Kerning AI—Operational intelligence for Industry 5.0
Industry 5.0,on the floor.
An operational intelligence platform for industries that build with their hands. An ontology-led approach to Industry 5.0, retuned for the floor.

Forecasts, deviations and agent activity, fused on the operational ontology — read the same number the operator does, in the same second they do.
01—Outcomes
Measured against operational metrics, not dashboards.
What it actuallychanges on the floor.
01 — Outcome
12.4%
Reduction in compressor-cluster energy consumption against month-to-date baseline at a 14-property hospitality group.
02 — Outcome
19d
Average lead time on equipment-failure forecasts — pre-empted, parts ordered, downtime measured in hours not days.
03 — Outcome
99%
First-pass FSMS variance reports auto-drafted by agents and approved by the line lead inside their normal shift.
04 — Outcome
3×
Faster time-to-value when a deployment leans on the operator's tacit knowledge — multilingual, on the floor, by default.
02—Thesis
03—Solutions
Six capabilities.One operating system.
Each module runs alone or with the others. Each is measured against operational metrics, never vanity dashboards.
- 01
Operational Ontology
A living object graph fused from sensors, machine telemetry, ERP, BMS, POS, HR and the operator's own voice. Not a dashboard — the model the whole company can reason on.
- 02
Agentic Workflows
Reasoning agents that act on the ontology — flag a failing combi oven before service, re-route a chiller load when grid tariffs spike, draft an FSMS variance back to the QA lead. Humans approve; the agent does the boring work.
- 03
Predictive Maintenance
Industrial-grade telemetry on assets running sixteen-hour shifts — bearings, compressors, hoods, robotic cells. Failure modes called weeks before service stops, not after.
- 04
Energy, Utility & Emissions
Real-time tracking of power, gas, water, refrigerant — with automated tariff optimisation, scope-2 carbon ledgering, and bill-reduction targets the CFO can audit.
- 05
Hygiene, Safety & Compliance
Digital audits, temperature logs, FSMS / ISO / GMP workflows — replacing the clipboard with a tablet that knows what to ask, when to escalate, and how to close the loop.
- 06
Decision Intelligence
Plate-level P&L, line-level efficiency, brigade-level performance — modelled on the ontology, served as decisions rather than reports. The CFO and the line lead read the same number.
04—Industries
Where intelligencemeets industry.
Three deployments. One operating model. The platform retunes to each, the thesis stays.
- 01 — Hospitality
Hotels, restaurants, and venues that run on intelligence.
Operational intelligence in the back-of-house and beyond — kitchens, refrigeration, ventilation, and the brigade that keeps it all moving. Live across hospitality groups and institutional F&B operators.
- 02 — Manufacturing
From sensor to insight, on the factory floor.
Connected operations for plants and production lines — quality vision, throughput modelling, and the energy intelligence that turns the works into a system the manager can run on a tablet.
- 03 — Institutional & F&B
Scale operations, sovereign data.
Multi-site institutional F&B and large-format operators — campus dining, healthcare, defence kitchens. Sovereign-deployable, audit-trailed by default.
05—Voices
Operators who runon Kerning.
01 — Voice Kerning AI completely transformed how we handle content and client workflows. What used to take days now happens in minutes. It feels like we've added a 10× smarter team member without adding headcount.
Payton Hillman
Director of Operations
02 — Voice From automated reservations to guest feedback analysis, Kerning AI helped us reduce human error and boost efficiency. It's like having a silent operations wizard behind the scenes.
Max Johnson
General Manager
03 — Voice We plugged Kerning AI into our daily marketing ops and never looked back. Campaigns run smoother, reporting is instant, and our team finally has time to focus on strategy instead of spreadsheets.
