About Tycho Data

Helping Industrial Teams Trust Their Data

Tycho Data Osprey helps industrial organizations build trust in their PI System data by automating data quality monitoring, accelerating root cause analysis, and preventing silent failures that lead to downtime, safety risks, and stalled digital initiatives.

A Message From Our Founder

Osprey emerged from a reality I saw repeatedly while working with industrial companies on digital transformation initiatives: they bet their future on data, yet struggle with hidden data quality problems that undermine operations, analytics, and AI projects.

After over a decade working hands-on with PI Systems across oil & gas, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals, I saw teams forced to troubleshoot blindly for hours or build manual workarounds to compensate for unreliable data. I founded Tycho Data to solve this with a mission to empower operations, maintenance, and digital transformation teams to trust their data and drive confident decisions every day.

Today, Osprey helps industrial leaders reduce downtime, lower operational risk, and accelerate digital initiatives by bringing transparency and trust to the real-time data powering their facilities.
