The Product team is the team responsible for developing Cognite Data Fusion as a robust and scalable platform for solving industrial data problems. The industrial data challenge is at the heart of transforming asset-intensive industries to be safer, more sustainable and more profitable.

Our platform is built on many different technologies, each good at solving various challenges.

To describe complex industrial installations we use knowledge graphs, and are developing the platform and tools that enable our customers to collect and harness all this knowledge to make their work safer, more sustainable and efficient.
