Built for load shedding
Every design decision assumes outage schedules, diesel backup, and grid instability. Not retrofitted from first-world assumptions.
We don't sell generators or solar panels. We make what you already own work together.
Your factory already runs an accidental microgrid: grid connection, diesel generator, maybe solar panels, maybe batteries. These assets don't coordinate. They react. Your generator runs when it doesn't need to. Your batteries drain too fast. Your solar goes to waste. And you have no visibility into what each load is actually doing.
We add the missing piece: intelligence. Edge controllers deployed across your facility, one per zone, each using machine learning to disaggregate your aggregate signal into solar generation, battery storage, cooling, backup power, and base load. Together, they coordinate your entire energy system: predictive load shedding management, optimised diesel usage, coordinated battery charging. The result: lower diesel costs, seamless power transitions, and production that runs through anything.
Three integrated layers: edge intelligence that monitors your facility, real-time control that coordinates your power sources, and predictive scheduling that acts before load shedding hits.
One device, one meter point. Our edge hardware uses machine learning to disaggregate your aggregate signal into five asset categories: solar generation, battery storage, cooling, backup power, and base load. No sub-metering required. You get full visibility into your energy flows, without wiring sensors to each asset.
The system decides which source to use, when to charge batteries, when to start the generator. Minute-by-minute optimisation. Seamless transitions between grid, diesel, solar, and storage.
We read outage schedules and forecast demand. Load shedding at 16:00? At 14:00 we're pre-cooling, pre-charging, shifting loads. By the time it hits, you're already prepared.

The competitive advantages that make Underscore the operating system for industrial microgrids.
Every design decision assumes outage schedules, diesel backup, and grid instability. Not retrofitted from first-world assumptions.
Edge computing that survives grid failures: local systems continue optimising when connectivity drops, then sync and learn when power returns. Load shedding doesn't stop coordination.
Each deployment improves the optimisation engine for everyone. Patterns from one site sharpen forecasting at another, and one region's learning accelerates performance across the network.
Real-time hybrid generation orchestration is viciously hard: graph-based coordination across multiple sources, predictive models trained on local patterns, edge systems that work offline. That complexity is the barrier to replication.
When you work with us, you get:
Your reward: reduced diesel costs, protected margins, reliable operations through load shedding, and competitive advantage from intelligent energy coordination.
Cortex units deploy across your facility, wherever you need visibility and control. Each one runs inference locally, makes autonomous decisions, and coordinates with the others. One Cortex per zone. Every asset orchestrated.
