Bentley Systems has announced it has entered an agreement to acquire Quebec City-based\u00a0AIworx, Inc.<\/em>, provider of machine learning and internet of things (IoT) technologies and services<\/h2>\n

The addition of\u00a0AIworx<\/em>\u00a0<\/a>brings advancements in data collection and analysis to leverage infrastructure engineering digital twins, continuously updated with real-time contextual information, to optimise productivity, operations, and maintenance.<\/p>\n

Andre Villemaire, co-founder and president of\u00a0AIworx<\/em>, said: \u201cAIworx<\/em>\u00a0has been providing machine learning<\/a> and IoT technologies and services to help organizations generate, understand, and act on data so they can make better business decisions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe biggest opportunities we\u2019ve worked on have to do with improving infrastructure asset performance on an industrial scale, by way of the data from connected machines, instrumentation, sensors, and communications systems\u2014and we\u2019re excited to dedicate ourselves to that advancement.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, by incorporating our tools into Bentley\u2019s services for digital twins, we enable infrastructure operators to multiply the potential benefits of machine learning and IoT.\u201d<\/p>\n

Francois Valois, vice president of portfolio development for Bentley Systems<\/a>, added: \u201cMachine learning and IoT technologies have created the opportunity for profound improvements in productivity and efficiency of infrastructure.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur new colleagues from\u00a0AIworx<\/em>\u00a0have already been delivering on this potential, and now, leveraging the analytics visibility, which Bentley\u2019s digital twin<\/a> cloud services uniquely provide, these advancements from going digital will accelerate exponentially!\u201d<\/p>\n
