We help industrial operators make faster, safer decisions by turning scattered data into clear insights. Our platform lets companies collect, connect, and act on operational data in one place, solving challenges that used to require switching between dozens of disconnected systems.
We serve maritime, offshore, and energy sectors, where reliable data directly impacts crew safety and uptime. Operations generate massive sensor, camera, and equipment data, but it often sits in silos. Our platform brings everything into one unified, real-time view that works in harsh, disconnected environments like offshore rigs, vessels, and remote sites.
We work with industry leaders like Boskalis and BP. Our Red Zone Manager uses vision AI to monitor hazardous areas and improve crew safety, while our platform enables customers to build their own AI applications on top of their data. We're a team of 80+ professionals from 35+ nationalities in Rijswijk.
