Industrial AI & Operations Intelligence

ANY PLATFORM CAN
SHOW YOU THE DATA.
WE GET YOUR TEAM
TO ACT ON IT.

Today's AI can find the pattern — but only if the data is shaped correctly and given the right context. We capture and integrate your operational data, run AI research on it, and close the loop with the people on shift. Connects to your existing SCADA, historians, and sensor infrastructure. No rip-and-replace.

The Platform
One Loop.
Five Products.

Each product owns one step. Together they move data from the frontline, through AI, and back to the people who can act on it — and every pass makes the next form, model and decision smarter.

Collect with Forma. Integrate with Nexus. Research with Praxis. Model with TSAI. Engage with Performa. Then the operators generate the data for the next cycle.

Industries
Built for Mining.
Proven Beyond It.

Coal preparation, metal mining, mineral processing — and any industrial operation with SCADA systems and shift-based labor.

Why It Is Shaped This Way
From Data
to Action

A data warehouse is a cost center until someone acts on what it says. Every product exists to move data up one rung — and the value is only realized at the top.

Getting there means two things nobody skips on our platform: easy access, and a reason to act.

Action
Induce it

Feedback, scoreboards & gamification put the insight into the shift — where value is realized.

Performa
Knowledge
Analyze

Generative and traditional AI turn information into insight and concrete action plans.

PraxisTSAI
Information
Integrate & contextualize

One warehouse joins every record to its operating context — context is what makes AI work.

Nexus
Data
Gain access

Capture at the source — forms, photo & OCR — and ETL from every third-party system.

AI Inside the Platform
Not a Feature Bolted On.
How the Platform Is Built and Run.

AI does the integration

Nexus profiles every source, generates the ETL, and watches the pipelines for drift — heading toward specialist integration agents that maintain each domain like a staffed team.

Built with AI, maintained by AI

The platforms are AI-native: documentation generated with every change, consistent regenerable patterns — better maintained than the vendor code they replace.

Research that keeps running

Praxis reads the published safety literature, traces its datasets, reproduces the findings on your data and deploys them as forms and field checks — point, save, schedule, return.

Hyper-focused process models

TSAI fuses analog, Boolean and relational signals inside a focused context window per circuit — blend analysis, density control, signal detection — assembled and maintained by agents.

How AI runs the platform →
Your Data. Your AI.
Not a Black Box

Most safety and operations suites lock you out of your own data — limited exports, per-seat APIs — so you can't point AI at it. Everything on our platform lands in one warehouse with full query-level access, running on-premise at your site with no cloud dependency.

A growing context library — your bow-ties, critical controls, site history — grounds the AI in your operation, not a generic model of someone else's.

Easy Access
Everyone Ends Up
in Excel

So we build for it. Every platform ships with a Microsoft Excel add-in — live, governed access to the warehouse and the platform's AI functions from the sheet. No new software, no browser, no IT approval for most operations.

SME Annual Meeting — Salt Lake City
Dr Data Mining to Present Core Natural Resources Digital Transformation Results

Dr. Sean Dessureault will co-present with Core Natural Resources' Eric Shereda during the COAL & ENERGY: TECHNOLOGY, INNOVATIONS, & AI/ML session on Tuesday, February 25th. The presentation highlights how operational data, time-series intelligence, and performance engagement workflows can be deployed in real mining environments to support measurable operational impact.

Enterprise Expansion
Phase 2 Deployment Underway With Core Natural Resources

Following promising Phase 1 results at the Bailey Coal Preparation Plant and across the Pennsylvania Mining Complex, Core Natural Resources has elected to expand the program into Phase 2 — scaling TSAI and Performa from Pennsylvania to Core's broader portfolio of underground mines and preparation plants.

How We Work
We Start as Consultants.
Not Vendors. Not Software Salespeople.

We earn credibility with findings before we sell anything — and if the platform isn't the right answer, we'll tell you that.

01
Consulting & Assessment
We assess your data landscape, technology stack, and operational maturity. You get an honest picture of what's possible — and what isn't.

Fixed-fee consulting. No platform commitment required.

02
Data Exploration & AI Development
We connect to your data — SCADA, PLCs, lab systems, shift logs, ERP — and explore it systematically. Every finding is backed by your own numbers, not generic benchmarks.

Findings delivered as presentations, dashboards, and recommendations.

03
Platform Operationalization
Findings don't pay the bills. Changed behavior does. We deploy TSAI for real-time data infrastructure and analytics, and Performa to put performance accountability in front of every operator.

Platform deployment. Currently active across 11 sites.

04
Reliable Support
Deployment isn't the finish line. Models drift. Processes change. New operators come on shift. We keep the platforms calibrated, the algorithms current, and the scorecards meaningful.

Ongoing support & continuous improvement. Long-term partnership.
