VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GoGo AI Network Inc. (CSE: GOGO) (OTC: GOGAF) (FSE: 4E9) (“GoGo AI” or the “Company”) today announced that its portfolio company, Algo8 Industrial AI (“Algo8”), has successfully deployed an AI-based decision support system for a major publicly listed Indian steel and infrastructure group (customer name withheld for confidentiality).

Key highlights

• Optimization trials indicated average export power savings of approximately 4.39 megawatts (MW), improved export efficiency, and a significant reduction in infirm/unscheduled power, with no adverse impact on production throughput.
• Digitalized operational logbooks improved workforce productivity by approximately 10.3 labor hours per day (more than 3,700 hours annually).
• The deployment includes a Power Schedule Mode that automates forward-looking power distribution plans to improve coordination across production, load distribution, and power management teams.

Deployment scope: integrated, energy-intensive steel operations

The customer operates complex steelmaking facilities incorporating Electric Arc Furnaces (EAFs), Ladle Refining Furnaces (LRFs), auxiliary steelmaking units, and a dedicated captive power plant. Balancing real-time power demand across these assets is critical under fluctuating load conditions, where inefficient energy allocation can create material operating costs.

Solution overview: Algo8’s PlantBrain platform

Algo8’s PlantBrain platform uses machine-learning models to analyze real-time power consumption and generate actionable recommendations to help operators:

• Optimize power utilization across operational units
• Recommend start/stop strategies for refining furnaces
• Predict optimal ramp-up and ramp-down levels for captive power generation
• Improve utilization of import limits and reduce unnecessary power wastage

Power scheduling and operational resilience

The Power Schedule Mode enables automated generation of forward-looking power distribution plans, improving visibility and cross-functional alignment, particularly during unplanned events or system constraints.

Strategic importance for GoGo AI Network

“This deployment reflects the growing adoption of industrial AI solutions across large-scale manufacturing environments,” said Brandon Kou, President of GoGo AI Network Inc. “Algo8’s ability to deliver measurable efficiency gains for major industrial enterprises underscores the strength of its technology platform and reinforces our investment thesis focused on scalable, revenue-generating AI companies.”
