Founded in 2015 in the Netherlands, Samotics is the global leader in smart monitoring technology for hard-to-reach industrial assets. We help bring unprecedented visibility to every critical industrial asset by analyzing electrical signals - the heartbeat of industrial equipment - using existing hardware or simple sensors, in combination with our own AI-driven platform. By enabling companies to continuously monitor asset health, performance, and efficiency, we help them significantly reduce unplanned downtime, pollution events, and energy waste. Our customers include industry leaders like ABB, Yorkshire Water, Schiphol Airport, Nyrstar, ArcelorMittal, and Nobian.
The invisible crisis Over 75 million critical industrial assets are remote or inaccessible and cannot be monitored with traditional systems. This leads to billions in lost productivity, catastrophic failures, 1-2% of global energy waste, excessive maintenance costs, and significant environmental harm.
Furthermore, industrial companies face an escalating workforce shortage, due to an aging workforce and lack of incoming talent. Combined with rising energy costs, rapid digitalization, and accelerating AI advancements, real-time asset intelligence has become essential to maximize workforce efficiency and drive productivity, sustainability, and profitability.
Why Samotics is unique - Monitor anywhere: Sensors only in the motor control cabinet - High accuracy: Over 90% of faults detected, fewer than 1% false alarms - Scalable: Our technology is effective across diverse industries and asset types
Proven impact - 30% longer asset lifetimes with lower maintenance costs - Up to 25% reduction in energy consumption - Average customer ROI in just 8 months
Join us The era of reactive maintenance is over. Samotics is pioneering solutions for the multi-trillion-dollar problem of maintaining invisible assets and setting a new standard for efficient, sustainable, and profitable industrial operations.
