Services
ML and AI for Heavy Industry
We specialise in the development and implementation of the next generation of real-time Advanced Process Control, hyperautomation and process optimisation solutions for highly complex, multi-phase, high-friction capital intensive industry.
Our Machine Learning and AI driven systems bi-directionally communicate with both humans and machines alike, and automatically respond to anomalous events in dynamic industrial processes.
Consulting Engineering
We provide a diversity of engineering advisory services to primary and secondary industry, from the conduct of desktop studies and development of system specifications, to the interrogation of process efficiencies and the implementation of optimisation programmes.
A regular focus is aiding our customers in securing energy and water resilience, implementing energy independence and smart power management, as well as performance of APC readiness reviews.
Advanced Analytics
We employ our considerable Data Science, Machine Learning and related mathematical expertise in the provision of Advanced Analytics services to customers in any commercial sector.
We produce decidedly impactful actionable intelligence that is focussed on delivering measurable operational and commercial utility. The standing objective is to directly impact the customer enterprise’s ‘bottom line’.
Systems Engineering
We undertake the development of new generation ‘clean sheet’ designed technologies and products on the behalf of our customers, and do so through the application of rigorous systems engineering principles.
Our systems engineering doctrine is both flexible and mature, enabling the high-velocity, hyper-agile, comprehensively traceable and thoroughly meticulous pursuit of innovation programmes.
Programme Management
We make commercially available as an independent service our considerable expertise in the management of complex innovation programmes.
Our speciality is the domain of frontier innovation activities, which inherently entail the management of substantial risks and uncertainties. This demands tremendous situational awareness in order for programme objectives to be successfully and efficiently achieved. Fastidious programme management is an innovation prerequisite.
Special Pursuits
Our core competency is the development of novel and highly sophisticated technologies, products and systems - an expertise we refer to as ‘frontier innovation’. And our multi-disciplinary technical proficiencies, which span engineering and the sciences, are specifically calibrated thereto.
We provide bespoke innovation services to customers requiring the pursuit of materially discreet undertakings, and do so by means of the foreign deployment of personnel should such be necessary.

touchstone
A customisable cyber-suite for the display of actionable intelligence for personnel throughout operational, managerial or executive functions.
Any process, enterprise or wider commercial intelligence can be presented on this interactive, device agnostic human interface.
Archangel
Our proprietary cloud-based digital architecture, designed to capture and process in real-time all of the data generated by an industrial site, fleet of plants, or a global supply chain.
Archangel enables the development and application of real-time ML and AI-driven Advanced Process Control. It also securely stores all captured data in the cloud - providing comprehensive data redundancy in the event of a catastrophic IT/OT failure.
Firestorm
Our family of predictive ML algorithms developed to function on live data streams and deliver real-time Advanced Process Control.
Maximise throughput and recovery, intelligently manage the operation and maintenance scheduling of assets, achieve system-wide energy and flow balancing, increase product quality, detect anomalies, deploy virtual sensors, create smart asset registers, measure ESG performance, and maximise human impact.
