When power is unstable, margin disappears. We fix the control layer first.
Your power, on autopilot.
Cortex coordinates your diesel, solar, battery, and grid as one system. It predicts outages, prepares before they hit, and keeps critical loads online with local edge control. Less diesel. Fewer disruptions. Better margins.
Multiple Controllers. Zero Coordination.
Each energy asset has its own logic, but nothing coordinates transitions across the full site. That is where failures, diesel overuse, and production interruptions happen.
Sub-metering Gridlock
Wiring every cooling unit, charger, and line takes months. Most projects stall before useful control starts.
Assets in Silos
Grid, generator, solar, batteries: each with its own controller, none of them aware of what the others are doing.
Diesel as Default
During load shedding, generators often run longer than needed. Fuel spend climbs and margins shrink.
Control Without Rip-and-Replace
We start from one mains sensor and lightweight controller integration, so you get visibility and coordinated control without a full retrofit.
What changes when your assets coordinate.
Less Diesel, More Margin
Your generator runs only when it needs to. Cortex coordinates your grid, solar, and battery to minimise diesel runtime, so fuel spend drops and margins recover.
Production Keeps Running
Seamless switching between grid, diesel, solar, and battery. Your cold rooms stay cold and your line keeps moving through load shedding.
Prepared Before It Hits
Cortex reads grid patterns and acts ahead of time: pre-cooling, pre-charging, shifting loads before load shedding arrives.
Measure Once. Control Everything.
From a single sensor on your mains, we see everything and coordinate it all.
Infer
One edge controller per zone. Our models separate aggregate signals into generation, storage, cooling, backup power, and base load without sub-meter rewiring.
Orchestrate
Cortex coordinates transitions across grid, diesel, solar, and storage with millisecond response. Batteries pre-charge before outages. Generators run only when required. Loads shift to match available supply.
Optimise
Cut diesel and protect uptime through predictive load-shedding management. Performance improves as the system learns your site patterns.
Deploy
Pre-configured edge controllers ship ready for commissioning. No sub-meter rollout, minimal integration overhead, and OTA updates for continuous improvement. Operational in days, not quarters.
Ready to cut diesel?
Most sites see results within weeks, not months. One sensor. No integration. No disruption.
Built for where you actually operate.
Abidjan, Manaus, Colombo. Most facilities already run an accidental microgrid. What is missing is coordination.
Grid schedule says 4pm-10pm. Reality is 6pm-8pm, maybe.
Ovens need preheating. Diesel costs 3-5x grid electricity. Production shifts to grid windows when available. When grid fails, controllers continue autonomously on diesel, queuing non-urgent work for later.
See How It Works →Cold rooms consume 40% of energy costs. Running them on diesel destroys margins.
Pre-cool aggressively when grid power is available, building thermal buffer. During outages, diesel backup is managed based on product value and temperature sensitivity.
See How It Works →Dry season strains hydro capacity. Load shedding schedules extend for weeks.
Solar is installed but uncoordinated with backup generation. Flexible loads shift to solar hours. Diesel runtime minimised during shedding windows. When rains return and grid stabilises, system adapts automatically.

Seamless switching keeps life support and refrigeration running. Cortex prioritises critical loads and minimises diesel waste during prolonged outages.

Proof points
Numbers your board will ask for.
Every deployment is measured against baseline fuel, uptime, and transition performance so finance and operations see the same outcome.
Controllers coordinate grid, solar, and gensets so the generator runs only when load actually needs it.
Edge logic keeps production online through load shedding — no waiting for the cloud or a human decision.
Fuel savings and avoided spoilage cover the hardware in under a year for most multi-site operators.
Modelled from Sub-Saharan and South Asian manufacturing deployments using IFC + customer benchmarks.
Let's Talk
If diesel costs and outages are hurting operations, we can model your site and show expected impact before deployment.
Factory Operators
Load shedding wrecking your production schedule? Diesel eating your margins? We can fix that, usually within weeks, not months.

$50B spent on diesel backup every year. Most of it is wasted. We are building the coordination layer that replaces it.
