Newton Insights Introduces AI-Powered Smart OS for Enhanced Cannabis Extraction

Newton Insights has unveiled its AI-powered Smart OS, a groundbreaking process-control platform designed for cannabis extraction. This innovative system provides inline cannabinoid quantification, intelligent alerts, cost monitoring, and continuous optimization, all without necessitating changes to existing workflows. According to Kellan Finney, Co-Founder, the platform addresses a significant industry challenge by replacing guesswork and spreadsheets with real-time data visibility, enabling operators to make informed decisions on the fly.

The Smart OS is initially tailored for hydrocarbon extraction, with ethanol workflows to follow. It integrates live sensor feeds, inline cannabinoid quantification, and AI-driven alerts, allowing for science-backed adjustments during extraction processes. This capability not only enhances operational efficiency but also significantly impacts the bottom line. A pilot program with industry partners demonstrated the platform's potential, including a reduction in idle time that enabled an additional extraction run per day, translating to over $4,000 in daily revenue increase for one early adopter.

At the core of the Smart OS are precision optical sensors and a cannabis-trained large language model (LLM), which work together to quantify cannabinoids, track solvent ratios, and benchmark live data in real time. The platform's upcoming features include extended visibility to chillers and other IoT devices, further enhancing its utility and efficiency.

For those interested in exploring the platform's capabilities, Newton Insights offers a technical whitepaper and demo requests. The Smart OS represents a significant leap forward for the cannabis industry, promising to shift operations from reactive guesswork to proactive, data-driven control.
