Summary

Beyond Limits is an industrial and enterprise-grade AI technology company built for the most demanding heavy industries including energy, utilities and healthcare. It is the only Artificial intelligence company transforming proven technologies from Caltech and NASA's JPL into advanced AI solutions. 

History

Beyond Limits is a pioneering AI company with a unique heritage from the US space program. Founded in 2014 in Glendale, California, the company incorporates forty-five proven technologies from Caltech and NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab into advanced AI solutions… hardened to industrial strength. The team then leverages this striking innovation portfolio into breakthrough cognitive technologies that help forward-looking companies transform their business and industrial operations.

Beyond Limits delivers advanced cognitive AI solutions with the resilience, reasoning and autonomy required to tackle complex enterprise challenges on Earth. Their technology is an evolutionary leap beyond conventional AI to a human-like ability to perceive, understand, correlate, learn, teach, reason and solve problems and their solutions blend deep learning and machine learning tools together with AI that emulates human intuition.

The company has interest from manufacturing firms and healthcare providers. However, one of the largest markets currently is energy companies who use the system to help determine placement of oil wells. By inputting data about existing oil fields, Beyond Limits' AI can identify prime locations for new exploration, saving money and time. "For some of these projects in oil and gas, we’re allowing them to reduce timing from months to days to hours" AJ Abdallat, CEO and Founder of Beyond Limits told NASA.

Beyond Limits is also advancing into the healthcare sector. “People are increasingly using AI-powered Healthcare solutions- wearing AI-enabled monitoring devices to keep track of their health when traditionally they would've had to visit an in-person physician continuously. More recently policymakers have also been using artificial intelligence to analyze data for contact tracing- managing population mobility and predicting supply-demand for vital medical equipment. The world is becoming comfortable with digital health applications- we are going to see this industry grow quickly, rapidly expanding over the next couple of years“ explains Beyond Limits CEO AJ Abdallat.

In 2017 Beyond Limits tackled some of the most difficult problems in large-scale high-value industries and within two years- quadrupled in size, scope and influence. Many pioneering JPL scientists work at Beyond Limits, engineering solutions for companies in industries that touch millions of people including Energy- Healthcare- Finance and Logistics. "Today we are seeing unprecedented world-wide demand for systems that go beyond the limitations of conventional AI" AJ Abdallat, CEO and Founder of Beyond Limits stated on their official website. "Our cognitive software has the ability to understand situations and place problems in real-world contexts as well as to learn over time. We’re excited to help more customers by applying our unique and powerful AI approach to solve some of the toughest problems facing industries and the world today."

In 2020 Beyond Limits "announced a milestone Series C funding round with $113 million closed and another approximately $20 million committed" per a company release on their official website. “This round is led by Group 42, a prominent AI and cloud computing company, and bp ventures, an existing two-time investor and customer of the company.” "2020 is going to be big year for Beyond Limits as we make significant strides toward global expansion to serve the energy industry and a variety of other sectors. We believe Beyond Limits' innovative and unique AI technologies are going to be a key component in reimagining and modernising the energy industry… through advanced digitisation we can create more intelligent- more efficient operations for a lower carbon future" Beyond Limits CEO AJ Abdallat expressed on the company's official website.

Beyond Limits recently announced its acquisition of Altec Products Inc.- a leading provider of integrated document management and workflow solutions. The addition of Altec to Beyond Limits will enable accelerated product growth and drive digital transformation in new markets, furthering Beyond Limits’ mission to create world-class solutions for businesses that improve performance and enhance human decision-making.

"At Beyond Limits, we believe in the power of artificial intelligence to amplify the talents and capabilities of people" said Beyond Limits CEO AJ Abdallat. "Our Cognitive AI solutions are used across energy, manufacturing, and healthcare sectors to tackle the toughest challenges and help individuals make faster, more efficient decisions to manage risk and drive profitability. Altec’s technology and approach to streamlined digital operations was a natural fit with our approach to AI, and we’re very excited to bring new value to the market together."

In 2022 Beyond Limits' acquisition of Altec further strengthened the company's strategic partnerships and integrations focused on digital transformation and AI-readiness in key sectors. Altec's strong industry position, unique product offerings, and loyal customer base provided new product and market opportunities in addition to transformational capital for furthering its accelerated growth. As part of the acquisition, Altec will continue to offer its core document management and workflow solutions directly to the market and will also operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Beyond Limits. 

Vision

Beyond Limits envisions using its groundbreaking AI technologies to build automated solutions that amplify the talents and capabilities of people working in heavy industries.
