Thermiq
Fire hotter value, burn less carbon.
Kiln and dryer energy optimizer that plans firing schedules to hit spec at the lowest energy and carbon per square meter.
Firing overshoots to be safe
Ceramic firing and drying are among the most energy-intensive processes in all of building materials, so kiln gas and power dominate plant cost and CO₂, right as carbon pricing and decarbonization mandates hit every producer. Kiln and dryer energy is tuned by hand for stability, not efficiency, and no one balances energy against yield, tone, and caliber across the whole schedule. Plants overshoot temperature to be safe, wasting fuel on every burn.
Energy and yield, optimized together
Thermiq learns the plant's thermal behavior and continuously plans firing schedules, dryer curves, and kiln loading to hit spec at the lowest energy and carbon per square meter, trading off energy against yield, tone, caliber, and breakage. It uses Kilnex's twin to test energy-saving curves before the burn and Vitreo's yield data to keep savings from costing quality.

What Thermiq optimizes
cuOpt and RAPIDS optimization on DGX/HGX plus Jetson, twin-validated by Kilnex.
Firing & drying energy
Plans curves and loads that hit spec with the least fuel and power.
Carbon accounting
Reports energy and CO₂ per square meter for ESG and carbon cost.
Energy vs. yield
Balances savings against yield, tone, caliber, and breakage.
Fire hotter value, burn less carbon
How Thermiq connects
Thermiq optimizes the curve Kilnex simulates and uses Vitreo's yield data as a guardrail, so every energy saving is validated in the twin and checked against real fired quality before it ships to the kiln.
Getting Thermiq live
A paid pilot on one line, a hard metric, then expansion.
Thermal learning
Thermiq learns your kiln and dryer's real thermal behavior.
Curve simulation
Energy-saving curves are tested in Kilnex before the burn.
Optimized firing
Schedules and loads hit spec at the lowest energy and carbon.
Report & verify
Energy and CO₂ per m² tracked; Vitreo confirms yield held.
“We were overshooting every burn to feel safe. Thermiq proved the safe curve was also the cheaper one.”
