Engineering at the speed of flight: How CX2 isolates faults in hours, not days

Ten to twenty-minute test flights generate 5–10 GB of telemetry. See how CX2 turns that data into same-day fault isolation to keep flying, fast.

In their words

We analyzed the flight, crossed out branches of the fault tree, and isolated the issue. That just wouldn’t have been possible without Sift.

Sift features

How CX2 ships faster with Sift

Explore puts CX2’s maps, audio, video, logs, and time series together in one no-code workspace

Rules lets CX2 define asset, channel, and expression logic with rolling-window functions to catch out-of-bounds telemetry automatically

Sharelinks lets CX2 engineers share exact view, the precise signal, scale, time window, and annotations, with anyone

Reports aggregates results against requirements and generate audit-ready compliance reports in one click

Annotations lets CX2 mark up signals and events inline so context travels with the data through every review

Attribute-based access control lets CX2 share specific telemetry so the right people see the right data and sensitive programs stay protected
