Catch failures before the line stops.

Machines stream telemetry around the clock. Blackbox condenses it to the signals that matter, so AI can watch every machine — not just the critical few — without an unaffordable bill.

The problem, in your words

Unplanned downtime is expensive. Watching every machine shouldn’t be.

Surprise breakdowns

A failed bearing or pump stops the line and the schedule. Most failures show early signs nobody had time to see.

Too much data to watch

Thousands of tags per line, sampled every second. Teams watch a handful of dashboards and miss the rest.

AI that costs too much to run

Sending every reading to an AI model continuously costs more than many of the failures it would catch.

Your data today

Your machines already tell you what’s wrong.

The signals are in your PLCs, historians and maintenance logs. The hard part is reading all of it, continuously, at a cost that makes sense.

Althyra reads from the systems you already run. Nothing to rip out, and no changes to control logic.

What becomes possible

AI that watches everything, affordably.

With less to read per request, AI can monitor continuously instead of sampling. Here’s what that makes possible.

Predictive maintenance

Spot failure patterns days before breakdown and schedule the fix into planned downtime.

Root-cause support

Link a quality or downtime event to what the machines were doing just before it.

OEE and performance

See where availability and performance are lost, machine by machine.

Quality early warning

Catch process drift that leads to scrap before the parts are made.

Energy use

Find machines using more power than they should for the same output.

Maintenance copilots

Give technicians a plain-language summary of what a machine is doing and why.

For manufacturing, Atlas — our predictive maintenance application — is built for this, and runs on Blackbox. We’re taking pilot partners now.

How a pilot works

Start small. Prove it on real data.

  1. Pick one scope

    One line, asset group, region or route — somewhere a better early warning is worth real money.

  2. Connect read-only

    Althyra reads from your existing systems. It doesn’t write to them or touch control logic.

  3. Run alongside your team

    Blackbox and AI flag what they see. Your engineers review every finding.

  4. Review the results

    Together we measure what was caught, what it would have cost, and decide what’s next.

Questions

Questions teams ask first.

Does Althyra control our equipment?

No. Althyra reads data from your existing systems and gives recommendations. It doesn’t write to control systems, and your team approves every action.

Do we need new sensors or systems?

Usually not. We start with the data you already collect and the systems you already run.

Which AI model does it use?

Blackbox works with any model — hosted AI APIs, open-source models or your own — so it fits your security and vendor requirements.

What does a pilot cost?

Pilot scope and pricing are agreed with you up front, based on the machines and data involved.

How is our data handled?

Data access, confidentiality and retention are agreed with you before the pilot starts. Deployment is scoped to fit your security needs.
