Industries
A live model of plants, grids, mines and field crews, linking assets, work orders, safety and emissions so operators can maintain, report and respond with less guesswork.
01How the work happens today
Power utilities, mines and plants run on equipment that is decades old and new in the same site. Control systems record sensor readings. A maintenance system holds work orders. An ERP holds spare parts and purchases. Meters, billing and customer systems belong to another team. Safety incidents are recorded in forms and reports. Many sites are remote, with limited bandwidth, so some of this data is exported by hand.
When data stays in separate systems, a failing transformer or conveyor is noticed late. Maintenance follows a calendar instead of condition because nobody can join readings to repair history. Spare parts are ordered in a rush. Safety teams find patterns only in quarterly reviews. ESG and emissions reports are built from spreadsheets for investors, lenders and regulators, and the numbers are hard to defend. Utilities lose revenue to theft and losses they cannot locate on the network.
02A starting model for the sector
13 core things
The nouns of the sector. Each object has an identity, properties and a history, and maps to records in the source systems.
8 core relationships
How the objects connect. Links turn separate tables into a graph that people and agents can walk.
6 governed actions
What people and approved agents may do. Each action has rules, an approver where needed and a log entry.
03What changes on the ground
Situation
A power plant schedules maintenance on fixed dates. A pump fails between services and trips a line. Vibration and temperature trends were available but nobody joined them to repair history.
What it does
Sensors, maintenance records and operating hours attach to each asset. A model flags assets whose readings drift toward past failure patterns and drafts a work order with the evidence.
Human decides
The maintenance planner approves, delays or rejects the work order. Engineers own the thresholds and review false alarms.
04Sources to connect
We read from your existing systems first and write back only through approved actions. Every source has a named owner. Where connectivity is weak or records are on paper, we plan for queued sync and OCR with human review.

05Laws that shape the design
| Country | Law | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| South Africa | POPIA | Employee, contractor and customer data need lawful processing and safeguards. |
| Nigeria | NDPA 2023 | Customer metering data and workforce records are personal data and call for documented controls. |
| Kenya | Data Protection Act 2019 | Consumer and employee data need a lawful basis and appropriate security. |
| Ghana | Data Protection Act 2012 | Utility customer data falls under the controller principles. |
| Sector rules | Energy, mining and environment regulators | Licensing, safety and emissions reporting rules differ by country and license. |
Operational technology also raises security obligations and sometimes critical infrastructure rules. These are examples only. Confirm what applies to your licenses with counsel and your regulators. Examples only, not legal advice. Confirm with counsel.
06How each product serves this sector
Model plane
Models sites, assets, work orders, permits and incidents as one connected graph, and provides the maintenance, safety and ESG views.
Trust plane
Controls access for engineers, contractors and automated agents, including temporary access for a visiting crew, with every grant logged.
Control plane
Constrains maintenance and reporting agents to approved data and actions. It can propose a work order but cannot override a safety interlock.
Runtime plane
Provides the data platform and runtime, with portable deployment close to the site and sync from low bandwidth links.
Observation plane
Logs which readings and rules triggered a work order or alert, which helps in incident reviews and audits.
07
08
Sovereign data and AI foundations for identity, revenue, procurement and service delivery, built so agencies share facts without losing control of who sees what.
Real-time visibility across ports, corridors, customs, fleets and warehouses, with one shipment record that carriers, forwarders, shippers and agencies can trust.
Join network, subscriber, mobile money and partner data into one model, and give operators a private place to run AI inference close to their customers.
Experience you can lean on
Immersed in technology and across many different verticals, so the people on your project have done this before.
