Kav AI Platform · KAP v3.4

Active Physical Intelligence for asset integrity.

The first platform to close the loop between what sensors see, what process data says, and what engineering codes require — delivering risk decisions in hours, not weeks.

Real-Time Integrity Intelligence System
Kav AI Platform
The engineering challenge

Bridging industrial data silos

Three disconnected worlds. One major blind spot.

To analyze asset integrity, we must connect physical reality, process telemetry, and design bounds. Today, these live in completely isolated system and network silos, forcing engineering teams to spend up to 70% of their time manually compiling spreadsheets.

IT

Information Technology

<10%

Visual Data Silo: Less than 10% of captured visual/drone inspection imagery is ever reviewed by a qualified engineer. Lives on corporate networks, completely isolated from active process contexts.

OT

Operational Technology

$2M

Process Data Silo: Telemetry (pressures, temperatures, flow rates) lives behind secure, air-gapped firewalls. Gaps in historians hide progressive degradation, risking unplanned shutdowns costing up to $2M/day.

CAD

Engineering & Design

5–10d

Design Intent Silo: Structural 3D CAD design models and P&IDs live in document repositories. It takes 5 to 10 days of manual data-entry to cross-reference design codes and CMLs against field results.

Kav AI Platform
The platform

What Kav AI is

The integrity intelligence layer above existing systems.

KAP ingests visual inspection data, reads operational data from SCADA and process historians, and reasons across both in a persistent 3D model of the facility — continuously updating risk and recommending action.

What Kav AI is not

Not a hardware manufacturer.
Not a SCADA replacement.
Not a general-purpose industrial AI platform.
Read-only. Never writes to SCADA or control systems.

System context

Purdue model & data flow

L1 System Context

KAP establishes a unidirectional, read-only perimeter. Physical sensor networks, robot fleets, and engineering design databases push up to our secure layer, while recommendations route through strict engineer validation (HITL) before reaching the plant CMMS.

Container & database schemas

L2 Container Model

The internal platform topology isolates the 3D world model, process limits (IOW), and corrosion models (DMR) into decoupled containers. It illustrates how the cross-source correlation engine serves as the unified fan-in pre-stage feeding the consistency checks.

Analytical boundaries

Equipment & mechanism thresholds

Explicit scope boundaries prevent model over-reach.

Equipment Class Automation Capability Rationale & Engineering Posture
Pressure Vessels & Exchangers Full API 581 Automation Primary M0/M1 asset focus. Heaviest source of corrosion-under-insulation (CUI) and standard IOW exceedances.
Piping Circuits Full API 581 Automation Mapped continuously via OPC UA SCADA process historical streams and Corrosion Monitoring Locations (CMLs).
Pressure Relief Devices (PRDs) Flag Only (HITL Required) PRD-specific methodology, requiring distinct consequence logic and specialized verification pathways.
Atmospheric Storage Tanks Flag Only (HITL Required) Tank floor inspection governed by unique mechanical standards (API 653) requiring offline manual entry.
Pipelines & Rotating Equipment Out of Scope (v1) Requires specialized inline inspection (ILI) data and vibration dynamics. Deactivated in standard reasoning modules.
Kav AI Platform
Sensor fusion

The noise filter

True spatial-temporal binning.

Drone, robot, and SCADA data are tagged, matches resolved within a 2-meter spatial radius, and scored across independent channels.

>98%

True Positive Rate (TPR) targets for multi-source confirmed insights.

<2%

False Positive Rate (FPR) targets achieved via cross-source corroboration.

Operational classification schema

Single-Source Detection

Vulnerable to transient environmental noise. Routed to standard severity-based triage.

Corroborated Finding (2 Sources)

Elevated priority with explicit evidence linking. Promoted to top of triage queue.

Multi-Source Confirmed (3+ Sources)

Bypasses manual verification queue for non-Critical severity items. Critical severity and Remaining Life changes always require engineer sign-off (v3.4 Canonical Rule).

Kav AI Platform
Guardrails & safety

Hallucination mitigation

Deterministic filter skills enforce reliability.

Given the high stakes of asset integrity, Kav AI rejects black-box LLM predictions. A strict multi-layered validation logic wraps the reasoning engine.

OOD Detection Cadence: The OOD detector identifies out-of-distribution inputs (sensor noise, physical layouts). Onboarded facilities run baseline campaigns during weeks 1-4 to calibrate the model, before production alerting is activated.

