Today marks a big milestone for us. When David Lu and I started H2Ok Innovations, our mission was clear: help manufacturers save water. Today, we're rebranding as Laminar (Formerly H2Ok Innovations), where we’re building science-led AI agents that give factories back water and something even more valuable—time. Since then, we've built and become the top technical solution globally for Clean-in-Place optimization. In this next chapter, we move beyond just CIP, dedicating our focus to building proactive, autonomous factories that run at their best every shift. David Lu and I shared the full story of our journey and why we chose the name Laminar here → https://lnkd.in/eip5F3vZ

Today, H2Ok Innovations becomes Laminar — a name that reflects what we bring to production lines: clarity, precision, and flow. H2Ok Innovations was founded with a focus on optimizing CIP. Today, Laminar is expanding its footprint on the production line with a library of purpose-built AI models to transform an entire factory to run the best version of itself every shift.
