Ultrium is doing just that with the help of Artificial Intelligence and innovative vehicle data.<br \/>\nWith a grant of $100,000 from Michigan Central, Ultrium CEO and founder Paris Plain has rolled out the first pilot program for the service, beginning their journey to revolutionize the vehicle maintenance sector. Their current prototype has already demonstrated success, leading to an incredible 20 percent reduction in maintenance expenses for its initial partners.<br \/>\n\u201cDetroit is the perfect place for us. It\u2019s got the history, the talent, and the infrastructure to support a company like Ultrium,\u201d Plain said. \u201cMichigan Central is really pushing forward with innovation, making it easier for companies like ours to thrive. We\u2019re excited to be part of that story.\u201d<br \/>\nThe service works by connecting a small device to a vehicle\u2019s diagnostic system. This data is regularly transmitted via cell service to a receiving center, where it is analyzed and used to make predictions on maintenance needs. Both the mechanic working on the vehicle and the owner can see in real time any repairs the vehicle might require.<br \/>\nThe prototype service is being tested primarily on vehicle fleets, including a towing service in Detroit, and the company is having conversations to potentially work with the Michigan Department of Transportation and Detroit Police Department, with consumer use to follow.<br \/>\n\u201cIn the future, we see our customer base expanding beyond fleets to small businesses and individual owners,\u201d said Plain, \u201cand we plan to hire more talent as we continue to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you wish you could predict when your car was going to break down and take care of the problem before you\u2019re stranded?
