About Us
Applied science, for nearly a decade, on real factory floors.
Our Story
Each milestone marks a decision that could have been easier, and wasn't.
Researchers at UFU identified a gap no one was addressing: the distance between industrial data and operational decision-making. Aimirim was born.
A strategic decision: adopting IEC 61499 as our core architecture, years before it became an industry trend. Today, it remains our strongest competitive advantage.
Raízen, BAT, and ExxonMobil validated the platform in real production environments, not in controlled pilots.
Established presence across 10 countries: Brazil, USA, Germany, Mexico, Poland, Turkey, Nigeria, South Korea, Bangladesh, and Indonesia.
Saripe PIMS, Saripe MES, Kuab, and Arandu: four progressive layers, from the shop floor to business intelligence.
First funding round: R$10 million raised in a round led by Indicator Capital and SP Ventures to accelerate international expansion.
About Us
From university to industry. From science to results.
Aimirim was founded at the Federal University of Uberlândia in 2016 by researchers who rejected a common industry assumption: that cutting-edge science and the factory floor are separate worlds. They are not. Scientific rigor, platform independence, and measurable outcomes coexist every single day at Aimirim.
Our team combines process engineers with M.Sc. and Ph.D. specialists in automation and control. We build proprietary technology and deploy it in real operations — with no reliance on third-party licenses.
A VDI member, part of the Universal Automation community, and embedded in the TECNOUFU innovation ecosystem, Aimirim builds its trajectory at the frontier between academic research and proven industrial delivery.
We embed intelligence into your existing infrastructure — any system, any vendor. That is how science becomes operations. And operations become business results.

The choice of:





MISSION
Transform industrial data into faster, more accurate, more profitable decisions.
VISION
An industry where every machine, sensor, and process is connected, optimized, and measured in real time.
VALUES
Innovation: We constantly pursue the smartest way to create value. Not the easiest to sell.
Excellence: We deliver quality, reliability, and measurable results. Always all three together.
Partnership: We work side by side with the client to understand the real pain before proposing any solution.
Impact: Every project must deliver tangible financial and operational returns. No exceptions.
Our DNA
Four pillars that no off-the-shelf solution on the market can replicate.
IEC 61499
Open, modular architecture. True interoperability with any PLC, SCADA, or ERP; no vendor lock-in, no need to replace what already works.
Academic expertise + industrial practice
M.Sc. and Ph.D. specialists who have also gotten their hands dirty on the shop floor. Cutting-edge theory, validated in real production, not in a controlled lab environment.
Measurable results
Reduced downtime, higher OEE, energy savings, lower scrap rates: every project becomes a metric. We don’t sell promises. We sell numbers.
Vendor independence
Our platform runs on the infrastructure you already have. We connect, integrate, and optimize, without forcing new equipment purchases.
