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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A rollout measured on value
No rip-and-replace required
Porcelio augments the presses, dryers, glaze lines, kilns, and control systems you already run.

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.”
