Making instrumented processes intelligent
The optimization layer for the tanks you already run.
Why we exist
The tanks are wired. The data flows. Batches still drift.
Atomic 47 Labs is a British Columbia–based technology company building applied AI for industrial processes that have been instrumented for decades but never made intelligent. FermentDT is our answer to a problem every fermentation operator knows: the tanks are wired, the data is flowing, and yet batches still stick, spoil, and drift — because the control layer holds setpoints but doesn't predict, and nobody can sample every tank every hour. FermentDT closes that gap with a supervisory AI layer that turns existing instrumentation into foresight.
The product is being proven the hard way — on a real production process, not a lab bench. Through Ai26.10, a 12-month R&D consortium backed by Protein Industries Canada, Atomic 47 is partnered with Crush Dynamics Inc in Summerland, BC, to build and validate the FermentDT stack on CDI's industrial fermentation. That pilot is both our proving ground and our lighthouse reference: soft sensors, a hybrid digital twin, predictive control, and anomaly detection, validated on tanks that matter to a paying operation.
Our roots are in the Okanagan — Canada's densest concentration of fermentation expertise, from a $2.8B wine industry to a fast-growing craft beverage scene — and that's where FermentDT goes to market first, before expanding across industrial fermentation more broadly.
How we build
What FermentDT is built on
Proven on real operations
FermentDT is built and validated on a live industrial fermentation, not a lab bench. The failure modes are real, the constraints are real, and “works in the simulator” isn’t the bar.
On top of the stack
An optimization layer over the PLC/SCADA you already run — vendor-neutral, no rip-and-replace. We make existing instrumentation intelligent instead of replacing it.
Operators stay in the loop
FermentDT predicts and recommends; it never moves your plant without confirmation. The operator keeps the controls.
Science in the open
The fermentation science and algorithms behind the soft sensors and the digital twin are documented publicly. Methods, not just marketing.
The collaboration
Built in the open, in the Okanagan
FermentDT is being developed through Ai26.10 — a research consortium with Crush Dynamics in Summerland, BC, backed by Protein Industries Canada — on a real industrial fermentation, in Canada’s densest concentration of fermentation expertise.
