Knowledge layer for the process industry

The bridge betweendecades of experienceand Artificial Intelligence.

Your experts hold knowledge no public AI will ever find. We capture it before it walks out the door — and make it available to every tool, every team, forever.

The numbers that matter

0%

of organizational knowledge is tacit — unwritten, undocumented, held in people's heads. Not in your DMS. Not in your procedures.

0%

of Europe's industrial workforce is aged 55 or over. A quarter of your plant's experience base is heading for the exit within the decade.

The real problem

AI is only as good
as the data behind it.

You’re deploying AI tools. Your senior engineers are filing retirement papers. The two are deeply connected — and nobody is acting on it yet.

Problem 01

Your plant isn’t in the training data

Ask any AI about the K-107 bypass on Unit 6. It will give you a precise, well-reasoned answer — about bypass valves in general. It hasn’t read your P&IDs. It doesn’t know K-107 was re-routed in 2014 and the drawings were never updated. No public model ever will.

“I don’t have access to your operational data.”
— Every public AI, without a plant knowledge layer
Problem 02

What walks out with every retirement

Erik knows Procedure C-4 has a pressure test step the manual skipped since 2019. He knows which gasket supplier to avoid on high-temp service. None of it is written down. When Erik leaves, it leaves with him.

Expert announces retirement. Three months notice.
A scramble to “download” 30 years into a shared folder.
Exit interview captures 5% of what they actually knew.
Six months later, the team hits the first problem nobody can solve.

See it in action

The colleague who never forgets.

Any vertical. Every answer cited.

Decades of site knowledge — captured, structured, and permanently available. Every answer traces back to the person who said it, the record that proves it, and the standard that governs it.

PERSON
Wim VisserSr. Construction Manager · 31 years on turnarounds · Retired Mar 2023Knowledge interview captured: October 2022
"Same three things every single time. Pressure test protocol references the old design pressure — someone missed the Rev 3 change order. As-built isometrics are late because punch items were never formally closed. And there's always one NDE report where the technique doesn't match the approved WPS. Clients catch all three within the first hour."
RECORD
NCR-CONST-RTM-2021-019 · Pre-handover rejection
Dossier rejected: pressure test protocol referenced Rev 1 design pressure (42 bar) instead of Rev 3 (38 bar). Rework: 4 days. Cost impact: €28K.
PROCEDURE
HO-SOP-003 · Rev.5 · Pre-handover dossier checklist
§4.2: Pressure test protocol must reference current approved design pressure. §6.1: As-built markups signed off before dossier submission. §7.3: NDE technique must match WPS/WPQR on record.
STANDARD
PED 2014/68/EU · Annex I §3.2.2
Pressure test documentation must reflect final as-built design parameters. Inconsistency with approved design constitutes non-conformance under CE marking requirements.
