A first hands-on look: trainees can now touch, break and recover a fully simulated industrial plant running on real physics — and see invisible hazards like trapped pressure and heat before they cause harm.
IRVINE, CALIFORNIA — July 20, 2026 — EON AI Ventures today unveiled the first live, interactive demonstration of EON Live, a new kind of industrial safety training in which the plant itself is simulated in real time. Where conventional training relies on slideshows and multiple-choice quizzes, EON Live lets a trainee operate a working plant model — pressure, flow, temperature and electricity all computed as the scene runs — so that the consequences of every action play out live, exactly as they would in the field, but with no one at risk. Read more about it in depth in the “Playable Demo of EON Live” white paper.
The company has previously announced EON Live; today marks the first time the experience has been shown as a working, playable demo rather than a concept.
“Most safety training is something you watch. EON Live is something you do,” said Dan Lejerskar, founder of EON AI Ventures. “The plant is alive, so if you skip a step it doesn’t scold you — it reacts. You make the dangerous mistake safely, and you learn it in your hands.”

Seeing theinvisible
A central idea in EON Live is making unseen energy visible. As the simulation runs, the plant renders its own hazards through a consistent color code — red for trapped pressure, yellow for live electricity, and a temperature reading that climbs on a timer toward a trip point. Hazards that would be invisible on a real plant become obvious on screen, and a calm guiding voice walks the trainee through the correct procedure before grading the run like a real assessor.
Three scenarios, one living plant
The demo showcases three representative scenarios on the same simulated skid:
- Lockout / Tagout: isolate, bleed and verify trapped pressure before opening equipment — miss the bleed and the stored energy remains, shown as a red glow.
- Pump Dead-Head: run a pump into a closed outlet and watch pressure and temperature climb on a timer until the machine trips.
- Pump Dry-Run: run a pump with no liquid and watch the same machine fail a different way as it overheats.
From one accident to a thousand variations
Because the plant is simulated rather than pre-scripted, a single real incident can be expanded into many playable variations — a different valve left open, a different sequence, a different operator decision. EON AI Ventures is packaging these into “Situation Rooms”: curated libraries of real-world incidents that learners can step into and replay across industries including oil & gas, mining, aerospace maintenance and healthcare.
