TOKYO & PHOENIX -- Cognite, the global leader in industrial AI, announced a major release of Cognite Atlas AI™, the only low-code industrial AI agent workbench to power agents with real-time, AI-ready operational technology (OT), information technology (IT), and engineering data. This rapid momentum includes onboarding new customers weekly, a testament to its effectiveness in driving industrial digital transformation and value. The latest product release will be showcased at an oversubscribed Atlas AI Summit with hundreds of attendees in Tokyo, Japan, on September 10th.

“This latest release of Cognite Atlas AI is a true game-changer,” said Nobuyoshi Hojo, General Manager, Technology & Engineering Center, at Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd. “AI agents are amplifying our impact and improving safety, reducing plant downtime, and unlocking new levels of innovation across our refineries. We are not merely automating tasks; we are leveraging reliable AI-driven insights to continuously improve our business processes and generate significant value across the organization. This is a crucial step in our digital transformation journey.”

A recent survey from PwC reveals a significant gap between AI exploration and full-scale adoption, with 79% of businesses experimenting with AI agents, yet only 19% deploying them at scale. To help bridge this divide, this latest milestone release is designed to accelerate and simplify the deployment of production-ready AI agents. This new release includes powerful features that empower organizations to implement AI solutions faster and with greater confidence. Key enhancements include:

· Seamless Integration: Automate time-consuming tasks by integrating agents directly with existing Cognite applications to perform root cause analysis, troubleshoot processes, create work packages, analyze performance, and more.
· Streamlined Agent Creation: Build agents 10x faster with preconfigured templates for analyzing time series data, generating work packages, gathering cross-data source information, summarizing shift handovers, and classifying work orders.
· Purpose-Built Industrial Tools: Accelerate scaling by quickly deploying agents to query the industrial knowledge graph and find relevant information.
· Secure & Governed Operations: Ensure reliability and trust through secure and well-governed agent operations with granular user access controls.

“Cognite’s latest release for Cognite Atlas AI is a leap toward narrowing the pilot‑to‑production gap,” said Joe Lamming, Senior Analyst, Technical Lead, AI Applied, at Verdantix. “Our research shows scalable agents depend on extremely precise context engineering - domain models that faithfully represent what matters, machine‑traversable semantic connections, massive concurrency, governed tool access, and drill‑down observability - well beyond what a chat interface alone provides. Atlas AI natively extends Cognite's DataOps platform to automate common operational tasks in a user-configurable, domain-specific low-code workbench. We see such product suites as there to enable scoped, production‑grade automations with human oversight - not just early-adopter demos - for more organizations.”

“The industrial world is at a crucial inflection point where the true value of AI lies not in isolated experiments, but in scalable, production-ready solutions,” said Chirayu Shah, Chief Product Officer, Cognite. “Our latest release of Cognite Atlas AI is a direct response to this need. We're empowering our customers to accelerate their digital transformation and unlock significant value by turning AI agents into a foundational part of their operations. We have customers across industry verticals in production with Atlas AI, in the Americas, EMEA, and Japan.”
