Kelvin SmartApps
The System of Action for the Physical World
Kelvin governs AI agents that detect industrial events, recommend control actions, and prove impact at oil refineries, gas facilities, and power plants. From zero to deployment in under 20 minutes.
Trusted by industrial operators
Partner network includes AWS, Microsoft, Tridiagonal Solutions, and SoftServe
How Kelvin works
Three layers that turn raw process data into approved, documented control actions.
Detect
Spot events in real time
Kelvin SmartApps stream live data from industrial equipment using OPC-UA, MQTT, Modbus, OSI PI, and other protocols. Rolling data windows surface process anomalies and production events as they happen.
Decide
Generate and approve actions
SmartApps apply AI or first-principles logic to recommend precise control changes. Real-time guardrails and a full audit trail keep engineers in control. Field teams see 98%+ approval rates on recommendations.
Prove
Measure impact with data
Every action is logged. Grafana dashboards, telemetry storage, and built-in data visualization let teams quantify production gains, energy savings, and downtime avoided against clear baselines.
Why teams choose Kelvin
Real differences that matter when you are running equipment that cannot go down.
Deploy to the edge in under 20 minutes
Install the Kelvin SDK with a single pip command. Provision edge hardware with an automatic Kubernetes setup script. SmartApps run 24/7, even offline, close to the equipment they control.
Build with Python, integrate any ML model
The Python SDK lets control engineers and data scientists work in the same environment. Import trained models from MLFlow, Databricks, or SageMaker and deploy them as autonomous SmartApps without rebuilding from scratch.
Safe by design, not as an afterthought
Every recommendation passes through real-time guardrails before reaching equipment. Full audit trails record what was recommended, what was approved, and what changed. SOC2 compliant.
Works with your existing infrastructure
Runs on commercial off-the-shelf hardware, any cloud provider, or on-premises. Integrates with OPC-UA, Modbus, OSI PI, MQTT, ROC, and SQL. Supports existing Kubernetes clusters.
Scale from one asset to thousands
Start with a single compressor or well. The same SmartApp architecture scales to hundreds or thousands of edge devices across multiple sites without re-architecting.
ROI in under 12 months
Santos achieved 3x ROI in 12 months across CSG and Cooper Basin upstream operations. Industrial customers report multi-million dollar annual returns from production and energy improvements.
