Technology Partners

Technology follows the need.

We start from the problem, not the product. The partners below cover the areas where we have found technology worth building on, and where we can take a solution beyond selection, into engineering, integration and delivery.

Decarbonization · Energy

Thermal Energy Storage

Industrial process heat and steam are still overwhelmingly gas-fired, exposed to volatile prices and rising carbon costs. Thermal energy storage charges on cheap electricity or on waste heat the plant is already losing, and returns it as reliable process heat for continuous production.

We deliver this with leading European technology partners: feasibility, business case, integration engineering and local implementation, including as-a-service commercial models that turn a capital decision into an operating one.

Best fitEnergy-intensive continuous production with steam, hot air or high-temperature process heat demand: food processing, pulp & paper, chemicals, ceramics, metals.

Owner's benefitA hedge against gas and power price volatility, with Scope 1 reduction following from the same investment.

Our roleTechnology selection between competing storage systems, process integration, and owner-side project delivery.

Industrial Data & AI · with Optimistik

Plant Digitalization

Operators reviewing process control charts on a plant floor terminal

Your plant already produces the data. It rarely produces decisions. OIAnalytics is an All-in-One Industrial Data and AI Solution operating across more than 150 process manufacturing sites. By unifying process, energy, quality and production data into a single context, OIAnalytics delivers clear loss analysis, actionable diagnostics, statistical process control and measurable gains in OEE and energy efficiency — line by line, unit by unit.

Between platform deployment and measurable results there is engineering work. That is what we do.

System integration — unify historian, MES, ERP and laboratory data into one solid foundation.
Targeted analytics — define key improvement objectives and develop process-specific models tailored to your operation.
Risk-free expansion — start with a targeted single-line pilot, demonstrate the value, then expand plant-wide with full operational support.

OIAnalytics detects what changed. Determining why it matters and what to do about it is a process question — that is where we work with your team.

Best fitProcess manufacturing plants with underused data across historian, MES, ERP and laboratory systems, and a pressing efficiency, capacity or energy target.

Owner's benefitMeasured yield and energy improvements paired with a data foundation for every future optimization decision.

Our roleDeployment and system integration, improvement target definition, custom model development, pilot leadership and rollout.

Digital Agriculture · with xFarm Technologies

Digital Agriculture

Two different needs, one platform. A farming operation runs on agronomic decisions, input costs and machinery utilisation. A processor with contracted growers needs the same field data for intake quality, traceability and reporting. Both come from the same place: what actually happens in the field.

xFarm Technologies is a Swiss farm management platform used by more than 600,000 farmers across 12.6 million hectares. It covers field operations, machinery and input tracking, agronomic decision support, satellite and sensor data, supply chain traceability, carbon footprint and regenerative agriculture programs. We deploy it across farms and grower networks, and where a plant is involved, connect field data to intake.

Best fitLarge farming enterprises and cooperatives, and processors with direct farming or structured grower contracts: dairy, grain, oilseed, fruit & vegetable chains.

Owner's benefitBetter yields and lower input costs at farm level, more predictable intake quality where a plant is involved, and traceability and carbon data that come out of daily operations rather than a separate reporting exercise.

Our roleDeployment across farms or grower networks, agronomic and operational onboarding, integration with plant systems where required, reporting architecture.
