NextGen Unicorn · Things Thoth

Industrial intelligence you can prove.

Plants run on telemetry nobody reads and prove their emissions with an annual audit. Things Thoth reads every sensor continuously, puts agents on the stream, and writes the result into a record a registry will accept.

Built on what you already own

No rip-and-replace. We overlay your existing control systems.

Things Thoth integrates directly with your PLC and RTU estate, maps your tags, and leaves your operational technology exactly where it is. Seven layers, one platform, deployable in your cloud or on your own metal.

MQTT · OPC-compatible

Field controllers publish high-frequency telemetry over lightweight, secure transport. Zero-touch provisioning.

ISO 20816 / 10816

Vibration severity reporting follows the standards your reliability engineers already work to.

OIDC · SSO · tenant isolation

Enterprise identity, granular role-based access, OAuth2-scoped endpoints, private networking.

Cloud or on-premise

Containerised microservices with horizontal autoscaling. Vendor-agnostic by design.

Edge & ingestion

Field controllers publish high-frequency telemetry over secure MQTT, with heartbeat health tracking on every device.

RTU / PLC tag mapping

Time-series core

Purpose-built ingestion separating metric points into optimised time-series layers, with low-latency stream processing.

High-volume telemetry

Intelligence

Anomaly detection, forecasting and conversational agents running natively against the store — not through an external integration.

Native agents

Verification

Digital MRV pipeline producing tamper-evident, registry-mappable records and traceable batch certification.

Ledger-backed

Presentation & API

Operator dashboards, configurable workspaces and executive views over secure REST interfaces.

API-first

Security & tenancy

Enterprise SSO and OIDC, complete tenant isolation, granular role-based access and private networking.

What we deliver

Four practices. One telemetry layer underneath all of them.

Energy assets, environmental verification and machine reliability are usually bought from three vendors who never share a database. Run them on one stream and each makes the others cheaper to prove.

01 — Digital MRV

Continuous proof, not an annual audit.

Emissions and removals measured straight off the instrument, compiled into tamper-evident records and mapped into registry workflows — verification at the speed of the data, not the audit cycle.

  • Automated measurement at the emission point
  • Tamper-resistant standardised reporting
  • Immutable ledger & audit trail
  • Biochar & biogas batch verification
  • Carbon credit issuance workflows
  • ESG & regulatory disclosure exports

Every issued figure walks back to the instrument that produced it — no manual re-keying, no reconstructed logs.

02 — Renewable energy

Generation you settle on, not estimate.

Solar, wind and thermal storage delivered by a team whose instinct is instrumentation — yield metered at source.

  • Solar EPC — rooftop & ground mount
  • Wind turbine installation & service
  • Thermal storage cycle optimisation
  • Grid integration & DER coordination
  • Live generation telemetry

03 — Condition monitoring

Find the fault at week one, not month six.

Two decades of reliability engineering feeding the same platform — machine health and carbon performance in one record.

  • Vibration analysis & spectrum diagnosis
  • Motor current signature analysis
  • In-situ dynamic balancing of rotors
  • Laser alignment of shafts & belts
  • Thermal, ultrasound & oil analysis

04 — Infrastructure

The build capability the platform stands on.

The company was built in the field — over a thousand microwave sites commissioned, hundreds of kilometres of fibre laid. That delivery muscle now serves one purpose: putting assets on the network we monitor and verify. Taken on selectively.

Selective engagements

Telecom & fibre

Optical fibre laying — aerial and underground — microwave installation & commissioning, BTS and site works, network audit.

Oil & gas

Pipeline works and directional drilling for underground utilities, with field instrumentation on the completed asset.

Biochar plants

Pyrolysis unit instrumentation and commissioning — temperature, residence time and yield sensors wired for batch verification from day one.

Biogas facilities

Digester monitoring, gas flow and composition instrumentation, and the telemetry backbone for methane-capture crediting.

Carbon projects

Site instrumentation for removal and reduction programmes, built registry-ready — measurement designed in, not retrofitted.

Renewable sites

Solar and wind civil, electrical and grid-tie works, delivered with generation telemetry as standard.

Agent orchestration

Agents that reach your tags, not a chatbot bolted on the side.

Five roles run against the same time-series core the dashboards read. A reading becomes a diagnosis, a diagnosis becomes a signed record, and the record becomes something a verifier will accept — without a human retyping anything in between.

Observe

Continuous capture from every connected sensor, RTU and PLC.

signed telemetry

Detect

Anomalies surfaced before threshold breach, with lead time attached.

deviation flagged

Diagnose

Correlation against history returns a cause, not a chart to interpret.

root cause

Record

Findings written into tamper-evident, registry-shaped records.

immutable entry

Verify

Evidence an auditor can inspect without a site visit.

issuable

Ask in plain language across sites, assets and history — no query language, no report queue. Every answer shows the tags it used.

Why now

2026 is the year verification stopped being a paperwork exercise.

Carbon markets spent two years being told half their credits didn't represent real reductions. The response was to stop trusting estimates and start demanding data — a measurement problem, an instrumentation problem and an audit-trail problem at once. Which is precisely the intersection this company already occupied.

2026

Gold Standard issued its first fully digitised credits using dMRV alone in March. Verra approved credits under a dMRV pilot in February. The Global Carbon Council launched its first approved dMRV platform in May.

Start here

Connect one asset and see what it's been hiding.

The fastest way to evaluate this isn't a proposal. Point us at a single site — a plant, a reactor, a solar array, one problem machine — and we'll stand up a tenant, connect it, and show you the telemetry.
