Porcelio
Book a pilot
Deployment

From one paid pilot to full plant autonomy

Porcelio lands on a single high-ROI workflow with a hard metric, proves it, then expands kiln by kiln and plant by plant, running on plant-edge hardware next to your line.

Perceive · Decide · Act

A closed loop across the whole plant

Porcelio doesn't advise from the sidelines. It senses the line, decides the setpoints, and drives the presses, glaze lines, robots, and kilns, then learns from every fired outcome.

Perceive

Sense every piece

Multi-camera and profile vision grades green and fired defects, tone, caliber, and planarity at line speed, and reads kiln, dryer, and press telemetry.

Decide

Simulate, then set

The kiln-and-body twin tests firing curves, shrinkage, and glaze behavior, returning the setpoints that hit spec at the lowest energy and defect risk.

Act

Drive the plant

Bounded agents control body prep, pressing, drying, glazing, firing, and robotic sorting, closing the loop from perception to press-and-kiln control.

The path

Land, prove, expand

A deliberate rollout that de-risks autonomy for the plant.

Scope the workflow

Pick the single workflow with the clearest ROI, defect and tone vision, firing-curve control, glazing, energy, or sorting.

Agree the metric

Set a hard downgrade, energy, or yield metric up front, so success is measurable, not anecdotal.

Run the pilot

Deploy plant-edge and run the closed loop on one kiln or line under real production conditions.

Expand the platform

Prove the metric, then add products and expand kiln by kiln into the full system of action.

Runs where the clay is

Plant-edge, not a dashboard bolted on top

Porcelio runs on plant-edge hardware alongside your presses, dryers, glaze lines, and kilns, Jetson edge nodes for inspection and robot inference, DGX/HGX for simulation and optimization. It reads telemetry, issues bounded setpoints, and keeps working when the network doesn't.

  • Edge inferenceJetson runs DeepStream and TensorRT inspection and robot-cell inference at line speed.
  • Bounded controlAgents issue setpoints within limits your engineers define and can audit.
  • Integrates with PLCsWorks alongside existing SCADA and control, not instead of it.

Trust by design

Grounded, bounded, auditable

Autonomy in a plant only works if engineers can trust and trace it. Every layer is built to be inspected.

Cited decisions

Every setpoint cites the telemetry, simulation, and prior outcomes behind it.

Bounded agents

Agents act within limits your team defines, no unbounded control.

Full traceability

Every fired outcome links back to the piece, the body, and the cause.

The rollout
1 kiln

is all it takes to start

One workflow, one hard metric, one line, proven under real production before you expand.

“They didn't ask us to trust a black box. They put one metric on the table and hit it, then we opened the next kiln.”

Questions

Answers for plant leaders

Do we need to replace our controls?
No. Porcelio augments your existing PLCs and SCADA, reading telemetry and issuing bounded setpoints alongside them.
What if the network goes down?
Inspection and robot inference run on plant-edge hardware, so the loop keeps working locally even when connectivity doesn't.
Who owns the setpoint limits?
Your engineers define the bounds. Agents act within them, and every action is auditable.

Scope your pilot

We'll map the loop to your line, agree the metric, and get a plant-edge pilot running on your highest-ROI workflow.
