The problem

Your plan depends on recurring decisions.Different people make them every shift.

Every shift, day and week, people with different information and experience make the same decisions differently. Results change with who is on shift and what they know, and that is where the gaps between the plan and the plant come from.

See how the gaps happen
  1. Safety

    The operating envelope, and procedures for the abnormal.

    An overly conservative envelope, unexpected disturbances, and reactive, disjointed decisions.

  2. Reliability

    Balance degradation with production and asset utilization.

    Static hard constraints for asset health, decoupled from day-to-day objectives.

  3. Margin

    Optimize the economic and operational tradeoffs.

    Constraint giveaway invisible to operations, and sluggish reoptimization after upsets.

  4. Compliance

    Integrate compliance metrics into day-to-day operations.

    Environmental limits managed either reactively or too conservatively.

  5. Competency

    Formalize complex operation into repeatable procedures.

    Cyclical generational gaps, tribal knowledge, and personal preferences and opinions.

Every gap traces to recurring operating decisionsHow hard to run each unit, how far to chase a specification, when to reoptimize after an upset: made every shift, day and week by different people, with different information.
The answer

Decisions that keep up with the plant.

Imubit learns the plant from its own data and moves the key decisions every minute, across every unit, inside the envelope your engineers set. What Closed-Loop Physical AI means

Each unit runs to its own target, on its own schedule.

How it works

Map, Model and Control your gaps to plan.

Three problems every plant works around, and what changes when Imubit takes them on.

Map

Plan-to-plant gaps, traced to recurring decisions.

Map analyzes the plan and its intent across every source and ranks the gaps by impact and recurrence. It ties each recurring decision and disturbance to measured outcomes, so every team works from one map of objectives, constraints, decisions and outcomes.

Model

The cause and effect behind each gap.

Nonlinear, dynamic AI process models, built on your own history and guided by first principles, with every learned relationship visible. Deterministic causality, not correlation, links decisions, disturbances and outcomes, and your own engineers train the models.

Control

Key decisions executed, gaps closed.

AI controllers learn to steer the key decisions toward your objectives, within your constraints. Reinforcement learning across every process regime is captured in a deterministic controller your engineers certify, running inside the limits they set, and the models are retrained as the plant changes.

Built by your engineers

Build on a model you can control, audit and reproduce.

Your process engineers build a model of each unit from the plant's own history, and the model is deterministic: the same inputs give the same answer, every time. That makes it a base anyone on the team can build on, from a lab value predicted every minute to a closed-loop controller.

Works with what you have.Runs above your APC and DCS, on-premise. Nothing gets ripped out.
Yours to keep.What your engineers build on the models is yours, and so is the competitive advantage it creates.
Keeps up with the plant.As new data arrives, your engineers retrain the models and certify them again before they run.
Safety and trust

Always inside the envelope your engineers set.

Imubit works on top of your APC and DCS, never around them, and your operators can take over at any time. If anyone offers you closed loop, ask one question: does it move the setpoint every minute, within the limits your engineers set?

Imubit recommends each move. Your operator reviews it and applies it by hand.

The crew change

Thirty years on the unit.

Operators and engineers make decisions about the unit on every shift, and after decades much of that judgment sits with a few people. Each team also built its own tools, so numbers still move between teams by hand.

Now they are retiring.

about 10%→about 10%Share of US manufacturing workers over 55, 1995 to 2025

It has more than doubled in twenty years, and retirement rates have surged. When they go, thirty years of judgment about the unit goes with them.

What they knew can stay.

Years of their decisions live in the unit's own data. The model learns from that history, so what they knew stays in the model that runs the plant.

“We have these younger, newer engineers that are coming in place of 30 year employees, who no longer have to wait 30 years to acquire that experience. With Imubit, they have an opportunity to come in and make their mark on the organization.”

Common questions

What engineers ask first.

Let’s get started
What is Closed-Loop Physical AI?

AI that learns how a physical process responds to each move, then makes the key recurring decisions in closed loop, always inside the envelope your engineers set, and your operators can take over at any time.

Read the full answer
How does Imubit work with our APC and DCS?

On top of them, never instead of them. Imubit writes each move through the APC and DCS you already have.

Read the full answer
Do our operators stay in control?

Yes. Your engineers set the limits, and your operators decide when the controller runs and can take over at any time.

Read the full answer
What data does Imubit need, and does it have to be clean?

Your historian data and lab results, sent as they are. Our engineers screen and clean them in the platform and tell you if anything limits a use case.

Read the full answer
How is Imubit different from AI chat assistants?

Imubit is deterministic: under the same conditions it gives the same move, every time. Your assistants can ask its models questions, and closed loop never runs through a language model.

Do our engineers need to be data scientists?

No. Your process engineers build, test and retrain models of their own units with DLPC® Builder.

Find out what your gap to plan is costing you.

We start with the few decisions that cost your plant the most, and show you what closing them is worth before you commit.

  • One to two hours for your team to prepare and upload the data package

  • Results within a few working days of approval

  • No workshops

Send your data as it is. Gaps, outages and noisy tags are normal, and our engineers screen and clean them in the platform. If anything limits a use case, we tell you.
