Frontline Engagement

Close the feedback loop at the frontier

Audio and video capture that turns frontline observations into structured operational data — without forcing rigid input. What workers see in the field connects directly to maintenance records, pricing signals, and existing knowledge bases.

North

Software-Defined Autonomy

Turn vast amounts of disparate industrial data into actionable insights and execution that drive true productivity gains.

Build with North, a modern industrial control and execution platform capable of aggregating data across modalities and business systems, enabling observable software-defined autonomy and large-scale project coordination.

  • Unified Control and Execution. A canonical control API that abstracts every OEM's proprietary protocol — from Arbin SCPI to Komatsu CAN to Emerson OPC-UA — into a single execution layer with full audit trail from sensor to command.
  • Software-Defined Autonomy. Four-layer architecture from sensing and world modeling through planning and execution — with human-in-the-loop controls at every tier and deterministic safety constraint enforcement independent of AI state.
  • Multimodal Foundation Models. Pre-trained on temporal telemetry, spatial imagery, and structured operational context across the full operator fleet — embeddings that transfer across sites, chemistries, and equipment vintages without starting from scratch.
  • RL Efficiency. Physics-fidelity pre-training in simulation, then continuous online fine-tuning against real operations — closing the adaptation gap between fixed-protocol practice and the efficiency ceiling.
  • OT Security. On-premise inference with no raw telemetry leaving the facility, dedicated equipment VLANs isolated from IT networks, air-gap deployment for defense-adjacent contracts, and safety PLC integration that retains hardware authority over safety-critical actuators.

If you're pushing the frontier of how physical operations run, we want to build alongside you.
