DacTAPE is looking for a small number of early design partners, and we are starting those discussions this month (October 2026).
We want to talk with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), the venture arms that invest on their behalf, and asset owners who run plants, vessels, pipelines, utilities and other facilities. If you have paid for a product that never got fully deployed, or that needed a consultant to keep it working, we especially want to hear from you. Early partners will help decide what we build next and how we support it.
What DacTAPE does
DacTAPE gives organizations an accurate, current record of their assets and networks so they can plan maintenance, security and compliance work, and so that later investments in a Digital Twin or AI start from reliable data. Many organizations do not have this record today, because building it usually takes a large consulting project, disrupts operations or costs more than the budget allows.
Our approach is designed to cost less, cause as little disruption on site as possible and work alongside the equipment and tools you already have, regardless of vendor. It runs on your premises, so your data stays under your control. It covers IT, operational technology (OT) and enterprise environments.
We designed DacTAPE for the people who do the work, such as a head electrician on an offshore platform, an OT engineer, an auditor or a remote security operations centre (SOC) analyst. It uses the terms they already use and keeps a record of their work that they can show their managers. Managers receive reports, compliance evidence and data they can use for planning. Results are not limited to security, and customers also use DacTAPE for diagnostics, compliance work and standard operating procedures (SOPs).
Who we want to work with
We are looking for three types of partner:
- OEMs that sell equipment into industrial, maritime, energy or critical infrastructure sites and want a vendor-neutral way to show customers what is installed, how it is configured and whether it is still supported.
- OEM venture arms that want to invest in technology that supports the parent company's service and aftermarket business.
- Asset owners and operators who need an accurate inventory and baseline before spending money on digitalization, a Digital Twin or AI.
We also want partners who approach their business the way we approach ours:
- You are planning for more connected operations, tackling a Digitalization journey, frontier AI, and want to get the inventory and the basics right first.
- You work within a tight budget and need each purchase to pay for itself in operations. We price DacTAPE for an operating budget rather than a multi-year transformation project.
- You have used other vendors and were not happy with the result. We want to know what went wrong, because that tells us what to fix or avoid.
- You expect a vendor to understand your problem, show up when needed and stay until the problem is fixed. That is how we plan to work, and we will tell you honestly what you need now and what can wait. We believe a company grows by investing in its people, facilities and products and by serving its customers well.
Regions
We are focusing first on Canada (including Quebec), the United States and Europe, especially Scandinavia. French-speaking teams can use the product in French. In Scandinavia, most of our discussions so far have been with maritime, offshore and oil and gas companies, where sites are often remote.
If you are in another region and think DacTAPE fits your needs, please contact us.
How a partnership works
Before installing anything, we agree with you on one specific problem to solve at one site.
As a partner, you get:
- Direct contact with our founder, leadership, team
- A deployment on your own equipment or in your lab, on your schedule and we fly out to make it happen
- Input into the product roadmap, early mock ups, prototypes, and more
- Early partner terms that reflect the time and feedback you give us
- Preferred services rates and expertise
In return, we ask for:
- Access to a representative site, vessel, lab or product line
- A technical contact who knows how your systems work
- Honest feedback, including when something does not work
- For OEMs and venture arms, a discussion about where DacTAPE fits in your products or portfolio
Contact us
We are booking first meetings from October 2026 and will keep the first group small so that each partner gets enough of our time. Use the contact form at dactape.ai or message us on LinkedIn. Tell us about your operation, what you have tried before and the main problem you want solved.
Engineering is cyber, but not all cyber is engineering. We aim to make it safe and functional.
