Cerebre's plant models connect engineering schematics, operational data and facility knowledge across more than 200 plants.
Octave Intelligence plc announces the acquisition of Cerebre, a U.S.-based software company that transforms fragmented engineering schematics, plant data and engineering knowledge into a connected plant model.
Octave carries the engineering system of record for what its customers design and build across large-scale projects. Major global oil & gas companies use Cerebre’s models to combine the plant configuration, conditions and knowledge to represent how the facility is configured and operates as the plant dynamically changes. Combining the plant model and the engineering record will strengthen industrial AI use cases and has high-growth potential in brownfield facilities where plant data remains largely disconnected.
Most industrial AI starts from data and works backward to provide context. Cerebre’s model starts with the plant itself, enabling engineers to capture and govern plant-specific operational knowledge that is often siloed or lost today, reflecting how each team organizes and operates its plant. Reliability, process, inspection and operations teams review the model and make the final decisions. AI applications, whether Octave’s or a customer’s own, reason over an up-to-date representation of the plant. For Octave customers, this shortens the path from a first connected data source to many. The model remains the customer’s and operates agnostically, working alongside the tools they already use.
Cerebre’s capabilities will be delivered through the Octave platform and will be available to customers of Octave’s engineering and operations solutions. Further detail will follow in the coming months as part of Octave’s platform launch.
Founded in 2019, Cerebre is deployed at leading energy companies across 200+ plants and billions of usable data points. The company is expected to generate $8M in revenue in 2026, the majority of which is ARR, with high-growth potential.
