## About

Founded in 2017 and based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Crux Operations Control Management Ltd., trading under the name CruxOCM operates as robotic industrial process automation (RIPA™) for control room operations. The company was co-founded by CEO Vicki Knott and CTO Roger Shirt. In September 2021, CruxOCM raised approximately USD 6.4 million in venture funding led by Bullpen Capital.

CruxOCM provides control room operators with technology tools using machine learning and physics-based methodologies to uncover efficiencies in heavy industrial control rooms such as energy, utilities, renewables, and others. The company's technology distills the thousands of manual commands performed by control room operators. Through algorithms and machine learning, RIPA enables end-to-end automation for control room operators to run multiple independent subsystems.

CruxOCM plans to use its funding from September 2021 to grow its product lines, increase the efficiency of its installation process, and continue expanding its team across North America.
