Top Industrial Control Startups in 2026

When it comes to securing Industrial Operations environments, we believe humans should always be in the loop as actions in the cyber-physical world have real consequences. Threats are increasing faster than we can hire and train employees. We provide an intelligence augmentation platform that acts as your “cyber-sidekick”. Galvanick helps industrial companies secure their operations by reducing the time to detection of anomalous behavior on their most sensitive assets. The Galvanick cloud-native analysis platform aggregates telemetry from industrial environments and hosts systemic models that enable operators to quickly understand the difference between, and context around, both normal and abnormal behavior.

The Elevat product is two software components – Elevat Edge Gateway and Elevat Core software in the cloud. The Edge Gateway software is an easily installed package on a partner supplied gateway device that can connect into different type of industrial controllers and protocols. Through that connection the Edge software collects, compresses, and sends data to the cloud over a cellular network. To configure the type of data that is needed, customers use the Elevat Core software running in the cloud to manage all of their assets in the organization while visually dashboarding the machine data coming in. Based on those data points, the customers can configure rules through our simple UI to begin taking raw data to meaningful data through configured analytic templates. The customer can manage 1000s of assets from a single location. Elevat has eliminated the need for operators to be onsite with a laptop and machine to configure, monitor, and collect data and can now do it remotely.
