Acerta's origin story

It all began with machine learning (ML) algorithms developed by our co-founders – Greta Cutulenco, Sebastian Fischmeister, and Jean-Christophe Petkovich – in the world-renowned engineering laboratories at the University of Waterloo. Their collaboration resulted in Acerta LinePulse, a suite of SaaS solutions for precision manufacturing to enhance on-station and end-of-line testing, accelerate root cause analysis, and improve first-time through (FTT) yield. 

Out of LinePulse grew our second offering, Acerta Professional Services: customized solutions developed according to customer data and specific needs. These services leverage our team’s domain expertise acquired through years of working on machine learning and artificial intelligence (ML/AI) solutions for automotive and off-highway vehicle manufacturing.
