Operational intelligence, built to plug into the plant.

Modular AI which meets industry where it already runs. SCADA, IoT, drones, and APIs, drawn into one operational layer.

Industrial operators are measured on uptime and judged on emissions.

A midstream operator runs a plant on systems which were never designed to speak to each other. SCADA in the control room, IoT at the wellhead, inspection data in a folder, compliance in a spreadsheet. Visibility falls apart exactly where a decision has to be made.

The cost is not abstract. A leak found late is a fine and a headline. A compressor drifting out of tune is money leaving the site every hour it runs.

One layer, assembled from parts which stand alone or work as one.

The architecture is modular on purpose. Each engine is a product on its own, and the same engines assemble into one domain solution when the work calls for it, which is how a plant can adopt it without a two-year program. Insight, Foresight, Detect, Move, Autonomy, and Relay make up the core.

On top sit the domain solutions: Horizon, Flow, Seismic, and Dose. Interface work covers the control room, the field team, and everything distributed between them, with compliance and governance aligned to industrial requirements from the start.

The Insight module on a tablet: a cost efficiency chart comparing planned against actual, with a details panel and four further indicators — Insight. What happened, measured against what was planned.

The Foresight module on a tablet: infrastructure load plotted forward past a prediction line, with profit margin and lost revenue from downtime below — Foresight. The same lines, extended, with the prediction marked.

The Autonomy module on a tablet: a zoned map beside a live event feed, each event paired with the measure already adopted — Autonomy. Events as they land, and what already ran in response.

The Relay module on a tablet: a personnel table beside a conversational panel holding a plain-language request — Relay. Ask in plain words. It answers from the same data.

The opening frame of the Intelligent Core film: a photograph of an offshore platform and a gold data block composed on a blueprint grid, captioned Information System — The platform, in motion. Nothing downloads until you press play, and the weight is printed on the button.

Agentic automation, with a person still holding the decision.

Anomalies are detected and routed automatically. Alerts arrive with a recommended response attached, not as a raw signal for somebody to interpret. Conversational control lets an operator ask the plant a question in the language they already use.

The platform was validated in real conditions with Purestream, and pilots run against live operations rather than a sandbox. Intelligent Core has secured £2.7M across pre-seed and seed funding.

Flow, at both widths the field actually carries.

Measured in a ninety-day pilot, on a live operation.

↓35% unplanned downtime, through flow optimization

↑20% compressor efficiency, through real-time coordination

↓60% leak response time, with real-time alerts

Also recorded in the same pilot: a 40% reduction in flow imbalance events through automated anomaly detection, and a 30% reduction in methane and emission events through predictive monitoring. These figures come from one ninety-day pilot with a midstream operator, and we state the scope because the scope is the point. They are a pilot result, not a fleet average.
