Cortex’s IoT Connectivity Layer supports 200+ industrial protocols and provides a drag-and-drop connector configuration tool enabling non-specialists to map PLC tags and historian data to the platform’s data model without writing OPC UA node mappings manually. The Cortex Digital Twin module creates a parametric 3D model of each production asset linked to live sensor data, enabling engineers to visualise and query physical states via a CAD-like browser interface. Cortex AI Insights applies LSTM and Transformer models to machine time series for anomaly detection and remaining useful life estimation, with explainability modules that highlight the specific sensors driving each prediction for operator trust. Infosys’s Living Digital Twin concept extends Cortex beyond machines to model full value streams, correlating upstream supply variability with downstream production constraint impacts. Deployed at Caterpillar, Harley-Davidson, and multiple Tier-1 automotive suppliers.
