Detailed Review
Knowtion sells PREDICTO as a combination: an AI model set plus the iCOMOX multisensor, which carries five integrated sensors and delivers ready for use. The company describes it as a way to detect motor faults before costly failures occur.
Knowtion GmbH is entered at HRB 711787 in Mannheim, and its imprint lists the managing directors. Its other business covers embedded and safety-critical software, so PREDICTO is one line among several.
Analysis at the edge
The site stresses that analytics run directly on the edge device and that asset data stays secure, so the volume sent upstream is small. Users can monitor assets from anywhere.
Three forecast areas
PREDICTO names bearing damage, cooling disturbances and drive faults in electric motors, plus deviation detection and trend analysis. The numbers on the page (50 percent less unplanned downtime, 30 percent lower maintenance cost) are the company's own claims.
Ready-to-run equipment
The iCOMOX firmware can be downloaded from the site, and a live demo can be booked. The site is written German first.
Limitations to Consider
PREDICTO concentrates on electric motors, so it will not cover compressors or rail assets; PROGNOST is the closer fit there. No price is published, the website is mainly in German, and Knowtion's wider business is software engineering services rather than a pure predictive maintenance product.
Who Should Use Knowtion
Industrial sites that want a packaged sensor plus AI for motor monitoring and prefer a German supplier.
