What We Do
Realm is an AI-driven platform that delivers significant cost savings for industrial operations. By preventing 80% of failures before they happen, Realm maximizes uptime, potentially saving millions in lost revenue. Built on the latest advances in AI, Realm integrates with your existing cameras, sensors, and control systems to automatically detect and predict equipment failures, flag unsafe and suspicious behavior, automate response actions like shut-offs, and immediately notify and dispatch key personnel. Realm also augments your existing monitoring infrastructure with edge AI devices and drones for comprehensive, customizable event detection in low-connectivity and unmonitored areas (large-scale infrastructure, vehicles, etc.).
Realm has a proven track record with clients in gold, gemstones, coal, and oil & gas operations across Africa, Latin America, and the United States.
