Factories, power plants, buildings, etc. operate in the same way they've operated for decades — because the controls programming is hard-coded. Thousands of lines of rules and heuristics define how the machines interact with each other. The result of all this hard-coding is that facilities are frozen in time, unable to adapt to their environment while their performance slowly degrades. Phaidra analyzes massive amounts of sensor data and creates intelligent AI agents that automatically control and optimize complex industrial facilities. Customers use Phaidra to improve energy efficiency and sustainability; increase plant safety and stability; and maximize yield. The startup is refining its product based on customer needs, and $12 million investment awarded in 2024 is being used to roll out its data centre cooling control systems, a use-case the firm is doubling down on. The startup says its systems can reduce the energy consumption of a plant by up to 30%, increasing profitability and reducing emissions in the process.
