Phaidra is an industrial AI company. We create self-learning, intelligent control systems for industrial facilities. The physical world today is filled with static infrastructure. Factories, power plants, and other industrial facilities are frozen in time — they operate in the same way they've operated for decades because their control systems are hard-coded. And hard-coded systems cannot change, leading to performance degradation and a lack of resiliency. Phaidra creates AI-powered control systems that automatically learn, adapt, and get better over time. Just as autonomous vehicles get smarter over time, so too will future industrial facilities. Our team has already delivered 40% energy savings at Google's data centers, and we're rapidly bringing AI technology to other types of industrial facilities.
Phaidra creates self-learning control systems for mission-critical industries. This enables efficiency, sustainability, and control stability to automatically improve — every single day. A closed-loop control service that integrates directly with your existing supervisory control system and data historian. This is a pure-software cloud solution. No new hardware is required. Our AI control system will outperform the existing Sequence of Operation or Model Predictive Control on Day 1. And it will only get better over time as the AI learns your system dynamics. 99% of AI is smoke and mirrors. Our team comes from DeepMind — the world's #1 AI company. We know how to create safe and reliable AI for mission-critical facilities (like pharmaceutical manufacturing and Google's data centers). Performance cannot come at the cost of safety/reliability. Our AI can improve both — simultaneously. Combining expertise from Google DeepMind with industrial automation.
