Hyperion helps industrial, automotive, mobility and energy teams turn promising AI pilots into reliable systems that operate in the real world — across edge architecture, OT/IT integration, production engineering, governance and operational handover.

Former product and engineering leader at Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi, Cisco and ABB · Berkeley SkyDeck advisor.
A proof-of-concept impresses in a controlled room. Then it meets real sensors, data drift, latency and edge hardware — and the distance between “it worked once” and “it works every shift” is where most industrial AI stalls.
Sensing and data quality, edge infrastructure, connectivity and OT/IT ownership decide whether a model survives contact with the plant floor, the vehicle or the grid. The system around the model is the hard part.
Failure modes, human override, cybersecurity coordination, monitoring, incident response and a clean operational handover separate a pilot you babysit from a system your team can actually run.
Without explicit reliability targets, governance and an independent readiness assessment, “go to production” is a hope, not a decision — and a multi-site rollout multiplies every unresolved blocker.
This is the work between a promising pilot and a dependable production system — and it is the work Hyperion does.
