About Control Seat
Control Seat was born on the factory floor. Our founders built and operated factory software and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems at Tesla and SpaceX, and saw firsthand how fragmented and outdated industrial software really is. The physical world generates more data than ever, but the tools haven't kept up.
Today, we're building an AI-native intelligence layer that sits on top of the SCADA systems plants already run. Connect your live data, surface what matters, and let AI help you analyze it, automate it, and act on it — faster root cause, predictive maintenance, hardware misconfiguration detection, and AI-built dashboards without paying an integrator five figures every time.
This is just the beginning. Our long-term mission is to become the operating system for the physical world. The platform that enables AI to monitor and control the physical systems around us, so people can focus on what makes us human.
