Cortex

The Industrial Digital Twin Platform

Sense.Simulate.Steer.

See your plant as it is, learn from how it ran, and simulate what to do next, with confidence you can defend.

The problem

Rich in data. Poor in foresight.

Operators react to what already went wrong instead of anticipating it. Dashboards show the past; they rarely tell you what to do next. And when tools do predict, they often hide how little they actually know.

Cortex is built differently: a connected, modular, scalable digital twin that models your process on real physics, simulates interventions honestly, and helps operators steer, not just watch.

Three pillars

Sense, simulate, steer

Each pillar is a real layer of the platform, not a slogan.

01 / SENSE

Connect the plant as it is

Real OT ingestion, not demoware. Native OPC-UA, MQTT Sparkplug B, Modbus TCP and REST connectors, edge gateways, a time-series historian, tag registry and data-quality layer.

02 / SIMULATE

Physics, not animation

Machine-level digital twins with software-in-the-loop PLCs and physics-grounded models. A simulation API that always states its basis, rule-based or historical-replay, and refuses when neither is defensible. No faked results, ever.

03 / STEER

The twin acts, not just informs

What-if studios with sensitivity analysis and sweep-to-optimum. Governed set-point write-back with bounds, approvals and rollback. Event-driven integration across the plant.

Core capabilities

What Cortex does on the floor

3D digital twins

Live, interactive 3D of your production line and machines. Watch product flow through the process, and double-click any machine to open its cockpit.

Machine-level cockpits

Per-machine twins with live physics: PLC-style register maps, validated set-point writes, controller behavior, and the actual formulas shown with live values, not a picture of math.

What-if and scenario analysis

Test interventions before you touch the plant. Sensitivity tornados rank the true drivers, sweeps find the feasible optimum, and every result carries its confidence and validity bounds.

Predictive maintenance

Vibration, temperature and current signatures fused into fault detection and remaining-useful-life, turned into a prioritized, condition-based worklist.

Energy and sustainability

Fuel, power and utility twins that recover waste and cut carbon, with a live, auditable view of energy intensity and emissions per unit produced.

OEE and quality

Real-time bottleneck identification, micro-stop analysis, and scrap-risk prediction that catches process drift before it becomes defects.

The Solution Library

One platform, configured per industry

Cortex ships a library of packaged digital-twin solutions, each tied to a process or objective. Browse by industry or capability, attach a solution to a plant, and its dashboards, 3D twin, scenarios and models light up. Simulation stays governed by environment, so sample data can never leak into production.

Tyre and RubberCuring press intelligence, tread extrusion optimization, mixing and dispersion.
Metals and SteelReheat furnace energy, captive power heat-rate, CO₂e per tonne, blast furnace stove optimization.
AutomotiveLine flow and OEE, welding process intelligence, paint shop quality and energy.
Food and BeverageFilling and packaging OEE, thermal process assurance.
PharmaceuticalBatch and golden-batch tracking, deviation detection, yield optimization.
Chemicals and ProcessStatic asset integrity, energy and utilities optimization.
The maturity journey

Start where the value is. Grow without rework.

The same platform at every stage, so stage one is never thrown away.

STAGE 01

Model

Asset and process models, historian, dashboards.

STAGE 02

Shadow

Live data mirrors the plant: 3D twins, anomaly detection, alerting.

STAGE 03

Twin

Simulation with defensible basis, what-if studios, machine-level PLC twins.

STAGE 04

Living Twin

Closed-loop: governed write-back and agentic workflows on the event bus.

Built on a real architecture

Layered, protocol-native, event-driven

Deployable on cloud, on-premise or hybrid.

Why Cortex

Defensible under the toughest evaluation

  • Honest by design. No silent extrapolation, no faked verdicts. Every prediction states its basis, confidence and validity bounds.
  • Physics-grounded, not cosmetic. Real kinetics and transfer models, not animations over static data.
  • Protocol-native OT integration. Speaks the plant's languages out of the box.
  • Deploy anywhere. Cloud, on-premise or hybrid.
  • Built for technical scrutiny. Engineered to stand up to the deepest architecture review your team can run.

OEE that operators can act on

OEE becomes useful when availability, performance and quality are connected to the reason codes, standards and production context behind the number.

Voice can make plant intelligence faster to access, but the useful design problem is grounding, permissions, citations and what the copilot should refuse to do.
