ARGUS: the AI Conductor for Industrial Space.
The Singular AI — Perceive the Whole. Optimize the Yield. Orchestrate the Flow.
Powered by Physical Orchestrated Intelligence (POI), our novel principle of Physical AI.
How does ARGUS work?
1. Perceive the whole site and
create real-time digital twin
2. Derive the optimal solution
for maximum throughput
3. Orchestrates robot actions, operator tasks, and operational improvements
Today’s Industrial AI/DX is Siloed.
Today’s factories rely on disconnected systems — safety, vision, inventory, robots, AGVs — each with its own interface, vendor, and learning curve.
Meet ARGUS —
the AI conductor for your site
ARGUS is a real-time AI system embedded directly into your building.
It connects sensors, machines, robots, and software into one unified intelligence, allowing operators to observe, ask, decide, and orchestrate actions — naturally.
No more switching systems. No more siloed automation.
Example Features
Physical Orchestrated Intelligence.
A new class of Embodied AI that puts the brain in the infrastructure—not just the robot—to orchestrate safety, speed, and flow.
