Tractian provides asset intelligence solutions that combine hardware sensors and AI software to monitor machine health in real time, so industrial teams can catch failures before they happen, prioritize what matters, and act with confidence. Our approach is built on physical AI: sensors deployed directly on critical assets, feeding AI models trained on data from the largest industrial database available. The result is asset intelligence that goes beyond alerts, telling you whats wrong, why, and what to do next before a failure becomes a breakdown. Trusted by 1,500+ manufacturers across the Americas - including McKesson, Air Liquide, Verizon, Cummins, Ingredion, and Whirlpool - Tractian has returned $304M to customers through earlier failure detection and helped teams avoid 97,631 hours of downtime. Tractian was named to the Forbes AI 50 and ranked #24 Fastest-Growing Company in North America on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500™. A smarter way to monitor, prioritize, and act.
