(Groundup.ai: Singapore) -- Groundup.ai, a fast-growing leader in AI-powered industrial reliability in Asia and the Middle East, has launched the world’s first agentic AI for cognitive maintenance. This breakthrough technology is designed to help asset-heavy industries eliminate unplanned downtime, cut maintenance costs, unlock new levels of operational resilience, and achieve sustainability goals.

Unlike traditional predictive maintenance systems that only forecast when equipment might fail, cognitive maintenance goes a significant step further: It tells operators what’s wrong, why it’s happening, and how to fix it. By embedding agentic AI into this process, Groundup.ai’s solution enables machines to act as self-learning agents, capable of diagnosing root causes, learning how maintenance crews treat anomalies, recommending solutions, and continuously improving based on outcomes.

“This is a reinvention of maintenance,” says Leon Lim, CEO and founder of Groundup.ai. “We’re not just predicting problems; we’ve built a system with agentic AI that acts as a virtual machine expert, providing proactive guidance.

“By utilizing and rearranging data from various streams, our platform delivers insights that drive a clear return on investment. This allows businesses to scale their operations and reliability strategies with zero false alarms and faster interventions. Our AI learns, reasons, and guides engineers with actionable steps, significantly reducing the guesswork, stress, and wasted effort that costs industries billions every year.”

Delivering real-world results across industries

Groundup.ai’s cognitive maintenance solution is already trusted by leading organizations across maritime, manufacturing, aviation, and rail, including:
• The Republic of Singapore Navy—Strengthening defense readiness through smarter vessel reliability
• Coca-Cola Bottling, Saudi Arabia—Achieving measurable ROI in production line efficiency
• Hamad International Airport—Boosting uptime throughout critical infrastructure
• Doha Metro—ensuring uninterrupted rail operations

By integrating diverse data streams, autonomous AI agents, and deep domain expertise, Groundup.ai transforms maintenance into a sustainability-driven circular economy. The solution helps asset operators predict failures, guide precise fixes, extend asset lifespan, and reduce waste and energy use, ultimately saving both money and resources.

Strategic step forward for Industry 5.0

This technology positions Groundup.ai at the fore of the Industry 5.0 transformation. With the asset-intensive manufacturing sector losing an estimated $50 billion globally each year to unplanned downtime, Groundup.ai’s solution addresses this challenge head-on by creating an intelligent, adaptive maintenance ecosystem where machines do more than generate data: They generate decisions.

Deployment availability

Groundup.ai’s agentic AI for cognitive maintenance is available immediately for organizations in Asia, the Middle East, and beyond, with deployment support tailored to industries facing high downtime costs and operational risk.
