The algorithms that power machine learning run well only when fueled by substantial amounts of data through which real trends percolate.Data pioneers such as Uptake and others hold up the benefits of artificial intelligence before the equipment manager's desirous gaze. Uptake has scored huge success with Caterpillar dealerships and on-road trucking companies. Lytx is using it with video imagery.
