The first industrial library that recognises equipment, guides the work, and builds new facilities — not a catalog of parts, but a colleague that knows the plant.

Irvine, CA — July 1, 2026 — EON AI Ventures today introduced the Work Intelligence Library, the knowledge core of its EON Universal platform and, the company believes, the first industrial library that does more than hold components — it understands the work each one is part of, recognises it in the real world, and composes new facilities from it. The first edition covers petrochemical and oil & gas operations: 50 equipment classes and 350 subcomponents, mapped to the industry’s own ISO 14224 taxonomy, each rendered as a self-describing object that carries its knowledge and its 3-D twin together. It is the first of a planned family of domain libraries. The architecture, methodology, and vision behind this approach are detailed in the accompanying white paper, “The Living Library.” 

A library, not a catalog

Component libraries are not new. CAD and 3-D asset stores hold geometry; learning-management systems hold courseware; control-room simulators model how a process behaves. None of them hold understanding bound to the component. A CAD model knows a valve’s shape. A course knows a generic theory. A simulator can model its flow. None of them know that a check valve is never a valid isolation point, that a disconnect switch is the primary lockout, or that a pressure gauge is the stored-energy check before a line is opened. Those are facts about the relationships between components and the work — and they are what the Work Intelligence Library encodes.

What makes it living

• Recognise — names every component on sight and links the real skid to its digital twin.
• Guide — composes the correct procedure step by step, with conditional branches and safety gates that stop the line.
• Build — assembles understood parts into unlimited, engineering-valid facilities from one bounded library.
• Compound — every job makes the shared library smarter for the next worker; the knowledge is owned by the enterprise, not rented from a model.

The first of a family

Because the library understands components rather than memorising facilities, the same engine transfers to any industry built from a finite parts vocabulary. Petrochemical and oil & gas is the proven, built edition; mining, aerospace MRO, and healthcare are on the roadmap, each following the same bounded-vocabulary method so every new industry compounds on the last.

“Every plant on earth runs on the same few hundred things, and the real knowledge of how to run them safely has never been written down anywhere a machine can use it,” said Dan Lejerskar, Founder and Chairman of EON AI Ventures. “Genesis shows you the steps. EON Universal understands the work. This is the first library that recognises a pump on sight, tells you how to lock it out, and lets you build a whole new skid from it — and you own it. That’s not a catalog. It’s a living asset.”

“CAD gave us the shape and courseware gave us theory, but the judgment stayed human and the simulator stayed locked to one plant,” said Mats Johansson, President of EON AI Ventures. “What’s new is a library that understands the relationships, recognises the real thing, and compounds. We believe no one has taken that step — not even a simulator.”

The petrochemical and oil & gas edition of the Work Intelligence Library is being deployed with tier-one energy and process operators as part of EON Universal engagements, with its 3D twins generated through the company’s automated EON Ready pipeline. Adjacent industry editions follow the same method.
