Brazilian engineering that protects the people who keep industry running.
For 10 years, we've been building our own hardware and software in Rio de Janeiro, designed for the realities of Brazil's largest industrial operations.
We don't know the meaning of impossible. We're innovative, tech-driven, and limitless.
Being a startup means having the flexibility to solve complex problems with technology and innovation. Even as the business grows and matures, we will never stop being a startup at heart.
Proprietary technology that makes industry stronger.
We develop our own technologies and products, built on artificial intelligence and IoT, that boost productivity and safety in industrial environments.
Mission
To transform productivity at industrial companies and drive their growth and profitability through artificial intelligence and technologies that optimize, organize, and expand what people can produce.
Vision
To be a global benchmark in using artificial intelligence and IoT to make industrial workers' lives more productive, safer, and better connected.
From 2016 to today, year by year.

Two paths that crossed at Startup Rio.
Gustavo and Lucio met in the Startup Rio program in 2016. One came from engineering, the other from sales, and that combination gave rise to a company that puts advanced technology to work in the real world of industry.
Gustavo Nascimento
CEO
An electrical engineer who worked at engineering firms before starting his own company. He brought the technical rigor behind PHYGITALL's proprietary technology, from hardware to AI.
Lucio Netto
Commercial Director
He holds a degree in marketing and sales management and translates PHYGITALL's technology into the language of industrial decision-makers.
Here, everyone is phygital.
That's what people on our team call themselves. Phygitals are the people who build the hardware, the software, and the network alongside those on the plant floor. The same values have guided them since day one.
Innovative
Our proprietary technology comes from asking what no one has done yet.
Committed
We treat a client's problem as our own.
Trustworthy
What the platform records becomes auditable evidence, and our word holds up just as well.
Precise
Decisions guided by field data.
Bold
Challenges that industry once considered impossible are our starting point.
Limitless
From hardware to artificial intelligence, no technical frontier is off-limits.
Awards from organizations that follow innovation closely.
100 Open Startups
No. 1 startup in the Top 5 IoT ranking.
EDF Pulse Brazil
Winner of the Smart Factory category.
Stellantis Startup Awards
Global prize in the Industry 4.0 category.
Global Smart Summit 5G Tech
Award of distinction for innovation and technology.

Made in Brazil, for the realities of Brazilian industry.
Every device, every line of code, and every gateway from PHYGITALL is created in Brazil, designed for Brazilian plants, and certified for environments where rigor is non-negotiable. That engineering protects workers at the country's largest operations, and those operations tell the story better than anyone.
