Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Arcus Servo Motion offers solid industrial automation tech with its TITAN and 2ndSight real-time anomaly detection. However, the submission is riddled with hyperbolic and unsubstantiated claims ('everyone' audience, 'most people have used my product') that undermine its credibility. The score reflects a tangible business (30 employees, 2016 launch) but heavily penalizes the extremely poor response quality and vague traction metrics.

Description
Arcus Servo Motion is a motion control engineering company that is dedicated to developing a real-time control system using pattern analysis, storage, and anomaly detection. We have recently developed a series of products under the name of TITAN, which refers to our high-speed processing and machine learning technology. In addition, Arcus has also developed a truly intelligent core technology called 2ndSight, which can acquire and define a set routine of patterns from the motion controller and detect anomalies in real time. The TITAN and 2ndSight technology are available in a stand-alone controller and driver, as well as a complete integrated motor with TITAN built in, making the first of its kind truly intelligent motors and motion control systems.
