Operon is the data intelligence layer for heavy industry. We ingest the messy documents a plant runs on (P&IDs, schematics, datasheets, scans) and turn them into one structured, queryable model of the facility. On top of it, engineers query their plant in natural language and build agentic workflows for safety, compliance, and design.
