Phoenix–(Business Wire)–Cognite, the global leader in industrial AI, today announced Cognite Flows™, a new standard for industrial experiences that fundamentally redefines how teams approach AI, apps, and data to address business challenges. Cognite Flows is designed to optimize the daily workflow of frontline teams, bringing together everything you need, including AI-driven insights and real-time data from multiple apps in every corner of your company, in a single, easily customizable workspace. For the first time in an industrial environment, the software adapts to the user, rather than the user having to adapt to the software.
Cognite Flows is the action layer of the Cognite platform that enables teams to build, scale, and use production-ready workflows 100x faster through adaptive experiences and industrial applications. Flows is natively integrated with Cognite’s Industrial Knowledge Graph, providing unparalleled accuracy and scalability, ensuring that insights and new applications are always based on real-time operational context. Today, more than 30% of Cognite’s customer base and key partners already have Flows available. This includes Cognite customers B. Braun and Idemitsu Kosan, and launch partners Radix, L&T Technology Services, and RoviSys.
Revolutionizing the frontline user experience
By acting as a unified experience layer, Cognite Flows eliminates toggles that force operators and engineers to interrupt critical tasks and search for data across fragmented systems. Instead, create a seamless, intuitive environment that displays personalized insights and agentic, AI-driven recommendations for each employee exactly when, where, and how they need it. This allows teams to stay “in the flow” and stay focused on solving and executing high-value problems without the friction of manual data retrieval or administrative overhead.
Redefining the developer experience
Cognite Flows also enables a broad ecosystem of developers to use the widely adopted Agentic AI native coding tools and AI native architecture to build and deploy customized applications up to 100x faster than traditional methods. By significantly reducing the complexity of data silos and traditional development overhead, you can bring more production-grade industrial applications to the forefront faster and at lower cost. Now, when frontline employees and subject matter experts surface issues, customized applications can be implemented in days instead of months.
“As the world becomes more data-driven, the success of organizations depends on leveraging AI to optimize and automate business processes. Industries, in particular, have struggled to scale their AI efforts because they require specialized capabilities that cannot be easily supported by horizontal enterprise technologies,” said Jonathan Lang, research director at IDC. “Cognite Flows builds on the company’s core capabilities and has the potential to be a huge leap forward in how industrial AI, built the right way, can improve the industrial experience for both users and developers.”
Field proven
Cognite has worked closely with leading customers and strategic partners to prove the capabilities and business value of Cognite Flows across complex use cases such as root cause analysis and nonconformance reporting. Some more specific examples include:
-
Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd., a Japanese energy company with operations in the chemical and advanced materials sectors, leverages Cognite Flows to systematically capture and digitize valuable knowledge and expertise accumulated using AI to reduce operational risks and improve operational efficiency. Shigeki Akiyama, Advanced Systems Development Group Leader, System Innovation Technology Office, Technology & Engineering Center, Idemitsu Kosan, said, “One of the most urgent challenges at production sites was how to effectively capture the expertise and experience accumulated over many years and transform it into a digital legacy.Cognite Applications built using Flows represent a fundamental transformation that goes far beyond simple visualization tools. By leveraging real-time knowledge graphs, we expect these tools to evolve into proactive AI agents that can manage complex operations.”
-
B. Braun, a global medical technology company headquartered in Germany, uses Cognite Flows to improve visibility and insight into the state of asset health across all sites. “Achieving true operational transparency is a cornerstone of our digital strategy, and Cognite Flows has provided us with a unified, contextual view of our entire data landscape,” said Dr. Michael Kaiser, operational technology leader at B. Braun. “Its flexibility and interoperability enabled rapid UX improvements. Within four weeks, near-instantaneous updates with user feedback improved the way asset data was visualized and used.”
-
Global pharmaceutical leader uses Cognite Flows to accelerate operational use cases and achieve 30x faster time to value on a single initiative. While traditional methods required a team of 20+ people and 3-5 months to build a prototype, Flows enabled automated AI workflows in just 4 days. Additionally, the time to user acceptance testing was reduced from the typical 6-9 month cycle to just 2 months, effectively avoiding the time-consuming “design by committee” bottleneck. This provided immediate operational clarity and put actionable insights directly into the hands of engineers.

Launch partner Radix is already leveraging Cognite Flows in collaboration with Cognite’s joint customers. “The Radix and Cognite partnership has always been about driving digital transformation at scale, and Cognite Flows allows us to do this at an unprecedented pace,” said Natalia Klafke, Executive Vice President of Energy and Sustainability at Radix. “Cognite Flows allows us to focus on what we do best: solving complex industrial challenges while removing the traditional friction of app development. This means we can deliver more value to our customers faster than ever before, transforming the way we build and maintain mission-critical industrial applications.”
“Factory floors from supply chain to fulfillment have long dealt with piecemeal technologies stitched together to enable workflows. Cognite Flows brings accelerated value to manufacturers in new and powerful ways by applying AI to a foundation of contextualized data,” said Girish Rishi, CEO of Cognite. “Modern AI tools offer a new paradigm for rapid use case development in the broader enterprise space, and Cognite Flows brings that experience to the industrial space.”
