DISCOVER ei3

OUR PURPOSE

At ei3 we are committed to using the power of Industrial IoT and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to make industries more efficient to build a sustainable future and improve our collective quality of life

Our work is the logical continuation of the industrialization that started more than 100 years ago, as it befits the challenges of the 21st century: Human innovation has taken us from the steam engine to industrial automation, and has fueled prosperity around the globe. But operational efficiencies are reaching saturation and the indiscriminate use of resources is beginning to limit further growth. We have reached a turning point where new approaches are necessary – approaches that balance improvements in efficiency with the responsible use of resources.

ei3 started in 1999. Since the beginning ei3 has been dedicated to improving the machines and processes that make our world: From our first installation in New York to over 100,000 connected machines, buildings, and industrial assets in more than 100 countries, we have developed solutions that are both sustainable and meaningful. We accomplish this by continuously collecting production, machine, and process data, and applying sound data science. And now, with ConnectedAI, we are delivering the next-level of operational efficiency.

OUR VISION

Create technology to help save the planet and secure a sustainable future

OUR MISSION

Provide easy-to-deploy, secure, and scalable ConnectedAI solutions to help manufacturers achieve sustainable growth, increase production quality, reduce waste, and save energy

Our teams of engineers, network experts, cybersecurity specialists, and data scientists build technology that fuels innovation, growth, and opportunity for our customers. With years of experience in industrial automation and artificial intelligence, our executive team is the guiding force behind our company and is helping move industries forward.
