The most ambitious industrial software start-up in Norway

IIoT. The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is generating huge amounts of data from sensors in industrial devices. Combined with the advent of indefinite computing power available on demand in the cloud and machine learning techniques, industrial value chains will be fundamentally disrupted by software, and data will emerge as the world’s most valuable resource.

Cognite. The IIoT data platform that Cognite is developing empowers customers to collect and analyze all this industrial data real-time. The name Cognite comes from our ambition of building the world's best industrial brain, with the ability to ingest and process industrial data using cognitive computing. Data are like signals to a human brain. Cognite technology can both react instantly, as well as learn over time. This will enable unified, scalable, and secure access to data for internal and external experts who can deploy state-of-the-art algorithms to solve business critical problems.

Who is using Cognite.  Our main customer today is Aker BP, with whom we have entered into a long-term strategic partnership. On the back of this and our solid funding, we are targeting to grow quickly to a global market across industries.

Working at
Cognite

Cognite has a unique starting point and great of momentum on its side. The idea behind Cognite came when I was working on a digitalization project with the industrial conglomerate AKER ASA.  In less than 15 years there will be over 50 billion physical assets and machines connected to the Internet, and over seven billion Internet consumers. The exponential growth of data resulting from the increase in Internet users, combined with machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) will challenge the status quo of across all industries. We believe that data handling will become a competitive advantage for industrial companies across a range of sectors. Unlocking its tremendous capabilities should not just be for an elite group of companies. Cognite makes this technology available to our customers. Furthermore we think that the most successful companies will create alliances to leverage the numerous and complex data sources. We aim to deliver breakthrough customer benefits facilitating productivity-related savings, improved operations, increased safety, and new revenue opportunities. Our initial focus is to aggregate and process data from industrial sensors and corresponding applications combining it with 3D-models to see how these sensors are related to the physical world. This enables our customers and partners to create advanced visualizations and machine learning applications for optimization and automation. Please contact us if you're interested in learning more.
