Cerebre

What Cerebre does

Cerebre is a privately held, Boston-based industrial intelligence software company founded in 2018. It targets enterprise operators in energy, chemicals, refining, and nuclear sectors with a platform that converts static engineering artifacts (P&IDs, CAD schematics, isometrics, single-line diagrams) into a connected, navigable digital model of the plant. The platform is built around two patented-pending products: StudioPro, which uses an algorithmic drawing-to-data conversion library with AI detection models and human-in-the-loop validation to digitize facilities within a week at 99%+ accuracy, and PlantGraph, a graph-based live intelligence map that supports 150+-layer-deep search, upstream and downstream path analysis, and graph queries billed as 10,000x faster than competing graph products at billions of data nodes.

The company reports 1+ billion nodes of data processed, 125,000+ schematics digitized, and 250+ industrial facilities deployed across 61 countries and five continents. Its go-to-market is a direct enterprise field sales motion, demo-driven with quote-based, multi-year SaaS contracts (no public pricing tiers). Customer segments span Digital Transformation, IT and Data, Process and Operations, and Reliability and Maintenance teams within large industrial operators. Strategic anchors include a long-term agreement with ExxonMobil for its Foundational Digital Backbone and selection for Chevron Technology Ventures' Catalyst Program; the company also maintains offices in Houston and Poznań, Poland to support field operations and engineering capacity.

Revenue mechanics are subscription-based recurring SaaS, with ancillary value delivered through ecosystem integration into ERP, CMMS, AI/ML, and planning tools via federated graph queries. The company lists 51-100 employees, no public financials or ARR disclosure, corporate backing from the Chevron Catalyst Fund (since 2018), and a recent acceleration of named-logo enterprise partnerships through 2024-2025. The operating status is active, the legal entity is Cerebre, Inc. (Delaware, USA), and ownership remains private with no disclosed institutional venture rounds.

Core offering

Cerebre provides an industrial intelligence platform consisting of two core products — StudioPro and PlantGraph. StudioPro converts engineering drawings (P&IDs, CAD schematics) into structured, high-fidelity facility data models using AI detection models combined with human-in-the-loop validation, achieving 99%+ accuracy. PlantGraph then serves as a live, navigable intelligence map of the facility, enabling Google Maps-like search of assets, upstream/downstream equipment analysis, and graph queries 150+ layers deep across billions of data nodes.

Product overview

Cerebre offers a unified industrial intelligence platform consisting of two core patented products — StudioPro and PlantGraph — supported by four integrated capabilities. StudioPro digitizes engineering drawings into structured facility data using AI detection models with human-in-the-loop validation. PlantGraph serves as the live intelligence map enabling search, navigation, and graph queries across facility assets. These products are complemented by Map+Organize (drawing-to-map conversion), Search+Navigate (asset discovery), Enrich+Analyze (data annotation and workflow automation), and Consume+Scale (data distribution to third-party systems). The platform targets industrial process manufacturing companies in digital transformation, IT/data management, process/operations, and reliability/maintenance use cases.
