Root cause analysis

Trace every anomaly to its source on a single timeline.

Sync runs, build calculated channels inline, and share the finding with one link. Parallel and Impulse Space close investigations on Sift.

Where investigations happen

One workspace for every step of the investigation.

Hardware investigations used to span four tools: Grafana for live panels, notebooks for run comparison, Winplot for high-rate review, and CSV exports for the math in between. Sift brings all four into one workspace. Engineers move from "something happened" to "here's what happened and here's the proof" without leaving the platform.

See every signal at sub-nanosecond precision.

Easily sync panels to scrub a single timeline across multiple views. Find the signal in seconds, not minutes.

Build a calculated channel in seconds.

Derive new signal from multiple channels right in Sift. Apply math, compute rolling averages, and more. The math stays with the investigation, not on someone's laptop.

Compare runs, aligned to the moment that matters.

Pick any event you define: touchdown, ignition, or any waypoint. Every run snaps into alignment.

Real customer Outcomes

Two runs, synced, root cause in minutes.

"I had a test that passed and a test that failed, the same test run two different times. I put the two runs synced up on top of each other so I could step through the telemetry and see when they started diverging and why."

—Alex Maynard, Senior Software Engineer, Parallel Systems

Quick math, right in the platform.

"We have a flow meter with a totalizer. I wanted to subtract out the beginning-of-the-day amount to see exactly what we used that day. Being able to just quickly throw in that initial number, everything was normalized to what I wanted to look at. It's been helpful for quick looks at telemetry."

—Cooper Brooks, Propulsion Test Engineer, Impulse Space

Certified-grade investigations on Sift.

Reliable Robotics runs streamlined analysis and anomaly detection on Sift to support root-cause investigations under FAA certification.

Purpose-built for hardware investigations

Three things Sift does that generic tools cannot.

Time-aligned runs.

Overlay related runs at any event (ignition, touchdown, control cycle) without writing a single line of Python. Compare a new test against 200 past tests in the same format.

Tree-style channel navigation.

Hardware systems put out thousands of signals with deeply nested names. Sift's tree view mirrors the actual subsystem and assembly hierarchy, so engineers find a channel in seconds. Grafana shows a flat list and engineers scroll.

Shareable findings.

Links open on the exact panel, time range, and axis limits the sender set. Saved views preserve the layout. Institutional knowledge stays with the team, not on someone's laptop.

See Sift with your data.

Bring a sample of your telemetry to a 30-minute working session. Our engineers will plot your CSVs, ULOGs, or TDMS files live and show you what Sift does on a real investigation.
