Founded in 2024, CVector provides what it describes as a “digital nervous system” for industrial facilities. Its AI-driven platform empowers industrial companies with real-time recommendations to optimize margins in the context of dynamic feedstock, energy, and finished product prices. Based on high-resolution control systems and market data, these prioritized recommendations are built on economic models that account for the operating parameters of the facility, and analyze possible courses of action against their impact on profitability.
