Optimize real world operations through digital algorithms.

Today it takes just a second to search millions of web pages. But you’ll still spend 10 minutes driving aimlessly around a city just to find a parking slot.
By applying machine learning, IoT and computer vision to digitize the physical world, we can easily solve many inefficiencies with computer algorithms. That’s why we founded PowerArena.

Manufacturing is dear to hearts.

We’re engineers and data scientists with family and friends in manufacturing. We’ve felt the frustration of production managers reaching a limit to understanding the physical world. We know the discrepancy when intuition-based fine tuning fails to deliver improvement.

We’re committed to making sure PowerArena will take human understanding of real-world operations to a new level.

Meet the PowerArena team.
