Uptake announced today its acquisition of Edmonton-based ShookIOT, a leader in cloud-native data integration and integrity, strengthening its capabilities to accelerate digital transformation in asset-intensive industries. Bridging the data gap between OT and IT, the ShookIOT and Uptake combination simplifies data migration for easy deployment of Uptake's Industrial AI applications. The chemical, oil & gas, and process industries can now cost-effectively clear the primary obstacle in the pursuit of digital transformation: the liberation of clean time-series data from individual assets to the cloud enabling advanced analytics and augmented decision-making. "For AI to make good on its promise to the industrial world, operators must be able to unlock data from disparate sources to support frontline decision-making with simple, actionable, and secure software," said Kayne Grau, President of Uptake. "Integrating ShookIOT software within Uptake's applications optimizes the preparation of industrial data for precision analytics. By combining forces, we advance our leading position in this vital SaaS category, enhancing the speed with which we deliver greater reliability, safety, and productivity to industrial operators."
