This is especially true in technology areas tied to the Industrial Internet of Things, e.g., connectivity, sensors, visualization, cybersecurity and analytics. Not long ago, I highlighted the venture funding of industrial cybersecurity firm Claroty by Rockwell Automation and Schneider Electric, which has since grown to also include funding from Siemens, among others.<\/p>\n<p>Analytics technologies are also seeing similarly heightened investment interested. The most recent case in point is Seeq\u2019s series B funding led by Altira Group (a predominantly oil &amp; gas related venture group), next47 (a Siemens-backed global venture firm), Chevron Technology Partners, and Second Avenue Partners.<\/p>\n<section id=\"block-dfp-contextual\" class=\"block block-dfp clearfix\">\n<div id=\"dfp-ad-contextual-wrapper\" class=\"dfp-tag-wrapper\"><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>Seeq\u2019s software applications, which include Seeq Workbench and Seeq Organizer, enable manufacturing organizations to analyze, predict, collaborate and distribute time series derived production data insights to improve production outcomes. The software is designed to run on premise, on Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services cloud platforms, or in hybrid on-premise\/cloud deployments.<\/p>\n<p>According to Seeq, this new round of investment will be used to \u201csignificantly expand its development, sales and marketing resources, and also increase its presence in international markets.\u201d<\/p>\n<section id=\"block-dfp-native\" class=\"block block-dfp clearfix\">\n<div id=\"dfp-ad-native-wrapper\" class=\"dfp-tag-wrapper\"><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>Michael Risse, chief marketing officer at Seeq, explained that, in addition to growing Seeq\u2019s presence through partnerships and expanding its international presence, the company will focus this investment on \u201cgetting more new customers and expanding installations in companies where we are already being used.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked if the heavy oil and gas sector investment from Altira and Chevron indicated a particular interest in Seeq from the oil &amp; gas industries, Risse acknowledged that oil and gas investor funds are a major portion of this investment, but the oil and gas industry represents \u201cjust 20 percent of our customer base. The remaining 80 percent are in the chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage and water industries.\u201d He added that, Altira (a largely oil &amp; gas focused investment firm) expressed interest in continued investment in Seeq because they \u201cliked that we\u2019re not just oil and gas focused. They like our diversification\u201d across the process industries.<\/p>\n<p>Risse also noted that Chevron Technology Partners often invests in technologies used by the company. \u201cSo, it&#8217;s safe to say Chevron is a Seeq user,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing Seeq\u2019s diversified growth over the past year, which saw the company nearly double its number of customers and licensed users, Risse said the company also saw some \u201csurprise installations in discrete manufacturing\u201d for use in areas of operation that are more process-oriented in nature. Examples of these processes include use of dip tanks (where parts are dipped in coatings) and compressions (high pressure blending of parts\/ingredients into a composite piece). These processing-oriented operations provide the time-series data in a discrete manufacturing process for which Seeq\u2019s analytics can provide useful insights.<\/p>\n<p>The investment firms involved in this series of funding will get a board position with Seeq through which they can \u201cbring their expertise to us, as well as be an active participant in our development efforts,\u201d said Risse. As an example of this, Risse pointed out that Siemens invited Seeq to be a part of this year\u2019s Automation Summit. Seeq is also working with Siemens XHQ operations intelligence team, which develops visualization technologies for the oil and gas industries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Source : https:\/\/www.automationworld.com\/article\/industry-type\/all\/new-seeq-funding-underscores-industrial-analytics-interest<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With a new round of funding from venture firms, including [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1209,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,9],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.9 -