Three lines of defense

01 Susceptibility Filtering: A deterministic "Filter Skill" checks asset material and process fluids against hard-coded API 571 susceptibility matrices.
02 Stage 3.5 Consistency Gate: Reconciles materials, predicted corrosion rates, and visual evidence (e.g., CUI visual patterns must match thermal anomalies).
03 Uncertainty Flags: Outputs failing filters or with consensus scores <0.6 are tagged "UNCERTAIN - REVIEW REQUIRED" and frozen from dashboards.
Kav AI Platform
Persistent sensing

Beyond intermittent campaigns

Fixed infrastructure unlocks continuous coverage.

Rather than relying solely on high-cost per-robot onboard SLAM modules which degrade in repetitive piping systems, Kav AI pivots navigation to a site-amortized sensor mesh.

>= 20 h/day

Continuous, fleet-wide coverage across equipped site zones, delivering persistent physical tracking.

Localisation: SLAM vs. Fixed Mesh

Dimension Onboard SLAM Fixed Infrastructure
Reliability Degrades in piping Absolute (No drift)
~5cm with drift ~2cm anchored
Scaling Cost High (per-robot stack) Low (amortized across site)
Varies by fleet 5–15ms (Private 5G)
Kav AI Platform
Engineering design

Physical meets design intent

Deep CAD integration & change management.

Rather than treating inspection data as isolated pixels, Kav AI overlays the live photorealistic 3D world against engineering design files.

As-Built vs. As-Designed: Digital Twin Sync Service overlays 3DGS-derived as-built geometry against CAD design geometry, raising automatic notifications for pipe sags and structural shifts exceeding millimeter thresholds.

Per-format ingestion pipelines

IFC Open-standard extraction of geometry + engineering metadata mapped directly into KAP schemas (High Priority).
RVT Direct Revit extraction for structural model alignment and material classification (Medium Priority).
DGN Direct MicroStation / Bentley database extraction for piping design context to bypass Navisworks.

Industrial ecosystem

Work processes

Bidirectional flows, not a parallel silo.

Kav AI fits directly into standard maintenance schedules. It pulls RBI baselines, updates operational corrosion rates, and writes rich evidence back to CMMS systems.

orKsoft Coexistence: orKsoft retains ownership of compliance records, CML thickness logs, and the master RBI plans. Kav AI digests those baselines as Stage 5 corrosion rate inputs, returning predictive risk adjustments.

Certified connector roadmap

01 SAP PM (Q4 2026): Highest market share at Tier-1 operators. Delivers direct evidence-packet CMMS work order generation.
02 Meridium APM (H1 2027): Standard integration with GE Vernova APM modules to read/write API 581 structural logs.
03 Hexagon ALI (H1 2027): Provides direct engineering design loop closure from spatial anomaly findings.

Kav AI
20 / M3 · Decision workflow

M3 · PRD-aligned decision impact

M3 focuses on making the right integrity decision — not browsing more data.

The PRD frames Kav AI as decision support, utilizing modular workspaces (Data Explorer and Integrity) to transition smoothly from data browsing to active engineer validation.

PRD workflow path

A

Automated triage: anomaly, severity, confidence, source type, and asset identity.

B

Human validation: engineer selects Confirm, Dismiss, or Reclassify.

C

Escalation & audit: every decision is timestamped in the handover trail.

D

IDMS/CMMS packet: verified insights become work-order-ready data.

Decision rules from PRD

Kav AI supports decisions; it does not autonomously finalize critical integrity calls.

Critical outputs and Remaining Life adjustments require individual engineer sign-off.

Low-confidence alerts move to review; confirmed findings generate actionable-insight records.

Target: compress triage-to-work-order from 5–10 days to less than 4 hours.

Code Execution

Executing Agent-Generated Code

First Principles of Code Execution.

How do we safely and scalably run code written by an AI assistant?

Strict Isolation
Agents cannot share a kernel with host systems. A compromised agent must only compromise itself.
Data Proximity
Analyzing 100,000+ inspection photos requires zero-latency local file access. Downloading over the network is unscalable.
Ephemerality
Environments must boot instantly, run the task, and self-destruct. No lingering state or side effects.
Containment
Strict egress and network controls to prevent unauthorized data exfiltration.
Traceability
The exact script that ran to compute risk must be saved as the immutable artifact of record.
Kav AI Platform
Infrastructure

The Execution Sandbox

GKE Agent Sandboxes (MicroVMs).

Implementing the first principles via hypervisor-level isolation.

Hardware-Level Isolation

Each agent session boots inside a dedicated, lightweight Virtual Machine with its own guest Linux kernel. Host infrastructure remains entirely inaccessible.

Virtual Native Mounts

Petabyte-scale Azure Blob and Google Cloud Storage datasets are virtualized into the MicroVM using FUSE, streaming directly to the agent instantly.

Rapid Lifecycle

Boots a complete Ubuntu environment with auto-injected Supabase and API credentials in under 15 seconds.

