Cognite recently announced a major milestone in enterprise software. Its Industrial AI and Data Platform has unlocked over $1 billion in verified value for global clients. Not only that, but it is one year since the launch of its 10-year Moonshot initiative. Therefore, the company intends to provide $100 billion in cumulative value to its customers by 2035.
The industrial industry requires financial return on investment in software solutions. However, vendors tend to overlook such a metric in favor of more common measures. Cognite evaluates the performance metrics for each area of operation in asset-heavy industries. Moreover, the value team collaborates with the operators to confirm the savings achieved.
With regard to this milestone, the Industrial AI portfolio delivered considerable financial benefits in four major areas of operation:
- Reducing Unplanned Downtime: Driving 36% of total value through automated asset workflows.
- Boosting Frontline Productivity: Generating 27% of value by delivering contextual insight to engineers.
- Increasing Total Production: Accounting for 26% of value through higher yield and throughput.
- Accelerating Time to Value: Unlocking 10% of value by deploying solutions faster.
“Documenting $1 billion in verified value in just twelve months is a testament to the deep collaboration among our customers, partners, and the internal teams at Cognite that support them,” said Girish Rishi, CEO of Cognite. “When we set out to couple our industry-leading Industrial AI and Data Platform with a rigorous, repeatable process for measuring real ROI, we knew the result would be meaningful, immediate, and compounding. We are deeply grateful to our global customers and partners for their trust and collaboration as they lead the way in transforming heavy industry.”
Additionally, strategic partner Ignos utilizes Industrial AI tools to build real-time uptime tracking solutions for factory floors.
“At Ignos we build for the people on the shop floor, and we see the factory as a learning organization,” said Rolf Thu, Co-Founder and CTO at Ignos. “With Cognite, we connected 62 machines for one client in nine months and won back around 150 hours of machine uptime every day. When operators get the right data where they work, they create more. Cognite’s focus on verified value matches how we measure it: on the plant floor.”
Meanwhile, overall customer platform usage grew rapidly over the past twelve months. Therefore, knowledge graph operations surpassed 107 trillion contextualized data points.
“Industrial AI only delivers true value when it helps industrial companies solve high-stakes operational decisions and drive tangible impact,” said Noriko Rzonca, Chief Digital Officer at COSMO Energy Holdings. “Together with Cognite, we are helping our teams use complex data to optimize asset performance and streamline operational decisions. Cognite’s $1 billion in realized customer value is proof that an outcome-first approach works at scale, and we are proud to partner in shaping this new standard for industry.”
Similarly, customer teams built over 1,200 custom production applications using Industrial AI workflows.
“Crossing $1 billion isn’t just a victory for Cognite, it’s a testament to the vision, discipline, and industrial industry leadership of our customers,” said Justin Hester, Vice President of Customer Value at Cognite. “This milestone belongs to the plant managers, engineers, operational teams, and industrial leaders who use Cognite every day to prevent downtime, reduce energy usage, and run safer operations. We are incredibly grateful for their partnership in validating the impact AI is having on their businesses, and we remain committed to expanding our impact as we look forward to 2027 and beyond.”
By scaling Industrial AI tools globally, Cognite sets a new standard for software vendor accountability. Finally, this outcome-driven model ensures global manufacturers convert complex operational data into measurable growth.
