Overview

Cortex is the industry's first operational AI designed to deliver complete operational intelligence for laboratory teams. Embedded within the Service Insight platform, Cortex continuously analyzes and synthesizes data across IoT sensors, maintenance records, asset documentation, utilization patterns, and operational history — transforming raw operational data into structured, decision-ready intelligence. It is built for LabOps, Facilities, and EHS teams who need to improve quality, resilience, and performance across their laboratory environments.

Wherever the Cortex logo appears within the platform, it understands the context of what a user is viewing — whether an asset, alarm, ticket, maintenance plan, or health report — and can immediately interpret trends, explain anomalies, and surface risk. Rather than navigating disconnected dashboards and reports, teams can ask questions in natural language and move directly from insight to action.

Complete Operational Context

  • Cortex connects real-time IoT sensor data with maintenance history, SOPs, asset documentation, and historical performance patterns to explain why an event occurred and what action to take next.
  • Prioritized, context-aware alarm triage to reduce alert fatigue by filtering signal from noise.
  • Cross-platform data orchestration spanning ELN, LIMS, EAM, CMMS, and CCMS systems.
  • Historical pattern correlation and anomaly detection for deeper root-cause analysis.
  • Natural language investigation and analysis, enabling teams to ask questions directly.
  • Integrated document repositories containing SOPs, manufacturer manuals, and best practices.
  • Outcomes include reduced mean time to repair (MTTR), accelerated root-cause analysis, and strengthened continuous compliance without manual oversight.

Asset Health Scoring and Predictive Maintenance

  • Cortex continuously analyzes asset performance overnight for every monitored and maintained asset to identify emerging risks before they impact laboratory science.
  • A multi-dimensional asset health model incorporates operational stability, alarm patterns, asset demographics, maintenance history, and recent support activity.
  • Produces a dynamic Asset Health Score that helps teams prioritize attention and shift strategy from reactive repair to proactive, risk-based prevention.
  • Continuous trend detection and anomaly analysis running around the clock.
  • Embedded integration with LIMS, ELN, and CMMS workflows.
  • Predictive failure modeling based on multi-factor risk signals.
  • Outcomes include prevention of catastrophic sample loss and unplanned downtime, reallocation of resources from emergency response to strategic optimization, extended lifespan of high-value instrumentation, and reduced total cost of ownership through risk-based intervention.

Asset Utilization and Orchestration

  • Cortex analyzes real-world asset utilization, performance history, and service patterns to guide procurement, contract structuring, and maintenance strategy decisions.
  • Continuous asset utilization tracking to identify over- and under-utilized assets.
  • Contract optimization analytics to right-size service agreements based on actual usage data.
  • Service history and performance synthesis to inform data-driven decision-making.
  • Outcomes include reduced unnecessary capital expenditure, maximized ROI across the operational infrastructure, and lower OpEx through optimized service contracts.

Key Business Outcomes

  • Costs: Reduce downtime and prevent avoidable operational spend.
  • Efficiency: Eliminate time lost searching across disconnected systems.
  • Insight: Transform fragmented operational data into actionable intelligence.
  • Quality: Improve compliance and accuracy through context-aware guidance.

Cortex is delivered as part of the Service Insight platform and supports cross-platform integration with major laboratory and enterprise systems including ELN, LIMS, EAM, CMMS, and CCMS. A product sheet is available for download, and teams can get started via a free account or a guided demo walkthrough.
