Artificial intelligence on the edge

The edge-native industrial intelligence platform.

An integrated intelligence stack for existing industrial assets. Controlable combines smart industrial monitoring, existing machine data and local edge AI to detect anomalies, understand machine health and build towards predictive maintenance — without rebuilding your factory.

Machine-agnostic. On-premise by design. Built for brownfield and mixed-OEM environments, with an optional dedicated private cloud and no long-term platform lock-in.

From concept to industrial edge deployment

Deployment overview

The core platform is operational and entered structured industrial deployment in heavy industry. In parallel, serious discussions are underway with a broader set of industrial companies regarding rollout in other asset- and process-intensive environments.

A phased rollout path has been aligned, with broader expansion in scope.

What makes this new is not only the software layer, but the addition of smart edge devices and local AI that create intelligence layers and datapoints that most factories do not yet have. The same platform foundation is designed to support machine intelligence, packaging line intelligence, inspection, quality monitoring and wider operational insight.

  • Core platform operational
  • Structured industrial deployment underway
  • Phased rollout path aligned
  • Built for machine intelligence, inspection and operational intelligence

Potential benefits

Better insight. More informed decisions.

Continuous condition monitoring can help teams understand machine behaviour across a broader asset base, rather than relying on periodic snapshots. The potential value depends on your assets and application.

  • No data science team required.
  • No complex IT overhaul.
  • No long-term platform lock-in.
  • Earlier detection

    Recognise changes in machine behaviour.

  • Less downtime

    Support timely, informed interventions.

  • Lower energy use

    Identify avoidable energy waste.

  • Longer asset lifespan

    Understand and manage degradation.

  • More predictable costs

    Plan with better operational context.

Potential outcomes, not guarantees. Results depend on the assets, operating conditions and application, and must be evaluated for each deployment.

  1. 01

    Edge sensor nodes capture machine behaviour directly at the source. TinyML models analyse this data locally and detect deviations and anomalies in real time, even in environments with limited connectivity.

  2. 02

    Only relevant insights and health indicators are transmitted, keeping bandwidth usage, storage requirements and cloud dependency to a minimum. Dashboards provide clear, actionable views for operations and maintenance teams.

  3. 03

    As representative data accumulates, model development and application-specific validation can support a path toward diagnosis and predictive maintenance. Progression is not automatic.

What We Are Building

An integrated edge-native intelligence stack for existing industrial assets

Controlable is building a new industrial edge intelligence platform: a fully integrated stack that adds new smart sensing, interpretation and intelligence layers to industrial environments where those layers do not yet exist. It is designed to work with existing machines, existing systems and existing factory realities — not to replace them.

  • Process intelligence

Physical assets

  • Machines
  • Production lines
  • Packaging lines
  • Utility assets
  • Material handling

A functional overview, not a fixed deployment topology. Capabilities and application scope vary by deployment; these domains do not imply production readiness in every application.

The result is a non-invasive intelligence layer that can grow from single assets to wider production environments — without forcing a central rebuild of existing systems.

Explore the platform approach

The platform combines:

  • Existing machine and OEM data where available
  • Added smart sensing where critical datapoints are missing
  • Multi-sensor edge devices and nodes deployed close to machines, lines and infrastructure
  • AI running locally on those devices for anomaly intelligence, inspection, prediction and decision support
  • A secure integration and output layer for interpretable machine, process and operational insight
  • A learning and model lifecycle layer that improves intelligence over time
  • A scalable foundation for machine intelligence, packaging line intelligence, inspection and broader factory insight

Applications

One intelligence platform, multiple industrial applications

01

Condition monitoring

Detect abnormal machine behaviour early and build toward diagnosis and predictive maintenance.

02

Vision-based inspection

Enable edge-based inspection and quality control in operational environments, including packaging, labeling and product verification use cases.

03

Application exampleRepeatable application path: packaging line intelligence

An example of how the edge-native platform could support packaging inspection and product verification. Inspection functions, camera positions, SKU rules and decision outputs must be agreed and validated for each application.

Why This Is Different

A new industrial intelligence architecture for real factories

Most industrial software layers try to connect and structure data that already exists. Controlable adds new intelligence where it does not yet exist — through smart edge devices, local AI and a non-invasive deployment model built for real production environments.

Our approach is fundamentally different:

  • Machine-agnostic and manufacturer-agnostic
  • Non-invasive and independent from existing systems
  • Fully on-premise by design, with optional secure dedicated cloud
  • Low data transfer and low latency through local processing
  • No long-term platform lock-in
  • Scalable across brownfield, newer assets and mixed-OEM environments
  • Attractive investment profile through phased deployment and direct operational value

This creates a practical path to industrial intelligence for companies where existing approaches remain too heavy, too expensive or too dependent on central cloud and integration projects. Designed for continuous condition monitoring across a broader asset base from the outset, rather than periodic snapshot-based analysis on only a limited number of machines.

Development path

From visibility to industrial intelligence

  1. Current foundation

    Visibility

    Make assets visible, measurable and interpretable.

  2. Current foundation

    Anomaly intelligence

    Structure deviations, detect what matters and continuously monitor changes in asset condition.

  3. Development path

    Diagnosis

    Develop fault-family and component-level understanding with representative data and application-specific validation.

  4. Development path

    Scaled intelligence

    Progress toward prognostics, fleet intelligence and broader rollout as the evidence supports it.

The current foundation is visibility, anomaly intelligence and continuous condition monitoring at the edge. Later stages require suitable data, development and validation for each application; progression and predictive outcomes are not guaranteed.

Who This Is For

Built for organisations responsible for critical assets

Our platform is designed for organisations that want to add new intelligence to existing industrial assets without rebuilding their factory stack.

OEMs

Enhancing machines with intelligent monitoring, inspection and service layers without rebuilding the full machine stack.

Manufacturers

Adding practical intelligence across brownfield lines, mixed-OEM environments and existing production assets.

Asset Owners

Improving uptime, visibility and long-term value across installed assets through a non-invasive intelligence layer.

The platform scales from a single machine or production line toward broader factory deployment.

Our Mission

Practical industrial intelligence — under customer control

Our mission is to make industrial intelligence practical and reachable for production environments where existing approaches remain too cloud-heavy, too invasive, too expensive or too complex to deploy at scale.

Too often, factories are expected to modernise by rebuilding systems around central platforms. We believe there is a better path: add new intelligence locally, close to machines, lines and operations, while keeping control over data, deployment and decisions.

By combining smart edge devices, on-device AI and secure platform integration, Controlable enables organisations to add intelligence where it does not yet exist — with limited data transfer, low latency and the flexibility to stay fully on-premise by design.
