Linque

What Linque does

Linque is an industrial intelligence company that bridges operational technology (OT), information technology (IT), and artificial intelligence for industrial environments. Founded in 2004 and headquartered in Royersford, PA, the company serves mission-critical regulated industries including life sciences (pharmaceutical and biotech), energy, food & beverage, and process manufacturing, with named enterprise customers including BASF, Bayer, Pfizer, Eli Lilly, and Merck.

The product portfolio consists of platform-agnostic, hybrid-deployed AI solutions: VisionAI (computer vision for real-time inspection, defect detection, foam detection, and aseptic monitoring), AI-Enabled Verification (automated validation lifecycle documentation aligned with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and GxP), AI-Ops (predictive analytics and anomaly detection across sensors, MES, DCS, and enterprise systems), and the Mobius Platform / AI-Production suite (ProofCheck, QuickView+, AlertTrack+, and DataJaguar for batch analytics, commissioning reporting, and alert management). Underpinning these is an ontology-driven, graph-based data architecture using GraphRAG (Graph-based Retrieval-Augmented Generation) to enable AI reasoning across operational data from MES, DCS, LIMS, and ERP systems.

Linque operates a direct enterprise field-sales motion through U.S. regional hubs in Philadelphia and Carlsbad, CA, and serves customers globally with quote-based, multi-year contracts. Revenue is generated through subscription software licensing, professional services (strategy & integration, implementation & support, training & enablement), and consulting engagements. The company is privately held as Linque LLC with no disclosed external investment.
