Datacor knows where the batch went
A chemical business runs on recipes, records and awkward little exceptions. Datacor has spent four decades turning those exceptions into software - and is now buying its way deeper into the plant.
Elemica’s trillion-dollar translation business
Chemical companies built Elemica to get their incompatible systems talking. Twenty-six years later, the interesting part is what happens after the message arrives.
BatchMaster knows why a recipe is not an inventory list
A jar of cream and a drum of paint share an awkward secret: counting the ingredients is only the beginning. BatchMaster builds software for the formulas, tests and paper trails that make a batch fit to leave the factory.
The Factory Already Had the Answers. Seeq Made Them Take Minutes, Not Months.
Industrial plants were collecting oceans of sensor data and still waiting weeks for answers. Seeq built the missing analysis layer - and its best lesson is less about AI than about putting the people who know the process back in control.
ControlRooms.ai
ControlRooms.ai is an Austin-based industrial AI company that builds an AI-assisted troubleshooting platform for heavy industry - chemical, energy, and materials producers. Instead of relying on static, pre-programmed rules, its software learns a plant's normal behavior on its own and flags anomalies in real time across thousands of sensor parameters, helping operators catch small problems before they become unplanned trips, flaring events, or costly downtime. Founded in 2021 by serial AI entrepreneur Monte Zweben and Omar Talib, the company raised an oversubscribed $10M Series A in 2023 led by Origin Ventures and is live at industrial leaders including OCI Global and Ardagh Group.
