Vertex Industries — Annual Report · 2025 08 / 15
Platform & Products
One stack, from drive to decision
Vertex Industries builds industrial automation as a single stack. At the base sit six product lines of control hardware — drives, controllers and safety I/O that run production lines in 38 countries. Above them, the fleet software of the Vertex Cloud orchestrates, monitors and updates that installed base remotely, with a platform uptime of 99.98% in 2025. And at the top, the Neura copilot turns the data both layers produce into decisions an operator can act on.
The model shows in the numbers: Automation contributed 66% of 2025 revenue and Software & Services 34%, with annual recurring revenue of CHF 435 million growing 31% — nearly twice the pace of the group. Every controller shipped seeds a subscription; every subscription deepens the data Neura learns from.
Neura: the copilot on the factory floor
Launched in June 2025, Vertex Neura is an AI copilot that watches the signals of a running line — torque curves, vibration spectra, cycle times — and tells the operator two things: what is drifting, and what to do about it. Anomaly detection catches the bearing that will fail in three weeks; operator guidance turns the finding into a plain-language work instruction.
Eighteen months of restraint went into that simplicity. Neura only ships recommendations it can explain, and it never overrides a human decision. By year end it was live at 1,400 customer sites — the fastest product ramp in the company’s history.

“The hardest part of industrial AI is not the model — it is earning the right to be believed at three in the morning. Neura ships nothing it cannot explain to the person standing at the line.”
