Company profile
researched Aug 2026Onepredict (ONEPREDICT Co., Ltd.) is a Seoul-based business-to-business industrial AI company that combines machine learning with engineering domain knowledge to diagnose and predict the condition of critical industrial equipment. Its stated technology stack spans industrial data collection (structuring complex unstructured raw data into large-scale multimodal datasets), industrial performance predictive modeling (data preprocessing and feature extraction to estimate equipment condition), MLOps-based industrial data management that adapts to data growth and site changes, and a three-step real-time data labeling process intended to secure high-quality multimodal industrial data.
The product portfolio is organized around an "AI Native Factory" positioning. cyclone is described as an integrated manufacturing data and MLOps platform covering data collection, analysis and model training in one workflow. The guardione family includes pdx, aimed at breaking down data silos in operations and maintenance; guardione turbo, which performs root-cause analysis and prescriptive recommendations for turbomachinery using vibration data; guardione substation, which predicts the timing and cause of equipment failure for substation assets and transformers; and guardione motor for motor monitoring using electric current data. Third-party profile data reports the substation solution at 98% diagnostic accuracy and describes target customers as large industrial operators in chemicals, oil refining and steelmaking.
The company holds a portfolio of Korean, US and PCT patent filings covering rotating equipment diagnosis, data imaging for equipment diagnosis, turbine condition display, deep-learning fault diagnosis, transformer condition determination from dissolved-gas data, OLTC fault diagnosis, substation equipment diagnosis and prediction, machine-learning health index determination, oil-filtration-aware condition prediction, motor bearing fault diagnosis and peak detection. It has been certified to ISO 9001:2015, ISO 45001:2018 and ISO/IEC 27001:2022, holds an ISMS certification from GERMAN CERT, TTA GS Certification Grade 1, and NET New Excellent Technology and Outstanding R&D Innovative Product certifications from Korean ministries.
Founding story
Founded by Byeng Dong Youn, who serves as CEO and has been a professor of mechanical engineering at Seoul National University since 2010, was named among Stanford University's World's Top 2% Scientists in 2020, is a PHM Society fellow (2019), served as president of the Korean Society of PHM (2019β2020), and has acted as a reliability/PHM technical advisor to Hyundai Motor, Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics and LG Energy Solution.
Business model
B2B sale and deployment of industrial AI software and diagnostic systems to industrial and utility asset owners. A third-party profile describes engagements as subscription-based services or one-time partnership agreements for deploying guardione components, with pricing varying by deployment scale and features and not publicly disclosed.
Subscription access to guardione suite components alongside one-off deployment/partnership agreements, per third-party profile data; pricing is not disclosed publicly.
Traction
Disclosed project record includes a substation predictive maintenance pilot (Sep 2020βDec 2021), a water supply facility predictive maintenance pilot (Mar 2021βMay 2022), an AI-based vibration prediction and diagnosis solution for cooling fans and towers (JunβOct 2021), manufacture, installation and deployment of train axle bearing condition diagnostic devices (Dec 2021βJun 2022), and deployment of a monitoring and maintenance system using industrial AI and deep-learning current/vibration diagnostics (Nov 2022βAug 2023).
