Cognite launches AI-native industrial workflow platform
(WO) — Cognite has launched Cognite Flows, a new industrial AI workflow platform designed to integrate operational data, applications and AI-driven insights into a unified workspace for industrial users.
The platform is intended to help operators, engineers and frontline personnel access real-time operational information across multiple systems without switching between separate applications and databases. According to Cognite, the system is built on the company’s Industrial Knowledge Graph platform and supports AI-assisted workflows and application development.
Cognite said the platform is designed to reduce the complexity associated with fragmented industrial data systems while accelerating deployment of operational applications and AI-enabled workflows.
The company stated that Cognite Flows allows developers to build and deploy industrial applications more rapidly through integration with AI-native development tools and contextualized operational data.
Jonathan Lang, research director at IDC, said industrial organizations continue facing challenges scaling AI initiatives due to the specialized requirements of operational environments.
“Industrial organizations, in particular, struggle to scale their AI initiatives because they need specialized capabilities not easily supported by horizontal enterprise technologies,” Lang said. “Cognite Flows builds on the company’s core capabilities and has the potential to represent a significant leap in how industrial AI can improve the industrial experience for users and developers alike.”
According to Cognite, more than 30% of its customer base and strategic partners have already adopted or tested the platform, including industrial and energy-sector users.
The company cited deployments involving operational transparency, root-cause analysis and workflow automation use cases. Cognite said some customers have used the platform to reduce application development timelines and accelerate deployment of operational analytics.
Cognite CEO Girish Rishi said industrial operations have historically relied on disconnected technologies and workflows, creating inefficiencies across operations, supply chains and maintenance activities.
The launch reflects continued industry investment in AI-enabled industrial software platforms aimed at improving operational efficiency, workflow integration and real-time decision-making across energy and industrial sectors.
