UpKeep Edge: Understanding AI Insights (Beta)

Learn about harnessing the power of AI to drive insights from your sensor activity

Updated today

AI Insights in UpKeep Edge provide automated analysis of your sensor data to help you quickly understand trends, detect issues, and take action.

Insights highlight important patterns—such as repeated threshold breaches or abnormal readings—so your team can make faster, more informed decisions without manually reviewing raw data.

Note: AI Insights are currently available in the Beta experience. You must enable the Beta view to access this feature.


Enable AI Insights (Beta)

To use AI Insights, you’ll first need to enable the Beta experience.

Steps

  1. Navigate to Edge > Sensors

  2. Select a Sensor

  3. Toggle Beta View at the top of the page

Once enabled, you’ll have access to AI Insights within the sensor view.


How AI Insights Work

AI Insights analyze your sensor data over time and surface key information, such as:

  • Threshold breaches

  • Repeated or sustained issues

  • Trends and patterns in readings

  • Summary statistics (e.g., averages, maximum values)

Insights are designed to help you quickly understand:

  • What happened

  • When it happened

  • How often it occurred


Insight Generation

Automatic Insights

  • Insights are automatically generated every hour per sensor

  • When you open a sensor, insights will refresh if new data is available


Manual Insights (On Demand)

You can generate updated insights manually for more recent data.

How to Generate Insights

  1. Open a Sensor (Beta view enabled)

  2. Locate the Insights section

  3. Click Generate Insight

  • Insights can be generated every 15 minutes

  • A countdown timer will indicate when the next generation is available


Using AI Insights to Take Action

AI Insights help you move from detection to action.

From an insight, you can:

  • Create a Work Order

  • Investigate related alerts or incidents

  • Identify patterns that may require preventive maintenance

Work Orders from Insights

When you create a work order from an insight:

  • It is linked to that insight

  • It includes relevant sensor and condition data

This helps your team or technicians quickly understand and resolve the issue.


Examples of AI Insights

AI Insights may highlight scenarios such as:

  • A sensor repeatedly exceeding a temperature threshold over several days

  • A consistent pattern of readings approaching critical levels

  • Sudden spikes or drops in sensor data

These insights help identify underlying issues and support root cause analysis.


Why AI Insights Matter

AI Insights reduce the time spent manually analyzing sensor data and make it easier to:

  • Detect recurring issues

  • Identify trends over time

  • Prioritize maintenance actions

  • Improve decision-making across your team
