They’ve all retired.
Only he knows how this unit runs.
Building autonomous operations for the most critical industries.
2.8 million
of the 3.8 million manufacturing jobs the US needs by 2033 are to replace people who retire.
Deloitte and The Manufacturing Institute, 2024
And plants are being asked to make more.
Almost 3 times
the plastics the world uses each year by 2060, if policies stay as they are.
OECD, Global Plastics Outlook, 2022
Crude is bought months before it reaches the plant.
By then, the price and the plan have moved.
7 weeks
at sea from the Persian Gulf to the US Gulf Coast.
US EIA, 2017 and 2024
Every system keeps its own picture of the plant.
None of them sees the whole.
The warning is already in the data.
No single screen shows it.
3,712 alarms
in the 12 hours before a fatal 2022 refinery fire.
US Chemical Safety Board, final report, 2024
Then a warm afternoon.
The relief valve lifts.
One leak. Everyone on site is in danger.
Over $33 billion
in damage from the industry's 100 largest losses. Lost production often costs two to three times more.
Marsh, The 100 Largest Losses, 2016
Nearly 60 lives
lost in a decade of accidents at US chemical facilities. Some 17,000 more injured or treated.
US Environmental Protection Agency, 2016
It didn’t have to happen. Let’s go back.
Before any alarm.
LLMs can’t predict physics.
“AI such as LLMs almost certainly should not be used to make safety decisions for OT environments.”
CISA and partners, December 2025
Meet IRIS.
It calculates what no instrument measures.
Eight days of warning before the cooling valve runs out.
IRIS advises. You maintain control.
The same warm afternoon. Nothing happens.
- Production on plan.
- No trip.
- No flaring.
- Nobody at risk.
Over $3 million
a day in lost margin that a refinery can give up while it is shut down, planned or not.
KBR, Hydrocarbon Engineering, 2025
The Dominus world model
Physics bounded intelligence. One world model that connects every system, from planning down to the base controls.
IRIS learns how your plant behaves from its own history, and stands beside every operator.
IRIS installs beside what you already run, and stays inside your fence.
- Your controls stay.
- Data flows one way.
- On premises and offline.
- IRIS writes to no plant system.
