Kelvin

Kelvin, founded in 2013 and headquartered in Houston, Texas, develops industrial automation software aimed at bridging information technology and operational technology. The company's central proposition is an Autonomous Control Applications Platform, designed to turn legacy industrial operations into self-optimising systems by applying AI-driven control to existing plant infrastructure.

The platform is built around Python-based control application development, using open tools and simple primitives to stream data into machine-learning models and generate control recommendations. Its capabilities include effortless data streaming with machine-learning integration, scalable edge deployment and built-in safety guardrails for control systems. The emphasis is on ease of use for engineers alongside industrial-grade capability.

Deployment outcomes cited by the company include reductions of 2-5% in energy consumption and 45-50% in unplanned downtime. Notable customers include BP, Halliburton, Santos and Schneider Electric. Kelvin operates across the energy, oil and gas, manufacturing, process industries, utilities and steel sectors, with additional offices in Braga, Portugal and Melbourne, Australia, serving industrial clients globally.
