Octave Announces Acquisition of Cerebre: Plant Model Deployed at More Than 200 Plants, Expected 2026 Revenue of 8 Million Dollars, Deal Terms Not Disclosed
Huntsville, Alabama — Octave Intelligence plc announced on November 11, 2026, via GlobeNewswire, the acquisition of Cerebre, a United States-based software company that transforms fragmented engineering schematics, plant data and engineering knowledge into a connected plant model.
Octave said it carries the engineering system of record for what its customers design and build across large-scale projects, while major global oil and gas companies use Cerebre models to combine plant configuration, conditions and knowledge and represent how a facility is configured and operates as the plant dynamically changes. Combining the plant model and the engineering record will strengthen industrial AI use cases, with high-growth potential in brownfield facilities where plant data remains largely disconnected.
Mattias Stenberg, Chief Executive Officer of Octave, said its customers run facilities where being wrong is not an option, and that introducing Cerebre to Octave installed base, which covers 60 percent of Fortune 500 companies, supports the strategy of accelerated annual recurring revenue growth and new licensing models. Jeff Robbins, Chief Executive Officer of Cerebre, said Cerebre was built so engineers and AI can reason over the same trusted, real-time model of the plant.
Founded in 2019, Cerebre is deployed at leading energy companies across more than 200 plants and billions of usable data points, and is expected to generate 8 million dollars in revenue in 2026, the majority of which is annual recurring revenue. Its capabilities will be delivered through the Octave platform to customers of Octave engineering and operations solutions, with further detail to follow in coming months. Octave has approximately 7,200 employees in 45 countries. The release disclosed no purchase price or deal terms. All figures in this report follow the text of the Octave release dated November 11, 2026.
