Helping automakers optimize vehicle quality, safety and reliability since 2017.
Our Story
Our mission is to empower our customers’ data, helping them realize greater efficiency and cost savings on production lines and throughout the in-service life of a vehicle. Born out of the world-renowned engineering laboratories at the University of Waterloo, Acerta was created to augment technical knowledge of automotive systems with data science and machine learning, uncovering actionable insights from vehicle and production data.
We’re helping automakers get complex products to market faster, more efficiently, and with fewer defects by amplifying domain knowledge with artificial intelligence to locate the earliest indicators of future product failures. For fleets and autonomous vehicles, our advanced vehicle health solutions pinpoint and predict failures before they happen, ensuring maximum utilization and efficiency of assets through their in-service life.
Our goal is to transform automotive quality by supporting the entire product life cycle, from the assembly line to the finish line.
