## Octave's Deal for Cerebre

[Octave](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/00q5gqu/octave) provides mission-critical software across the design, build, operate and protect stages of the asset lifecycle, and [Cerebre](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/00066oj/cerebre) transforms fragmented engineering schematics, plant data and engineering knowledge into a connected plant model. Octave said Cerebre's capabilities will be delivered through the Octave platform and made available to customers of its engineering and operations solutions, with further detail to follow in the coming months as part of the platform launch.

Cerebre was founded in 2019 and is deployed at leading energy companies across more than 200 plants and billions of usable data points. Octave said major global oil and gas companies use Cerebre's models to combine plant configuration, conditions and knowledge as a facility changes.

"Cerebre provides insights into existing facilities, serving as a context engine for a unified plant model," said Mattias Stenberg, Chief Executive Officer of Octave.
