Aptabit today announces four launches during Innovation Week 2026, at the Technology Innovation Park of São José dos Campos (PIT SJC). All four share the same principle that has defined the company since its origin: data stays under the control of whoever owns it, and now the right to use the software does as well.
"The obstacle to artificial intelligence projects in companies has not been the absence of models, but the difficulty of deploying them and the uncertainty about where data will be stored and processed," says Lorscheider de Santiago Silva, co-founder and CEO of Aptabit. "Each launch addresses a distinct aspect of that same question: the corporate data the organization owns but cannot query; the workstation already capable of running artificial intelligence and left underused; and the industrial asset that is not even connected. In the public sector, there is an additional barrier of a contractual nature: adopting a system whose continuity depends on the annual renewal of a contract."
1. Aptabit Data Lakehouse: the enterprise data layer of the Aptabit Platform
The Aptabit Data Lakehouse is the new storage and data organization layer of the Aptabit Platform. It consolidates the company's structured and unstructured data (documents, databases, system records and operational content) into a single governed repository, making that body of information queryable by the platform's AI agents.
Every platform control applies to it: each user and each agent sees only what they are entitled to, workspaces are isolated from one another, and every access is logged. The repository remains entirely within the customer's infrastructure; no data is sent to an external service to be indexed or queried.
That characteristic is what defines the category in which Aptabit positions the product: a sovereign lakehouse, the consolidation and governance of corporate data without it having to cross the organization's perimeter to become usable by artificial intelligence.
2. Aptabit Desktop: local AI on corporate workstations
Aptabit Desktop brings the platform to desktops, laptops and workstations, running artificial intelligence on the user's own machine.
The launch follows a concrete shift in the corporate equipment fleet: the current generation of professional desktops and laptops already ships from the factory prepared to run artificial intelligence locally. In practice, that capability sits idle in most companies: the hardware was bought, and the intelligence is still contracted outside.
Aptabit Desktop takes advantage of equipment the company already owns. The intelligence runs on the machine itself, without a dedicated graphics card and without sending anything out, and remains available even with the computer disconnected from the network. It is the answer for situations where centralizing processing is not viable: field work, limited networks, or confidentiality rules that prevent certain content from leaving the machine.
3. Aptabit IoT: the platform on the factory floor
Aptabit IoT is a compact version of the Aptabit Platform, built to run on equipment installed alongside the operation, in industrial and remote environments. It is a product in its own right, not a configuration of the full platform.
The division of roles is deliberate: the field device performs the reflex; the platform performs the reasoning. Next to the asset sit data collection, data organization, temporary storage and the identification of out-of-pattern behavior. Interpreting what happened, comparing it against history and technical documentation, and issuing an assessment in natural language stay on the plant's server. That separation is what keeps the solution lightweight and the cost predictable.
The product speaks the standards the factory floor actually uses, among them MQTT, Modbus and OPC UA, including legacy equipment still in operation, and organizes everything into a single format. Long-range, low-power networks such as LoRaWAN and NB-IoT are integrated through the infrastructure the customer already has in place.
The architecture meets the requirement of anyone running an industrial environment: no connection is opened from outside into the plant network. Communication always originates from inside, encrypted, with a distinct identity for each device, and what reaches the corporate environment is only alerts and consolidated information, never raw sensor readings. In this first version the product only reads: commanding equipment belongs to a later phase, subject to formal approval.
"The most common path in the market is to embed an ever larger model in the field device and present that as intelligence. We chose the opposite direction," says Pedro Baesso, CTO of Aptabit. "Next to the asset we place only what is lightweight and predictable: collect, organize and recognize when something has departed from the pattern. The reasoning stays where there is context to sustain it. That boundary is what allows us to guarantee a lean solution and a cost that does not change when the customer doubles the number of sensors."
With Aptabit IoT in the catalog, the company can now serve projects distributed across many sites (energy, agribusiness, logistics and sanitation), where requiring a full server at every location makes the project unviable before it even starts.
4. Perpetual licensing for the public sector
The fourth announcement is not a product, but the way products are contracted. The entire Aptabit line becomes available to public agencies under perpetual licensing: the agency acquires a definitive right of use, with no dependence on annual renewal to keep operating.
The model responds to a concrete constraint of public administration, where subscription contracting ties the continuity of a production system to the budget availability of the following fiscal year. Combined with installation on the agency's own infrastructure, perpetual licensing eliminates the two most common forms of vendor lock-in: the one that comes from the contract and the one that comes from custody of the data.
Platform pillars
- Data sovereignty: runs on the customer's infrastructure
- Fixed license: no per-user or per-token charges, with a perpetual licensing option for the public sector
- Model freedom: your own cloud keys or local models
- Governance: access control, auditing and isolated workspaces
- Extensibility: open integrations and no-code workflow building
