Ontonix

Ontonix is a privately held software and services firm which has been founded by a group of experts from the aerospace, nuclear and civil engineering industries. Headquartered in Como, Italy, Ontonix develops OntoNet™, the World’s first system which allows one to actually measure and manage the complexity of any kind of system or process. OntoNet™ is an unusual and first-of-a-kind system which powers Artificial Intuition, a physics-based technology and tool which pinpoints concentrations of complexity and fragility, and delivers early-warnings of anomalies and malfunctions before they materialise. OntoNet™ doesn't require any form of Machine Learning. It computes answers, it doesn't guess them. Our technology is ideally suited for: Conditions of high uncertainty and variability Situations in which the dynamics of a system are dominated by uncertainty can be particularly nasty. Data scarcity Many malfunctions which affect complex systems are often very rare and/or unique. There are not enough examples for a Machine Learning approach. Prioritization Prioritization relies on identifying the relative importance or order of variables, tasks, or goals. It’s about finding out what matters most. The need for explainability It is known that AI is in many cases a black box that produces an answer but without offering explanation as to how the answer has been arrived at. Artificial Intuition offers 100% explainability. Early anomaly detection Artificial Intuition is great at spotting the onset of malfunctions, providing early precursors and indicating the underlying causes. Autopsy of a collapse When highly complex systems fail, they can do so in very many and unique ways. Complex catastrophic collapses offer no opportunity of any form of Machine Learning. Acceleration of Machine Learning Artificial Intuition can eliminate variables that do not contribute information, reducing the size of the training set.