Safe by Default

Agents have root access to their MicroVM, allowing them to install required dependencies without risking host nodes or neighboring tenants.

Kav AI Platform
Architecture Evolution

Execution Environments

Cloud Run vs. Agent MicroVMs.

Separating the orchestrator from the execution sandbox.

Current: Google Cloud Run

The Orchestrator

  • Paradigm: Serverless HTTP API endpoints (FastAPI).
  • Execution: Runs the trusted MAS orchestrators (CrewAI, LangGraph).
  • Limitation: Executing untrusted generated code within the API container risks memory leaks, process crashes, and credential exposure.
  • Storage: Difficult to dynamically mount multi-cloud FUSE filesystems (like Azure Blob) per request.

New: GKE Agent Sandboxes

The Execution Engine

  • Paradigm: Ephemeral, task-isolated Kubernetes Pods/VMs.
  • Execution: Runs the untrusted code and tools requested by the orchestrator.
  • Advantage: Dedicated guest kernel, precise resource limits (CPU/Memory constraints), and fast pause/resume capabilities.
  • Pooling: Support for "Warm Pools" allows pre-booting environments for sub-second agent allocation.
  • Storage: Full root privileges allow FUSE mounts of petabyte-scale datasets. Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs) act as dedicated $HOME folders, allowing agents to save work across multiple runs and sessions.

The Architecture: Cloud Run hosts the brain (API/Orchestrator). GKE MicroVMs provide the hands (Code Execution & Data Processing).

Kav AI
Strategic moat

The data moat

Every deployment makes the next one smarter.

Pillar 1

Mathematical foundation

Twenty years of active-learning science, turned into product. The reasoning core competitors can't shortcut.

Pillar 2

Active sensing

The system decides what to sense, when, and where. Live telemetry points the next inspection — sensing with intent, not passive capture.

Pillar 3

Data flywheel

Files, Code, Skills, Memory + SCADA compound per facility — proprietary, continuous, sticky. Irreplicable without the same integration.

The loop that compounds

Inspect → Find → Correlate with live SCADA → Decide → Capture outcome → Sharper models ↻

IOW/DMR Analytical Pipeline Details

While SCADA connection is planned for later phases (Q4), the 6-stage analytical pipeline is pre-designed to connect raw physical telemetry (OPC UA) to automated risk models (API 581) once the datastream becomes active.

1

Ingestion & QC

Normalizes OPC UA feeds; handles stale tags and gaps inside ±500ms alignment window.

2

IOW Check

Compares SCADA telemetry against API 584 bounds by duration × intensity.

3

DMR Mapping

Maps exceedances to API 571 mechanisms, leveraging CAD metadata.

3.5

Consistency Gate

Three-way validation of material, predicted corrosion rate, and cross-source evidence.

4

Validation

Cross-references damage maps with UT scans, OGI leaks, and robot telemetry.

5-6

Risk & Action

Applies API 581 Damage Factors to score risk → CMMS work orders.

Kav AI Platform
Architectural posture

Backup Slide

Observe, reason, and recommend. Only.

Kav AI maintains a strictly read-only OT posture. It intercepts, ingests, and analyzes physical reality, process telemetry, and design bounds inside a persistent 3D model, but it never commands valves, acts, or writes to control networks.

Technical Boundary: Outbound-only connection initiation supported from OT to satisfy strict "no-inbound" firewall architectures.

Read-only technical enforcement

01 Service Restriction: OPC UA client credentials restricted on servers to 'Read' and 'Subscribe' services only.
02 DMZ Rejection: Secondary DMZ reverse proxy / aggregator technical rules configured to actively reject all Write/Call requests.
03 Port Restriction: Hardened firewalls blocking all traffic outside TCP/IP port 4840 (OPC UA) and 4843 (secured).
Kav AI Platform
Analytical rigor

Corrosion Rate (CR) Provenance

A

Level A (Measured)

Derived from localized ultrasonic testing (UT) trend data at specific Corrosion Monitoring Locations (CMLs).

B

Level B (Modeled)

Derived from process-specific chemical models (pH, CO₂, H₂S, velocity) if UT data is stale (>12 months) or absent.

C

Level C (Generic)

Standard API 571 / API 581 material susceptibility guidelines inside nominal operational boundaries.

Backup Slide

Probabilistic P90 Remaining Life metrics.

Deterministic models fail on safety reviews because they ignore measurement tolerance. Kav AI propagates input variance across the entire analytical loop.

RL = (t_actual - t_min) / CR

Where t_actual carries a ±0.1–0.5mm ultrasonic tolerance, t_min is calculated per ASME B31.3/API 570, and CR uncertainty is scaled by its Level A/B/C provenance.
