About Neuron Industries
Summary
Neuron Industries builds the Cortex AIC, a purpose-built industrial controller that replaces the PLC, HMI, historian, and vendor IDE with a single device. Controls engineers program machine behavior in plain English through Synapse, Neuron's on-device IDE, instead of writing ladder logic across multiple legacy tools. The hardware targets any machine-level controls project, from engineered wood lines to chemical processing, and compresses commissioning from weeks to hours.
Business model
$0 software and runtime licenses; revenue model on hardware sales.
Go-to-market
Customers in industrial manufacturing engage through a scheduled call and direct hardware procurement; Neuron uses documented production case studies to demonstrate real-machine commissioning results to prospective buyers.
