Every firing,
perfectly made.
Porcelio is the autonomous operations layer for the ceramics plant. It senses every piece, simulates the burn, and drives the presses, glaze lines, robots, and kilns, so batches come out on-tone, on-caliber, and on-spec, with fewer defects and less energy.
The margin ceramics leaves in the kiln
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.
Firing is a black art run at enormous scale
Turning quarried clay, feldspar, quartz, and kaolin into a tile, a basin, or an insulator is high-temperature materials science disguised as craft. A small drift in body moisture, press force, drying rate, glaze rheology, or the kiln's curve produces warpage, dunting, pinholes, tone shift, or caliber drift, discovered only after the burn, when the batch is already scrap or a downgrade.
- Energy dominates costFiring is among the most energy-intensive processes in all building materials, and carbon pricing keeps rising.
- Craft is scarce and agingThe kiln masters, technologists, and sorters whose eyes govern quality are retiring faster than they're replaced.
- Managers run blindReal-time defect, tone, caliber, kiln stability, and yield data rarely reaches the people making batch decisions.
Five systems. One plant-edge runtime.
Each product is individually purchasable and GPU-essential, adopt one, then expand into the full closed-loop platform. They share one runtime, one firing-and-quality data lake, and one model router.
Kilnex DIGITAL TWIN
A physics-informed twin of the kiln and body that predicts fired caliber, tone, and planarity before a piece enters the kiln.
Vitreo PERCEPTION
Plant-edge vision that grades green and fired defects, tone, caliber, and planarity at line speed, and links them to the cause.
Glazio ROBOTIC GLAZING
Closed-loop control of glaze, engobe, and digital decoration, commissioned in simulation before the robot touches a piece.
Thermiq ENERGY & YIELD
Kiln and dryer energy optimizer that plans firing schedules to hit spec at the lowest energy and carbon per square meter.
Sortiq ROBOTIC SORTING
Robotic sorting, packing, and palletizing that consumes Vitreo grades to build consistent commercial batches every shift.
Run the whole plant on Porcelio
Body prep, pressing, drying, glazing, firing, inspection, robotics, and energy, one closed perceive–decide–act loop.
Point tools measure. Porcelio acts.
Fixed-threshold scanners and offline simulators see fragments. Porcelio closes the loop and accumulates craft memory point tools can't.
“The kiln master's judgment used to leave with the shift. Porcelio keeps it running around the clock, and it explains every setpoint it chooses.”
One platform, every ceramic body
From large-format porcelain slabs to spark-plug insulators, Porcelio adapts to the body, form, and firing profile of each production line.
Floor & wall tile
Warpage, planarity, tone, and caliber control across single-fire and porcelain lines at high line speed.
Large-format slabs
Dimensional stability and shade consistency on 1600×3200 mm and larger slabs where a single defect is expensive.
Sanitaryware
Slip-casting, complex glazing geometry, and dunting control on high-value vitreous china.
Tableware
Shade and shape consistency at volume, with robotic sorting and pack into uniform commercial lots.
Technical ceramics
Tight dimensional and surface specs for insulators, substrates, and advanced-ceramic components.
Multi-site groups
Standardize body, glaze, and firing recipes across plants with one shared craft memory.
Grounded, auditable, and built for ceramics
Not a generic AI wrapper. Porcelio is vertical to the physics of clay and glaze, and every output is traceable back to the piece and the cause.
Grounded & auditable
Every decision cites the telemetry, twin simulation, and prior outcomes behind it. Nothing is a black box.
Deep integration
Runs on plant-edge hardware next to your presses, dryers, glaze lines, and kilns, not just a dashboard bolted on top.
Measurable ROI
Land on one high-ROI workflow with a hard downgrade, energy, or yield metric, prove it, then expand kiln by kiln.
Run the ceramics plant autonomously
Start with one paid pilot on a single kiln or line, tied to a hard downgrade, energy, or yield metric. Prove it, then expand into the full platform.
