What We Do
Cognite is an AI company that delivers industrial software to improve the production efficiency of Energy, Process Manufacturing, and other industrial companies. We deliver an Industrial DataOps platform that liberates siloed data and empowers our customers to solve some of their most complex business problems with AI-powered solutions. The typical solutions we enable drive innovative new ways to approach Data Exploration, Digital Operator Rounds, Production Optimization, Turnaround Planning, and Root Cause Analysis. We do this by automating and scaling industrial data contextualization of various sources (such as time series, engineering diagrams, equipment logs, maintenance records, 3D facility models, images, large point clouds, and more). We use AI and other tools to find and map the meaningful relationships between the data across these various sources. In addition, we provide intuitive tools that enable efficient use of analytics and automated workflows, as well as prebuilt AI capabilities and a low-code industrial agent builder, Cognite Atlas AI, that enables AI to carry out more complex operations with greater accuracy.
