# Avathon

> Avathon, the industrial AI company formerly known as SparkCognition, sells an enterprise platform that connects sensor readings, maintenance records, video and supply-chain data so operators can predict failures, prescribe responses and increasingly automate action. Its clearest value is not a chatbot for the factory floor, but a second opinion on costly physical systems - the loose sensor, delayed part or abnormal turbine pattern that can turn a routine decision into a multimillion-dollar mistake.

- **Founded:** 2013
- **Headquarters:** Pleasanton, United States
- **Founders:** Amir Husain (Founder; former CEO; board member)
- **Products:** Avathon Autonomy Platform, Autonomy for Asset Management, Autonomy for Supply Chain, Autonomy for Manufacturing, Visual AI
- **Notable:** SparkCognition reached a valuation above $1.4 billion after its 2022 Series D and reported $300 million in total capital raised at that point., An offshore deployment identified 75% of production-impacting events an average of eight days early using two years of blind sensor data., A hydro-utility case study reported one month of advance warning for an outage estimated to have a $1.5 million impact.
