Engineering Intelligence
Your operation, understood.
Your expertise, compounding.
DanaOS brings operational context and expert judgment to governed AI.
Operational world — same OS, different pack
Industrial AI, in production
The physical world runs on expertise.
Now it runs on DanaOS.
The DanaOS architecture
Four layers. One runtime.
Vendor extensionsHoneywell BMS · Experionover verticals
Vertical packsBuilding · Industrial · Semi · Mining · Oil & Gas · Maritime · Gridcompose, don’t fork
Cross-vertical foundationsspatial · process-flow · equipment · enterprisethe non-forking tier · governed modules
Substrate runtimegoverned agents · two-tier ontology · sovereignty
Vertical packs compose shared foundations — they don't fork them. The runtime never changes per domain.
One operating layer. Different operational worlds.
Choose the world DanaOS needs to understand.
An Operational Pack composes shared foundations—spatial, process-flow, equipment, and enterprise intelligence—with the computations, models, adapters, views, actions, and expert methods specific to your environment.
DanaOS integrates your existing sensors and operational systems; it is not a sensor platform.
Systems, spaces, comfort
Building context for rooms, zones, occupants, HVAC, energy, demand, and spatial relationships.

Explore the pack →Your best operators make split-second calls from decades of pattern recognition. None of it is written down — and every retirement takes more of it out the door.
It's the most valuable thing your enterprise owns — and the one thing no AI has been able to reach.
Why existing AI isn't enough
General-purpose AI was trained on the public internet. Your expertise never was.
The knowledge that runs your operation is private, tacit, and consequential — exactly what general-purpose AI can't reach, by design.
General-purpose AI → Engineering Intelligence
Trained on
The public internet — it has never seen your private, air-gapped data.
→
Runs on
Your private data, inside your boundary — the data it was built for.
Retrieves
Documents it can match. It cannot encode the tacit judgment behind a 3 a.m. call.
→
Encodes
Judgment as a Cognitive Ontology that acts, not a document to retrieve.
Optimizes for
Plausibility. A confident wrong answer is dangerous on a fab floor.
→
Governs
Every action: propose, verify, commit — under your authority, with lineage.
A new category
The ability for organizations to preserve, apply, and continuously improve engineering expertise with AI.
Industrial AI is the market. Engineering Intelligence is the missing capability inside it — and DanaOS is how it's delivered.
01
Preserve
Capture engineering expertise as a Cognitive Ontology — typed, versioned, governed knowledge that never walks out the door.
→
02
Apply
Run it as governed, autonomous agents — perceiving, diagnosing, and acting inside the authority you set.
→
03
Improve
Every verified run deepens the knowledge base. Expertise becomes a compounding asset instead of a depreciating one.
How DanaOS delivers it
Four properties. Each one serves a verb of Engineering Intelligence.
01 · preserves
Domain-native
Reasons over your Cognitive Ontology — not a generic model's guesswork.
02 · applies
Autonomous
Perceives, diagnoses, acts — under governance, with a human where stakes demand.
03 · keeps it yours
Sovereign
On-prem, edge, air-gapped. Nothing leaves your walls.
04 · improves
Self-improving
Every run deepens the knowledge base. A compounding asset, not depreciating software.
What you run on it
One layer under every high-value workflow.
Not a point tool — one runtime the same team reuses across every workflow that moves the numbers.
Predictive maintenance
Fewer unplanned stops
Catch degradation before it takes the asset down.
Operator copilot
Every shift decides like your best
Encoded judgment on hand 24/7.
Asset & process optimization
More output, same iron
Hold set-points at the efficient edge. Capacity without capex.
Anomaly detection & RCA
Root cause in minutes
20 minutes, not three days.
How an agent operates
A governed procedure — with judgment only where it's needed.
Not a chatbot. A pinned workflow — with a bounded See → Think → Act → Reflect loop only where judgment is needed, inside the authority you set.
S
See
Perceive state from sensors, control systems, and operational data.
→
T
Think
Reason over the Cognitive Ontology — neural where judgment helps, symbolic where correctness is required.
→
A
Act
Execute a governed action or recommendation, with a human in the loop where the stakes demand it.
→
R
Reflect
Evaluate the outcome and fold it back into the knowledge base.
Cognitive Ontology — the core technology
Two kinds of knowledge. Most operations have captured only one.
The technology behind EI is the Cognitive Ontology — and you already have half of it. You run on a Structural Ontology: asset trees, P&IDs, ISA-95 — a map of what's there. What's never been written down is the Cognitive Ontology — how your experts diagnose, when to intervene, what “good” looks like. The upgrade is from inventory to procedure.
Structural Ontology — what's there
Assets, topology, failure modes. BIM, Brick, ISA-95, P&IDs.
Cognitive Ontology — what to do about it
Procedures, rules, expert judgment — typed, versioned, governed, executable.
Your expertise is your moat
Sovereignty means it stays yours — and compounds.
"80% of the world's data is private. OpenAI won't have access to it. …that data gives you a real moat."
Kevin Weil, Chief Product Officer, OpenAI
Every query to closed cloud AI ships your expertise elsewhere. DanaOS keeps it inside your walls — and deepens a moat competitors can't shortcut.
You own your data & expertise
Encoded as a Cognitive Ontology. No data leaves your jurisdiction.
Open, auditable reasoning
Deterministic where it matters. Every decision carries lineage.
A compounding knowledge moat
Each deployment deepens a Sector Ontology rivals can't shortcut.
