Press Release: New York, NY. December 11 2025— ei³, a leading provider of secure IIoT and AI-powered solutions for industrial machine builders and manufacturers, today announced a major expansion of ConnectedAI, the company’s strategic vision for empowering industrial organizations with practical, reliable, and sustainable AI.

ConnectedAI has served for years as the banner for ei³’s applied machine-learning capabilities. With today’s announcement, ei³ introduces a new multi-track roadmap that brings AI closer to the machines, the people, and the decisions that drive modern manufacturing.

“Industrial AI must be grounded, secure, and deeply aware of machine context. ConnectedAI allows us to deliver real value, not hype, by combining our secure connectivity, structured data, and two decades of operational expertise.”

— Spencer Cramer, founder and CEO of ei³

 

Three tracks, one vision: Practical AI for the factory floor

 

 

 

 

Starting with Remote Service: Solving a critical industry challenge

Machine builders continue to face resistance from enterprise manufacturers who demand stronger oversight and transparency in remote access. Manual log reviews are inconsistent and insufficient to meet modern cybersecurity expectations. The first ConnectedAI Advisor will directly address this gap.

“Our SERVICE Advisor gives machine builders and their customers the visibility they have been asking for. It provides real-time insights into every remote session, delivered in plain language. This capability will help OEMs win deals that were previously blocked by security concerns.”

Lauren Markofsky, Director of Marketing at ei³

 

Built on ei³’s Secure, Proven Infrastructure

ConnectedAI is powered by ei³’s secure-by-design platform, which connects tens of thousands of machines worldwide and processes more than one billion data points every day. Decades of structured machine data, combined with secure APIs and private data centers in the U.S., Germany, and China, provide a unique foundation for reliable industrial AI.
