Business
Tagup is a technology company and was founded in 2015 and is located in Somerville, Massachusetts. . The company is a member of Greentown Labs, the largest clean energy incubator in the United States, where it was a founding member of the PROPEL acceleration program.

Tagup's predictive maintenance algorithms are built from machine learning research conducted by Will Vega-Brown, co-founder and current CTO, at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In Vega-Brown's research paper, "Nonparametric Bayesian Inference on Multivariate Exponential Families", the benefits of Bayesian inference is compared to that of standard techniques like Gaussian process inference. These algorithms are combined with Tagup's industrial communication device and software platform to connect to PLC-controlled devices for advanced analytics.
