What the platform does
The flagship product, Cognite Data Fusion, is an industrial DataOps platform that ingests and contextualises operational and engineering data through a unified industrial data model and knowledge graph. Cognite Atlas AI adds a low-code builder for industrial agents, and Cognite Flows packages the data layer into workflow applications. Product material on the site describes use cases in plant operations, maintenance and field work, along with an industrial canvas, integrated supply chain, advanced troubleshooting and data-driven turnaround planning. The company also runs partner and embedded programmes for other software vendors and an academy and user community for customers.
Scale and products
Cognite employs more than 800 people, and its 2025 annual revenue exceeded USD 170 million, with 36 per cent growth in annual recurring revenue bookings and rapid adoption of the Atlas AI platform. Its about page notes that staff come from more than 60 countries. Product launches noted on the newsroom include an integrated supply chain offering and Cognite Flows, described as an AI-native industrial experience, alongside a partner programme for software vendors that embed the platform in their own products.
