AI that opens a new revenue line — or takes cost out.
Cortland builds and operates production AI for industrial and energy companies — from Houston.
Enterprise engagements include
Enterprise AI is different in Texas.
Your operations generate massive amounts of data—from CMMS systems, historians, SCADA, ERP platforms, procurement systems, compliance records, and decades of institutional knowledge. The promise of AI is real. But the firms that build AI don’t understand your world, and the consultants who understand your world can’t ship AI in production.
Whether you run the refineries, pipelines, and plants—or you serve the firms that do—you need a partner who does both.
We turn complex problems into production AI.
Your team brings the judgment. Cortland brings the system.
MCP & System Integration
One question, answered across every system at once. Claude connects to your CMMS, historian, SCADA, ERP, procurement, or custom API to read, reason, and act there.
Agentic Workflows
Multi-step work runs start to finish without a handoff queue. Specialist agents handle research, analysis, drafting, and review via the Claude Agent SDK. Not one generalist.
Computer Use
Workflows that once needed a person at the keyboard now run on their own. Claude navigates the browsers and enterprise applications your team already uses.
Skills & Plugins
Institutional knowledge becomes software. Your SOPs are codified as reusable Claude skills, bundled into plugins your team runs on demand.
Claude Code
Your internal teams ship custom tools and integrations faster. Claude Code puts AI-accelerated engineering in the hands of the developers you already have.
Cowork & Desktop AI
A persistent teammate on the desktop, not a chat window. Claude works across your files, calendar, email, and systems.
Delivered through Cadence.
Claude as the UI. Your systems behind it. Managed work between.
Cadence isn’t a SaaS platform or a plug-and-play product. It’s the delivery mechanism that turns a Claude capability release into something your refinery, pipeline, or plant actually uses — tuned, guarded, and reviewed before it touches production.
AI handles the volume. Humans—ours and yours—handle the judgment.
AI Agents Execute
Research, analysis, drafting, development, monitoring.

Production AI · Live case study
Kaysee. Built and operated by Cortland.
Our reliability and maintenance intelligence platform — a System of Intelligence on top of the CMMS, historian, and field data industrial operators already own. Recall what the plant has seen. Reason about what’s happening now. Draft what to do next.
Strategy through implementation.
We assess your operations, identify where AI creates the highest-value impact, build the solution, and keep it running.
Walk
AI Strategy & Roadmap
You leave with a costed roadmap tied to a named revenue or cost target, with the use cases prioritized and sequenced.
4–6 weeks · Scoped roadmap
Run
Custom AI Solutions
A production AI system in operation against that target, integrated with your systems and used by your team every day.
8–16 weeks · Production deployment
Sprint
Managed AI Navigation
The metric keeps moving as we operate your AI, expand it into new work, and fold in new capability as it ships.
12-month engagement · Compounding deployment

What clients are saying.
“We had a hydraulic contamination pattern across 40 excavators that nobody had connected. Kaysee found it in five minutes. The filtration upgrade we ran off the back of that cut repeat failures 62% and saved us roughly $180K annually. The system doesn’t just store maintenance data — it reasons across it.”
— Maintenance Director, heavy-equipment operator
“Root-cause analysis used to take us six weeks per failure. Cortland’s Walk built us a repeatable process that gets us there in two days. The methodology is ours now — we run it on new failure modes without their team in the room.”
— Reliability Engineer, industrial manufacturer
“We had a pilot that was working but couldn’t get it past the first slice of customers. Cortland’s Run scaled it — and tripled the revenue we generate per customer interaction in the process. They build for production, not for the demo.”
— Director of Marketing, downstream oil and gas
