About

Autonomy by design.

We believe the future of heavy industry isn't a dashboard for a human to watch — it's a system that acts. Cloud Rhino is an 11-person team across Perth and Melbourne building exactly that: agentic AI grounded in hyper-realistic digital twins, engineered for the world's least-connected industrial sites.
