ALGO8 AI SURPASSES C$5 MILLION IN CONTRACTED VALUE WITH C$1.47 MILLION FOLLOW-ON ORDER FROM TOP-25 GLOBAL TIRE MANUFACTURER

Algo8 AI Inc. has received a follow-on purchase order of approximately $1.47-million from one of the world's top 25 tire manufacturers. The customer is a publicly listed company with 12 manufacturing plants, capacity of more than 35 million tires a year and annual revenue of approximately $2.6-billion.

Key highlights:

• Total contracted value: rises to approximately $5.47-million with the customer, up from approximately $4.0-million announced in January, 2026;
• Follow-on order: approximately $1.47-million purchase order extends PlantBrain to an additional production unit across five use cases;
• Approximately $570,000 in maintenance and support fees, payable over the four years after go-live;
• Additional performance-based fees, linked to the measurable value PlantBrain delivers at the facility.

This order continues the multiplant digital transformation program first announced on Jan. 20, 2026, under which Algo8 began phase 1 implementation at one of the customer's manufacturing facilities under an initial contract of approximately $4.0-million, with blueprinting completed at an additional site. The new order brings the total contracted value with the customer to approximately $5.47-million, an increase of approximately 37 per cent. The $1.47-million (Canaddian) is payable in lump sums upon the completion of certain milestones as set out in the purchase order. The engagement is expected to be completed by October, 2027.

The customer manufactures a full range of passenger car, commercial vehicle, two- and three-wheeler, farm, and off-the-road tires, which it supplies to vehicle manufacturers and replacement markets in more than 100 countries, and is adding new radial production lines across its plant network.

The expansion reflects Algo8's land-and-expand model, in which customers progress from diagnostic to production deployment and multiplant rollout within an existing relationship. With a 12-plant network and new capacity being added, the customer offers opportunities for further PlantBrain deployments. The engagement begins with a 45-to-50-day blueprinting phase that reuses templates developed at the customer's other plants, then proceeds directly into implementation, with all use cases scheduled to be live on plant-floor tablets within approximately 270 days of project kickoff with full delivery within one year.

Scope of the engagement

Algo8's industrial AI (artificial intelligence) operating system will connect the systems the customer already runs in the production unit, including Siemens and Rockwell PLCs, SCADA, MES and SAP, across approximately 180 production assets in chemical preparation, mixing, extrusion, stock preparation, building, curing (114 presses) and final finish. The deployment includes:

• An AI-driven production planning and scheduling engine optimizing machine, shift and SKU-level (stock-keeping unit) schedules against demand, capacity, material availability, and work force constraints;
• Digital logbooks replacing paper-based shift, maintenance, wastage and shutdown records for up to 250 users, with off-line capability;
• A centralized data platform integrating plant-floor and business systems, supporting real-time and batch processing;
• Asset, inventory, energy and production dashboards;
• Digital and AI twins of assets, processes, inventory and energy, including generative AI-based failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) and accelerated root cause identification.

The order terms also contemplate maintenance and support fees totalling approximately $570,000 over the four years following go-live, as well as performance-linked fees tied to measured gross value added at the facility, in addition to the potential recurring support fees disclosed in January, 2026.

Management commentary

"A repeat order from one of the world's top 25 tire manufacturers validates our model: prove value at one plant, then expand across the network," said Nandan Mishra, chief executive officer and co-founder of Algo8. "Every use case in this program connects to systems the plant already operates, which is what lets us take a production unit of this scale to live AI-driven scheduling and digital twins inside a year."

"Templates and integrations built at the customer's earlier sites are being reused here, which compresses blueprinting to under two months and lowers delivery cost with every additional plant," said Himanshu Singh, chief technology officer and co-founder of Algo8. "Tire manufacturing is one of the most complex continuous-process environments in heavy industry and multiplant programs across a manufacturing network of this size are where PlantBrain proves its value."
