By partnering with Boon Logic and integrating Amber AI into FogLamp, we’re empowering our customers with unparalleled anomaly detection capabilities,” said Tom Arthur, CEO of Dianomic Systems (Dianomic.com). “This collaboration marks a significant leap forward in industrial data analytics and intelligent automation.”

Amber is an AI-based predictive maintenance tool that leverages Boon Logic’s patented nano-clustering technology to improve unsupervised machine learning. Amber simplifies and accelerates AI development and deployment, particularly in the domains of visual inspection and preventive maintenance. Benefits of the integration with FogLamp include real-time anomaly detection: leveraging Amber AI’s unsupervised machine-learning algorithms, FogLamp can now identify anomalies in streaming data with millisecond latency. Leveraging the FogLamp Suite, Amber AI can be used on any data source integrated with any data destination.

It can efficiently process thousands of sensor inputs and performance metrics simultaneously across the enterprise.

Amber AI’s self-learning capabilities allow it to adjust automatically to changing conditions without manual retraining.

Before data are sent to historians, operational systems or the cloud, Amber AI can identify and flag potential data quality issues, such as sensor failures or unexpected trends. FogLamp can then notify, clean and enforce policies for bad data, preventing their spread.

“We’re excited to join forces with Dianomic to bring Amber AI’s advanced anomaly detection and data quality inspection to a broader range of industrial applications,” said Grant Goris, CEO of Boon Logic. “This integration will help businesses across sectors to identify issues faster, optimise operations and ensure data integrity.” Founded in 2018, Boon Logic (boonlogic.com) is a pioneer in the field of artificial intelligence.
