# Auge Labs

> Local first industrial data. Auge reads a plant's own exports on one PC inside the fence, works out which machine each reading belongs to and what it measures, with the evidence for every reading, and lists what it could not tell instead of guessing. Nothing leaves the plant.

Status: tested on public benchmarks and simulated plants; no customer runs it yet; looking for the first pilot. Auge Labs AS, Oslo, org. 937 600 860, founded 2026-03-26.

## Articles

- [What a plant is](https://augelabs.no/articles/what-is-a-plant.html): A waterworks, a smelter, a substation, a refinery: machines, pipes and thousands of instruments, every reading under a code. What a plant is, and what Auge does with it.
- [How it works](https://augelabs.no/articles/how-it-works.html): A folder of exports, one PC inside the fence, one command and an afternoon with someone who knows the plant. What it reads, what it touches, and what it never does.
- [The problem](https://augelabs.no/articles/the-problem.html): Every reading a plant needs is already being taken. What is missing is the sentence that says what each one is, and it lives in people, binders and old drawings.
- [The mathematics](https://augelabs.no/articles/mathematics.html): Mass balance, the power triangle, conservation with a membership test, normal learned once, and placement by relation: the estimators the compiler runs and what they scored.
- [The market](https://augelabs.no/articles/market.html): The size of industrial AI and DataOps, what unplanned downtime and unused data cost, the money committed to water, the people retiring, and the EU rules that now apply. Every figure linked to its source.
- [Physics does not lie](https://augelabs.no/articles/physics.html): Energy and water cannot appear or vanish, so every reading in a plant must obey the laws a school textbook teaches. Checked on real plants: a heat meter that tells the truth, an air flow nobody ever measured, and electricity that adds up.
- [Wrong twice, then right](https://augelabs.no/articles/control-loops.html): How we test a claim before it goes near a plant: the bar written down first, data nobody has opened, the result published whatever it is. One question, two failures, and the answer.
- [Real plants, real data](https://augelabs.no/articles/real-plants.html): A real Copenhagen wastewater plant and a real office building, marked against their owners' own documentation, the mistakes real files exposed, and why every plant we show is labelled.
- [What we have measured](https://augelabs.no/articles/results.html): Every result against pass marks fixed before the run, on public benchmarks and simulated plants, failures included, and how it weighs against the alternatives.
- [Price, and the work it replaces](https://augelabs.no/articles/price.html): What it costs, what work it replaces, and where to read further.
