Newton Insights has unveiled its AI-powered Smart OS, a groundbreaking process-control platform designed for the cannabis extraction industry. This innovative system provides inline cannabinoid quantification, intelligent alerts, cost monitoring, and continuous optimization, all without necessitating changes to existing workflows. The platform represents a leap forward from traditional methods reliant on spreadsheets and intuition, offering operators unprecedented visibility into their operations.
The Smart OS is specifically designed for hydrocarbon extraction, with plans to expand to ethanol workflows. It integrates live sensor feeds, inline cannabinoid quantification, and AI-driven alerts, enabling operators to make informed, science-backed adjustments mid-run. This capability eliminates the need for waiting on lab results, streamlining the extraction process significantly.
Early adopters of the platform have reported measurable benefits, including reduced idle time that allowed for an additional extraction run per day, translating to an increase in daily revenue by over $4,000 for one partner. Such improvements underscore the platform's potential to enhance operational efficiency and profitability in the cannabis extraction industry.
At the core of the Smart OS are precision optical sensors and a cannabis-trained LLM, which work together to quantify cannabinoids, track solvent ratios, and benchmark live data in real time. Future updates will extend the platform's capabilities to include visibility into chillers and other IoT devices, further enhancing its utility and efficiency.
For those interested in learning more about how the Smart OS operates, Newton Insights offers a technical whitepaper available for download at https://www.newton-insights.com. This resource provides an in-depth look at the platform's key capabilities, including inline cannabinoid quantification, real-time THC and solvent-ratio alerts, cost-per-gram analytics, and compliance features like time-stamped logs for audits and troubleshooting.
The introduction of Newton Insights' Smart OS is a significant development for the cannabis extraction industry, offering a science-backed solution to optimize operations and improve yields. By leveraging AI and real-time data, the platform enables operators to transition from reactive guesswork to proactive control, setting a new standard for efficiency and precision in cannabis extraction.
