Acquisition brings Amiral's DiagFit technology into I-care's solution portfolio, adding on-premises predictive maintenance capabilities and further strengthening I-care's advanced data analysis capabilities.

MONS, Belgium, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- I-care Group, the global leader in predictive maintenance and reliability solutions, today announced it has acquired Amiral Technologies, a Grenoble-based deep-tech company and spin-off of the CNRS (France's National Center for Scientific Research). The acquisition brings Amiral's DiagFit platform, along with its R&D and sales teams, into I-care.

"This acquisition is a major step forward for I-care and for the predictive maintenance industry as a whole," said Fabrice Brion, Founder and CEO of I-care Group. "By integrating Amiral's DiagFit technology into I-care Group, we are adding an on-premises predictive maintenance capability while further strengthening our ability to analyze complex industrial data across multiple sensors and operating parameters. This expands the range of environments we can support, including defense and nuclear. The acquisition also reflects the continued maturation of the predictive maintenance market, as proven technologies developed by specialized companies become part of broader industrial reliability solutions."

DiagFit will be progressively integrated into I-see™, I-care's AI-enhanced predictive maintenance platform. It brings additional advanced capabilities for analyzing complex industrial data across multiple sensors and operating parameters, further strengthening I-care's predictive maintenance offering. The technology uses historical operating data to model an asset's normal behavior and detect deviations that may indicate developing anomalies, even with limited historical failure data. DiagFit can be deployed both in the cloud and on-premises, allowing customers with strict data-security requirements to keep data within their own infrastructure when required.

"Joining I-care gives DiagFit the benefit of I-care's global commercial organization and international footprint, creating opportunities to bring the technology to more industrial customers." said Dogan Kaban, Business Development Manager at Amiral Technologies. "Our approach to early anomaly detection and failure anticipation uses historical operating data to model an asset's normal behavior and detect deviations, without requiring previous examples of failures in the training data. Becoming part of I-see means our technology, and the team behind it, can now support that mission at a global scale."
