Built to lift the top line. Energy cost down, throughput up, fewer stops.
Lower energy cost
Retorts, furnaces, cold stores and CIP cycles scheduled against the tariff: hard in cheap hours, staggered so no two share a peak, the fuel split chosen against gas, power and carbon price.
More throughput from the same line
Cycle times, batch sizes and setpoints held at the productive edge of the process window instead of the safe middle, so the same equipment makes more per shift. No new line, no capex.
Predictive, bundled maintenance
Wear and drift read from the data the plant already logs, so a bearing, valve or heat exchanger is flagged before it fails. Maintenance is proposed in bundles across the facility, so the line comes down once, at a planned moment, not at the worst one.
Built on top of the systems you run.
AAXO reads what your systems already report, brings in what they cannot see from inside, and proposes the next adjustment. One loop, end to end, on-prem or in your private cloud.

- PLC
- SCADA
- MES
- Power price
- Weather
Analyses the plant, runs the governed loop, proposes actions.
Within your facility’s policies.
Builds the baseline
Readings arrive at each system’s own pace. AAXO learns from your own history how the plant is actually run, including the workarounds and limits your operators keep.
Reasons across systems
Sees what no single loop sees: production schedule against power price, buffers and thermal mass against the tariff window, utilities against the lines they serve.
Adjusts, then records
Adjustments go to the slow loops around production, as setpoints and schedules, never to machine internals below the control and protection layer. Every proposal, taken or declined, lands in the ledger.
Vendor-neutral by design
The AI is an interchangeable component. You are not tied to one vendor’s model, and no plant data goes to a public API.
Autonomy, hardened by design.
AAXO’s governed loop keeps people in charge of an autonomous system. You set the limits, your operators decide anything risky, and every decision is on record.
You set the limits
Every action AAXO may take is bounded before it runs. Low-risk adjustments run inside the limits you sign off, and some actions are forbidden outright, permanently.
Your operator on anything risky
Anything larger, or near a critical point, waits for your operator’s sign-off. Approvals are given in the operator console, each bound to the exact action.
Full control, anytime
Pause or stop AAXO in full, or on specific actions, machines or lines. The rest of the plant carries on as it did, and you pick up again when you are ready.
Everything on record, always ready for review.
Every observation, proposal and action lands on a tamper-evident record, with the plant state it was taken in. It is what regulators, grid operators and auditors will ask to see: traceability and compliance from the way the system is built, not from a report written afterwards.
Emissions trading
ETS and CBAM make provable energy-decision records a compliance asset rather than paperwork.
Demand response
Curtailment contracts pay against auditable records of what was held, what was released, and when.
Food safety
HACCP regimes require records at critical control points. Any AI touching a temperature near one needs provable bounds and a tamper-evident trail.
Common questions.
Which plants is it built for?
Energy-intensive and high-risk plants: food processing, metal production, pulp and paper, glass, chemicals.
Do I need new sensors or a production stop to install it?
No. AAXO reads what the plant already emits. Modbus is native; other protocols come in through connectors written for the site. Nothing is replaced, and there is no production stop to install.
How does external data like the power price get in?
Through connectors you allow. External data such as power prices and weather comes in that way; process data does not have to leave the site for it to work.
Where does production data go?
It stays on your network. AAXO runs on plant hardware or in your own cloud tenancy, air-gapped if the site requires it, and nothing leaves the perimeter unless you explicitly route it out.
Can it write to a PLC without approval?
Only within the limits you have signed off, and only through the control system, as setpoints. Anything outside those limits waits for your operator’s sign-off, and some actions are forbidden outright.
Does it touch the safety systems?
No. AAXO decides on a ten-seconds-and-slower timescale, above the control loops and never inside them. Safety PLCs, e-stops and envelope protection stay where they are and act without it.
What happens if AAXO goes down?
Nothing, to the plant. The control layer below holds the last setpoint, and production continues as it did before AAXO arrived. Pause and stop are always available from the operator console.
How long before it proposes anything?
The pilot starts with three weeks of simulation, reading live data and reporting what it could improve. The first proposals arrive in advisory mode, before anything is written back.
