TOKYO & PHOENIX – September 9, 2025 — Cognite, a global leader in industrial AI, today announced a major release of its Cognite Atlas AI™ platform. This update positions Atlas AI™ as the sole low-code industrial AI agent workbench capable of powering agents with real-time, AI-ready operational technology (OT), information technology (IT), and engineering data. The company reports rapid momentum, including weekly onboarding of new customers, underscoring the platform’s effectiveness in driving industrial digital transformation and value.
The latest product release was showcased at an oversubscribed Atlas AI Summit in Tokyo, Japan, on September 10th, attracting hundreds of attendees.
Nobuyoshi Hojo, General Manager, Technology & Engineering Center, at Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd., lauded the release, stating, “This latest release of Cognite Atlas AI is a true game-changer. AI agents are amplifying our impact and improving safety, reducing plant downtime, and unlocking new levels of innovation across our refineries. We are not merely automating tasks; we are leveraging reliable AI-driven insights to continuously improve our business processes and generate significant value across the organization. This is a crucial step in our digital transformation journey.”
A recent PwC survey highlights a significant disparity between AI exploration and full-scale adoption, with 79% of businesses experimenting with AI agents but only 19% deploying them at scale. Cognite’s latest milestone release is specifically designed to bridge this gap by accelerating and simplifying the deployment of production-ready AI agents. The new release introduces powerful features to enable organizations to implement AI solutions more rapidly and with greater confidence. Key enhancements include:
Seamless Integration: Agents can now be directly integrated with existing Cognite applications to automate time-consuming tasks such as root cause analysis, process troubleshooting, work package creation, performance analysis, and more.
Streamlined Agent Creation: The platform facilitates building agents up to 10 times faster through preconfigured templates for diverse tasks, including analyzing time series data, generating work packages, gathering cross-data source information, summarizing shift handovers, and classifying work orders.
Purpose-Built Industrial Tools: Users can accelerate scaling by quickly deploying agents to query the industrial knowledge graph and access relevant information.
Secure & Governed Operations: The release ensures reliability and trust through secure and well-governed agent operations, complete with granular user access controls.
Joe Lamming, Senior Analyst, Technical Lead, AI Applied, at Verdantix, commented on the release, saying, “Cognite’s latest release for Cognite Atlas AI is a leap toward narrowing the pilot-to-production gap. Our research shows scalable agents depend on extremely precise context engineering – domain models that faithfully represent what matters, machine-traversable semantic connections, massive concurrency, governed tool access, and drill-down observability – well beyond what a chat interface alone provides. Atlas AI natively extends Cognite’s DataOps platform to automate common operational tasks in a user-configurable, domain-specific low-code workbench. We see such product suites as there to enable scoped, production-grade automations with human oversight – not just early-adopter demos – for more organizations.”
Chirayu Shah, Chief Product Officer at Cognite, added, “The industrial world is at a crucial inflection point where the true value of AI lies not in isolated experiments, but in scalable, production-ready solutions. Our latest release of Cognite Atlas AI is a direct response to this need. We’re empowering our customers to accelerate their digital transformation and unlock significant value by turning AI agents into a foundational part of their operations. We have customers across industry verticals in production with Atlas AI, in the Americas, EMEA, and Japan.”
