In 2019, Tractian's founders - Igor Marinelli, Gabriel Lima, and Leonardo Vieira - set out with a bold vision to eliminate industrial downtime worldwide. Growing up around manufacturing plants, they witnessed firsthand the struggles of maintenance technicians and the enormous costs of unplanned equipment failures. Drawing from Igor's experience as the son of factory workers and migrants from Brazil and Italy, they founded Tractian to revolutionize how industries manage maintenance by combining cutting-edge technology with deep industrial expertise. Tractian's comprehensive platform integrates intelligent IoT sensors, AI-powered analytics, and maintenance management software into a single unified system. The company's Smart Trac sensors monitor vibration, temperature, and hour meter data in real time, while Energy Trac tracks electrical consumption, current, voltage, and machine power. All data flows into Tractian's online monitoring platform, where artificial intelligence analyzes asset behavior, predicts failures before they occur, and prescribes corrective actions. The TracOS™ CMMS enables maintenance teams to manage work orders, inventory, and processes from anywhere through mobile and web interfaces. This end-to-end approach has attracted global manufacturers like John Deere, Bosch, Hyundai, Goodyear, Kraft Heinz, and Whirlpool, earning Tractian recognition on the Forbes AI 50 list and enabling the company to serve over 500 industries across more than 1,000 facilities worldwide.
