ncarol.com -- Carbon AMS is building what is likely the world's first fully AI-controlled industrial facility—an intelligent plant engineered from the ground up to operate with edge-native, closed-loop AI optimizations and agentic control. The facility is a biomethane production plant made possible with funding by SDCL to build the project for a leading, global pharmaceutical company under a 15-year energy offtake agreement. The SDCL €650 million Green Energy Transition Fund will deploy up to €100 million for ten such plants planned by Carbon AMS. (Link)

Built-In Intelligence from rhobot.ai:    Most artificial intelligence applications for the physical world are necessarily deployed as add-ons and overlays to preexisting infrastructure. This industrial site is being built on it. Contemplated from day one as an AI nervous system, the architecture includes:

1) A full feedback loop from real-world process data to probabilistic, predictive control for plant-wide performance optimizations, 2) Virtual sensors to extract data at high resolutions and achieve inferences that traditional sensors cannot, and 3) Edge-deployed agents capable of updating control set points while performing constant analysis on equipment for preventative maintenance, uptime maximization, and adjustments for weather.

This technology goes beyond digital twins. It is the basis for a digital organism—alive to data, tuned to biology, thermodynamics, and industrial control—built to continually improve the function of the facility until it reaches theoretical maximum performance and can then inform future designs.

As part of this collaboration, Carbon AMS (Link) will establish an effort to deploy rhobot.ai technology throughout Europe—bringing physical AI to more sectors, more facilities, and more nations. This initiative builds on previous work with Siemens (Link) and rhobot.ai's applications are now available in the Siemens Xcelerator Marketplace.

Patrick Harte, CTO of Carbon AMS, said: "Soon every industrial facility in the world will run on physical AI. We are committed to using responsible AI to build the world's best-performing biomethane production facilities and to help others better automate and control their industrial facilities. Optimal performance and efficiency are sustainability."

John Gaus, Founder of rhobot.ai, commented: "Congratulations to SDCL on their important work and this deal. We will work hard with Carbon AMS to help make their investment a success. When the world runs on physical AI, we want it to be from rhobot.ai. This is the path to better-performing and more competitive manufacturing."

This is industrial AI for manufacturing for a real project, not another AI pilot.
