Phaidra

Phaidra is an AI Co-Pilot deployed to help operations teams in mission critical facilities deliver step function improvements in stability, energy efficiency and sustainability. We create self-learning, intelligent control systems for industrial facilities. Our co-founders and leadership team represent the combination of deep artificial intelligence and machine learning expertise from companies like Google-Deepmind, with the applied knowledge of mission critical cooling and heating systems from organizations like Trane and Johnson Controls. The industrial sector today is filled with static infrastructure. Pharmaceutical production, data centers, district energy and other industrial facilities are frozen in time — they operate in the same way they've operated for years because their control systems are hard-coded, and hard-coded systems cannot change dynamically, leading to performance degradation and a lack of resiliency. Our AI-powered control systems automatically learn, adapt, and get better over time. Our team has already delivered 40% energy savings at Google's data centers, and we're rapidly bringing AI technology to other types of industrial facilities.
