Portfolio

Six solutions, one mission.

From organic waste to port terminals, each solution tackles a concrete problem with measurable environmental and economic value. Open any of them to see how it works.

How we build

Four disciplines, combined.

Our six verticals draw on a different mix of the same four disciplines. Digital twins, process engineering and planning run through all of them; biotechnology and nanotechnology power our climate and water plants.

Biotechnology

Biological processes that turn organic waste into value and help purify water.

Nanotechnology

Graphene and carbon-nanotube materials for selective filtration and advanced products.

Engineering

Modular micro plants and industrial-grade systems built to operate in the field.

Artificial Intelligence

Digital twins, optimization and forecasting that turn operating data into decisions.

Industrial plant and its digital twin

Industry · Energy

Ai-RElia-BDt

A digital twin for smarter, greener industrial operations.

An AI-based digital twin designed to reduce the carbon footprint of large industrial assets. It gives operators real-time insight to make faster decisions that support sustainability goals while reducing risk.

  • Real-time energy optimization and lower emissions.
  • Proactive prevention of environmental incidents.
  • Higher asset reliability and operational efficiency.

Ports · Logistics

BerthWise.io

Smarter berths. Higher efficiency.

A berth planning platform for port terminals. Instead of first-come, first-served, it decides which vessel berths where and when, re-plans in seconds when something changes, and tells each ship the speed to sail so it arrives just in time instead of waiting at anchor.

  • Constraint-optimization engine that predicts real arrival and service times.
  • Instant re-planning after weather closures or crane maintenance.
  • Shipping-line portal and a 3D digital twin of the port.
