Cortex — Industrial IoT Platform
Watch,Learn,Detect
Cortex is a modular, edge-AI predictive maintenance platform that continuously monitors the condition of electrical distribution equipment and rotating machinery in industrial facilities.
A failure does not begin on the day it happens
A loosening terminal or rising contact resistance produces a measurable gas and thermal signature weeks before it becomes a fire. A bearing defect in a CNC spindle appears in the vibration spectrum long before it marks the workpiece. The problem is not that these signs are absent — it is that nobody is watching continuously.
Panel fire
An unnoticed hot spot in an electrical panel means production downtime, equipment loss and a risk to life. ArcFire Sense catches that chain at the outgassing signature, before any smoke forms.
Unplanned downtime
A bearing or spindle failure turns into an unplanned stop and days of lost production. Vibro and VibroPro Sense measure the early-stage spectral signature weeks ahead.
Environment and compliance
Outgassing in battery rooms, inadequate ventilation in server rooms, carbon monoxide in generator cabinets — AirQuality Sense tracks all of it with measured data instead of assumptions.
How it works
Cortex has three layers. Measurement happens in the field, the decision is made at the edge, and the cloud learns at fleet scale.
- 01
Measurement layer
Sense probes are mounted inside the panel or on the machine, measuring gas, thermal, vibration and air quality channels. Signal processing begins on the probe itself.
Sense probes → - 02
Processing layer
The IQ Panel collects data from every probe over the CAN-FD field bus, time-synchronises it and processes it on an embedded AI engine to produce a risk score. This step needs no cloud connection.
Platform architecture → - 03
Communication layer
A WiFi, cellular or LoRaWAN module — chosen to match the site infrastructure and fitted into the IQ Panel expansion slot. Field-swappable.
Communication modules → - 04
Cortex Cloud
The cloud AI platform processes fleet-wide data with deep learning and forecasting models, turning individual risk scores into fleet-scale predictive maintenance insight.

Cortex Product Family
Every Sense probe wires into the IQ Panel over a single CAN-FD field bus — a daisy chain of up to 32 nodes, with no dedicated run per probe.

Works without the cloud
Risk scoring and alarm generation run at the edge, on the IQ Panel. A communication outage does not stop an alarm — meeting the requirement for a network-independent safety function in critical infrastructure.
No threshold tuning on site
Every panel and machine is evaluated against its own reference signature. Equipment with different load and speed characteristics does not need thresholds defined one by one.
One cable, 32 nodes
The galvanically isolated CAN-FD field bus is a daisy chain. A single cable run serves every probe in a panel or along a machine line.
Integration without middleware
Connects directly to SCADA, MES and ERP systems over Modbus TCP/RTU and MQTT/TLS. Every probe type reports into a single consistent register model.

Each week we publish a piece describing a realistic field scenario and the difference Cortex makes in it.
