Octotronic

OctoCore unifies OT and IT data like sensors, cameras, machines, and IT systems. Empowering shop floor teams with real-time data, AI, and analytic tools to drive manufacturing excellence at scale.

In just 10 months, OctoCore has won 13 paying customers, including BMW, Autoneum, KION, VAT, and General Dynamics. Our platform delivers measurable impact within weeks, not months, enabling real-time visibility and AI-driven insights directly on the shopfloor. We’re cutting the traditionally long industrial tech sales cycle by providing immediate value through ready-to-deploy use cases, built for the people who know production best.

Manufacturers generate more data than ever, yet most of it remains trapped in silos. OT and IT systems are fragmented, integrations are complex, and analytics depend on scarce IT expertise, making AI projects slow, costly, and hard to scale. Digital transformation is often IT-led, leaving out OT experts who understand production best, while management lacks real-time transparency of what happens on the shop floor. The traditional automation pyramid with data silos like MES and ERP at its core no longer works in the AI era, it was built for hierarchy, not for data-driven intelligence.

OctoCore solves this by breaking the automation pyramid and creating a Unified Data Intelligence Platform for the shopfloor. It integrates sensors, PLCs, MES, and ERP into one contextualized data foundation - best in class Unified Namespace - that’s instantly usable by both people and AI. With intuitive data governance, analytics, AI tools, OctoCore empowers OT teams to build, automate, and scale high ROI use cases without complex IT involvement.

OctoCore follows a SaaS subscription model with tiered pricing per production site, based on data volume and functionality. Customers begin with use case–driven pilots (30–50k CHF) that seamlessly convert into recurring licenses as value scales across sites. Additional revenue comes from digital transformation accelerator services offered as a subscription, to be outsourced to integrators over time. This hybrid model enables fast adoption, predictable recurring revenue, and scalable growth across global manufacturing networks.
