Combines Coreflux’s industrial MQTT data pipelines with SORBA.ai’s no-code AI platform to create a streamlined path from machine data to operational action.
JACKSONVILLE, FL, UNITED STATES, September 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — SORBA.ai, a provider of no-code industrial artificial intelligence and machine learning technology, today announced a technical strategic partnership with Coreflux, an Industrial IoT technology company focused on MQTT-based data infrastructure, industrial connectivity, and edge computing.
The partnership will bring together complementary technologies designed to simplify one of the most persistent challenges in industrial digital transformation: efficiently moving operational data from machines, PLCs, sensors, databases, and control systems into advanced AI and machine learning applications.
Coreflux provides an industrial IoT platform built around MQTT, edge computing, and multi-protocol connectivity. Its technology supports industrial protocols including MQTT, Modbus, OPC UA, Siemens S7, and Allen-Bradley, while providing Connectors for moving data between industrial equipment, databases, APIs, cloud platforms, and other MQTT environments. Coreflux can be deployed across edge, on-premise, containerized, and cloud architectures.
SORBA.ai provides a no-code industrial AI platform designed to enable engineers, operators, systems integrators, and subject-matter experts to build and deploy advanced analytics without requiring dedicated data science teams. SORBA.ai capabilities include anomaly detection, predictive maintenance, regression and virtual sensors, forecasting, digital twins, Remaining Useful Life and Time to Failure models, process optimization, computer vision, and closed-loop control.
From Industrial Data to Industrial Intelligence
Through the technical partnership, the companies intend to create tighter interoperability between Coreflux’s industrial data infrastructure and SORBA.ai’s AI and machine learning capabilities, giving customers a more direct path from OT connectivity to operational intelligence.
Coreflux can provide the underlying data pipeline needed to acquire, contextualize, transform, and distribute industrial information. SORBA.ai can then use that operational data to train, deploy, and continuously execute AI and machine learning models.
Together, the technologies can support an architecture such as:
PLC / Sensor / Machine → Coreflux → MQTT / Unified Data Layer → SORBA.ai → AI/ML Models → Prediction / Optimization / Operational Action
Coreflux’s MQTT-based architecture is particularly well suited to Unified Namespace (UNS) strategies, allowing operational data to be decoupled from individual applications and made available to multiple consumers across the enterprise.
SORBA.ai can consume this contextualized operational data and enable industrial teams to rapidly create models for equipment health, process behavior, quality, energy consumption, production performance, and other operational use cases.
Extending Intelligence to the Industrial Edge
A key focus of the partnership will be supporting edge-first and on-premise industrial architectures.
Coreflux provides self-hosted and managed MQTT capabilities together with edge computing functionality and its human-readable Language of Things (LoT), which enables automation rules, data models, transformations, and routing logic to operate close to the source of industrial data.
SORBA.ai similarly supports on-premise and edge deployment, enabling organizations to deploy industrial AI where operational data resides rather than requiring that sensitive production data be continuously transferred to an external cloud environment.
This complementary architecture can help manufacturers and critical infrastructure operators maintain control of operational data while still deploying advanced AI capabilities across plants, machines, production lines, and geographically distributed assets.
Building an Open Industrial AI Ecosystem
The partnership reflects a shared philosophy that industrial digital transformation should not require manufacturers to replace their existing automation infrastructure.
Instead, Coreflux and SORBA.ai are focused on creating an interoperable architecture that can sit alongside existing PLC, SCADA, DCS, historian, MES, database, and enterprise environments.
Coreflux provides connectivity and data movement across legacy and modern industrial systems, while SORBA.ai provides the intelligence layer that enables organizations to identify patterns, predict future conditions, simulate operating scenarios, and ultimately optimize industrial processes.
The companies expect the partnership to support applications including:
· Predictive maintenance and equipment anomaly detection
· Process and production anomaly detection
· Virtual sensors and soft sensing
· Remaining Useful Life and Time to Failure prediction
· Quality prediction
· Energy and utility optimization
· Production forecasting
· Digital twins
· Process optimization
· Industrial computer vision
· Unified Namespace architectures
· Edge AI and analytics
· Closed-loop optimization and control
Technical Collaboration and Joint Market Development
Beyond product interoperability, SORBA.ai and Coreflux plan to collaborate on technical integrations, reference architectures, joint demonstrations, customer deployments, systems integrator enablement, and industrial AI use cases.
The companies also intend to demonstrate how MQTT and Unified Namespace architectures can provide a scalable foundation for industrial AI by making contextualized operational data available to machine learning applications without creating another isolated data silo.
The result is intended to give industrial organizations a practical progression from connectivity, to contextualization, to intelligence, to action.
“Industrial AI is only as effective as the operational data feeding it,” said Bryan Thyken, Chief Revenue Officer of SORBA.ai. “Coreflux has built an extremely flexible approach to moving and contextualizing industrial data using MQTT and edge technologies. Combining that foundation with SORBA.ai gives customers a much simpler path from PLC and machine data to anomaly detection, prediction, optimization, and ultimately closed-loop operational intelligence.”
Hugo Vaz, CEO and co-founder of Coreflux added, “The combination of Coreflux and SORBA.ai demonstrates what an open industrial architecture should look like. Coreflux makes industrial data accessible and actionable at the edge, while SORBA.ai provides the intelligence required to learn from that data. Together, we can help industrial organizations move from simply connecting their assets to actively predicting and optimizing how those assets perform.”
