We hope that other companies from the PGNiG Group will be able to find out about it and we hope that another promising company has been added to our portfolio  – says Małgorzata Piasecka, President of PGNiG Ventures.

“The platform offered by Reliability Solutions allows you to remotely monitor the status of all devices in real time and predict the type, time and place of potential failures. The solution also allows you to identify the source of the unwanted event and provides recommendations that avoid its consequences. The technology is already successfully used in many large industrial plants and has also been tested during a pilot at PGNiG Termika, generating real savings and increasing safety. We are convinced that Reliability Solutions has great growth prospects ahead of it, and the innovative solution offered by the company will be widely used in industry, including companies from the PGNiG Group – says Arkadiusz Sekściński, Vice President of the Management Board of PGNiG for Development.

Reliability Solutions’ mission is to transform the approach to machine maintenance. The solution developed by us, using artificial intelligence, draws conclusions from production data in a way that is unattainable for humans. Thanks to this, RSIMS allows our customers to eliminate 30% of failures and unplanned downtime, but above all to increase production efficiency by 15% – says Piotr Lipnicki, CEO reliability Solutions. – Our adventure with PGNiG began with a pilot for one of the PGNiG Termika plants. The commitment and openness of the team allowed us to develop our solution and achieve unprecedented results. We are convinced that cooperation with PGNiG Ventures and TangentLine will bring us the opportunity to develop by implementing our technology on a large scale and gaining experience alongside an innovator in the energy industry, which is PGNiG – adds Piotr Lipnicki.
