FREMONT, CA, September 23, 2025 (Globe Newswire) – Through today's automation, AI-driven human collaboration combines AI-driven human collaboration through Connect and Co-Pilot, AI-driven, AI-based platforms, to revolutionize corporate manufacturing operations, paving the way for self-healing plants and resilient supply.
Via Connect and Via Co-Pilot demonstrations will be available in the western Semi-Con from October 7th to October 9th at the Phoenix Convention Center in Phoenix, Ariz.
“Predictive maintenance is not just about preventing breakdowns, it's about increasing yields and enabling smarter, safer and more efficient industrial operations,” said Nitin Parekh, CEO of Via Automation. “Connect and by Co-Pilot allow businesses to move beyond pilot projects to a scalable, reliable, and aggressive predictive maintenance program.”
Introducing AI-equipped industrial automation
Unplanned equipment downtime costs manufacturers spend more than $1.5 trillion worldwide annually. This is a problem that grows higher every year. The cost of an hour of downtime skyrocketed 50% in just two years.
Real-time AI-driven decisions across the factory floor, via Connect, via Coin Power, increased efficiency, optimized operations, reduced unplanned downtime, improved performance in all areas.
Via Connect
Traditional solutions rely on dashboards and complex visualizations that do not solve the underlying problems. Connect seamlessly delivers data integration across Edge by acting as a digital fabric between assets, IoT sensors and enterprise systems. Connect to a digital twin model via Connect to provide overall monitoring capabilities as a Software Development Kit (SDK) that can be integrated with the equipment vendor.
Edge-enabled processing capabilities allow you to directly detect low latency anomalies on factory floors via Connect and integrate with cloud platforms such as Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, and AWS, Azure, Databricks.
Ensures unified data collection of real-time vibration, temperature and process signals streamed from machines and IoT endpoints for predictive maintenance. With Iv Connect, predictive models can access clean, contextualized data without the integration bottleneck, one of the biggest hurdles of scaling predictive maintenance initiatives.
Via co-pilot
Connect enables data orchestration, increases operational intelligence through Co-Pilot, and acts as a decision-making assistant that unites humans using AI tools for smarter decision-making.
Co-Pilot transforms predictive maintenance from a “black box algorithm” into trusted colleagues. Adds recruitment and construction operator trust by providing AI-driven insight into equipment degradation warning using machine learning models trained with sensor data. The diagnosis is easily explained and interpretable, highlighting the underlying causes, such as bearing wear and lubrication collapse. This enables engineers, operators and managers to provide recommendations, validate insights, and interact with AI that triggers automated work orders
It also provides continuous learning opportunities with feedback loops, improving model accuracy over time and adapts to new operating conditions.
Through automation, AI can enable any device or fab using Connect and by Co-Pilot. An intuitive interface allows manufacturing teams to focus on building and deploying custom workflows without deep AI expertise, ensuring equipment is running smoothly and efficiently.
Initial results show that together via Connect and Co-Pilot, unplanned downtime is reduced between 15-20% between 30-40%. It extends asset lifespan by approximately 25% and improves operator safety and compliance reporting.
It will be automated in Phoenix, Arizona from October 7th to 9th in West Semicon.
Via Automation will be exhibiting and demonstrating its connections and co-pilot at Semicon West at booth #7438 at the Phoenix Convention Center in Phoenix, Arizona, from Tuesday, October 7th to Thursday, October 9th.
Kiran Karunakaran is the CTO of VIA and will “develop explanatory digital twins and connect to co-pilots for autonomous tools” on Wednesday at the Smart Manufacturing Pavilion Theatre.
