Let's talk

Industrial AI, built for the field.

We are an industrial innovation consulting studio. We build AI and software products, shaped by real operators and proven on a real site before they scale.

Modern Thinking for Legacy Environments
KB&G, built with heart

We build software around the way your site actually runs.

Asset-heavy industries run on hard-won field knowledge that rarely makes it into the tools they're sold. KB&G Innovation Studio sits between that knowledge and modern AI. We bring industrial logic, data strategy, and real operator feedback into every build, so the result fits how your teams work and earns its place in daily operations.

This is industrial AI adoption without the science project. We frame the right use case, build it, prove the value in a pilot, and leave your team able to run it.

Field credibility

Tested where it matters. Our tools are validated on real sites before anyone is asked to scale them.

Practical AI

We turn real-world challenges into intelligent, scalable systems, not demos that stall after the pitch.

Built around you

Operators shape the product from the first sketch, so it solves the bottleneck you actually have.

Trust & partnership

A reliable partner for industries that don't take risks lightly. Clear scope, honest pilots, no lock-in.

Since 2025Flagship industrial AI

Two platforms in the field right now

Our current flagships solve the two problems heavy industry asks about most: keeping people safe, and getting the high-stakes conversation right.

Canary Waves safety intelligence on a mine site
Flagship · Safety intelligence

Canary Waves

Voice-to-data safety intelligence for mining and quarrying.

Canary Waves turns the two-way radio traffic already running across a site into real-time safety intelligence, surfacing collision risks, flagged hazards, and missed protocols to leadership before they reach the incident report. It runs passively on existing infrastructure, with no change to frontline operations.

Who it's for: safety and operations leaders in mining and quarrying who want insight from the comms they already have.

Georgia AI role-play coaching in the field
Flagship · Human performance

Georgia

Human-performance AI for the conversations that move money.

Georgia is an AI role-play platform that trains teams for high-stakes moments: holding price under pressure, de-escalating an unhappy client before they walk away, and giving feedback before it becomes a crisis. Knowing what to say is not the same as saying it under pressure, so Georgia builds the skill through short, personalized practice.

Who it's for: sales, commercial, and site leaders in construction, mining, and building materials who need skill that holds in the room.

The toolkitAI and SaaS, proven on real sites

Software we have already shipped

Before our current flagships, we built these AI and SaaS products with operators to solve specific bottlenecks, from site safety to market strategy to pricing. They are live, and they show the depth of what the studio can build for you.

Vision AI real-time safety monitoring on a mine site
Computer vision

Vision AI

Computer vision, fine-tuned for your exact environment.

Generic models look fine in a demo, then lose accuracy the moment they meet a real site: sodium-vapor lighting, dust, reflective rock, narrow tunnels. Vision AI is fine-tuned to the place it actually runs, so detection holds where safety and value are on the line. The same engine has gone from gold mines to luxury bags, which is the clearest proof of how far precise tuning can travel.

  • Safety on existing cameras: PPE detection, worker proximity alerts, restricted-zone and conveyor monitoring, ore classification.
  • Generative precision: brand-accurate product previews where stone counts, proportions, materials, and logos have to be exactly right.
  • Beats domain shift: site-specific tuning cuts false positives and stabilizes alerts where off-the-shelf models fail.
  • Staged to your budget: start with an MVP, validate the real problem, scale once the business case is proven.

Market analysis dashboard for aggregates
Market intelligence

Micro-Market Analytics

Market analysis built specifically for aggregates.

Every producer and customer site in a market, mapped, scored, and turned into decisions. It maps quarries, pits, ready-mix and asphalt plants, depots, and resellers, then runs the analyses that tell you where to compete, where to price up, and where to invest. The methodology stays consistent across every region, so comparisons hold.

84%of KB&G market analysis projects have led to a profit increase or a clear action plan to hold position.
  • Strategic decisions: justify investment or divestment in M&A, redesign operational strategy, compare regions on the same basis.
  • Go-to-market clarity: understand competitive context, identify your structural advantages, define the right sales approach.
  • Pricing strategy: increase price with evidence, understand the true value of your products, spot material shortages before they move the market.
  • Depth: a live map, 50 standard analyses, plus any custom analysis your team needs. Used across markets in North America, Europe, Africa, and Oceania.

Configure Price Quote engine for building materials
Quoting & pricing engine

CPQ

Configure, price, and quote, engineered for building materials.

A hybrid pricing and quoting engine that runs the full commercial loop: collect competitor intelligence, manage master data, configure plants and products, price, quote, and analyze. It establishes the pricing discipline that protects margin, gives sales accurate analytics, and closes deals faster.

  • 80+ industry features, including a multi-bidder project quote flow with one-click closing and partial wins.
  • Margin control: approval management and email validation, strategy and price-range governance, leakage prevention.
  • Built-in intelligence: won and lost analysis by area with a heat map, competitor intel, and proximity advantage on every quote.
  • Operational fit: transport and freight calculation, customer and product tiers, automated tax via Avalara, template-specific terms.
