Summary
Outerport automates feasibility testing for industrial systems like LNG plants, HVAC, and semiconductor processes. Founded by Towaki Takikawa, an ex-NVIDIA Research Scientist with experience in simulation and manufacturing, they solve the problem of parameters being locked in PDFs and simulators lacking accessible APIs. They extract structured data from industrial drawings, build a knowledge graph, and use autonomous AI agents to run simulations and perform design checks, eliminating thousands of manual hours spent converting documents into structured formats.
