DOC 01
ARCHITECTURE
How the edge runtime, model stack, data platform and console fit together, with data-flow diagrams for security review.
DOCUMENTATION
The operating manual for a system that writes setpoints into your plant: architecture, deployment, connectors, envelopes, autonomy, audit, model lifecycle and runbooks. Full documentation is provisioned per deployment; this is the public map.
No rung is skipped. Any rung can be revoked in one action.
GETTING STARTED
DOC 01
How the edge runtime, model stack, data platform and console fit together, with data-flow diagrams for security review.
DOC 02
What we need to see: vessels, homogenisers, spectros, fillers, robots, MES, historian, network segmentation and identity.
DOC 03
Edge node placement, power and network requirements, K3s bootstrap, certificate provisioning and connectivity validation.
DOC 04
Tag discovery, canonical schema mapping, unit declaration, range validation and replay testing before go-live.
ENVELOPES
An envelope defines what an agent is allowed to do to a parameter: minimum, maximum, maximum rate of change and maximum frequency, per formula and per vessel.
It is a controlled document with dual approval and full version history, because in practice it is the contract between your process owners and the autonomy.
formula: SPF50-rev14
vessel: V-07
parameters:
homogeniser_rpm:
min: 2900
max: 3400
max_delta_per_move: 60
min_seconds_between_moves: 45
jacket_setpoint_c:
min: 74.0
max: 80.0
max_delta_per_move: 0.5
approvals:
- process_engineering: a.rossi
- quality: m.chenAUTONOMY
Accumulate shadow and recommend performance for the formula: prediction error, agreement rate with chemists, and near-miss analysis.
Process and quality review the evidence pack and the proposed envelope together, in one meeting, with the model version fixed.
The autonomy rung is raised for that formula and vessel only, with dual approval and an immediate audit entry.
Elevated monitoring for a defined number of batches, with automatic demotion on threshold breach.
MODEL LIFECYCLE
DGX-class training over telemetry, spectra, images and outcomes, evaluated per formula family on held-out batches.
Artefacts are signed and immutable. Unsigned models cannot load on an edge node under any configuration.
Deployed to one vessel or line class, monitored against defined acceptance criteria for a defined period.
Fleet promotion or single-action rollback. Every decision record keeps its model version forever.
RUNBOOKS
Detection, degraded-mode behaviour, which predictions are suppressed, and how control reverts.
Safe-state transition, DCS handback, spare-node procedure and how to resume without replaying stale commands.
Detection thresholds, immediate demotion, rollback procedure and the post-incident report template.
What the runtime does, who is notified, how the attempt is recorded and the investigation checklist.
How to export a full batch replay for an inspector, including model and envelope versions.
Offline behaviour, local buffering limits, reconciliation on reconnect and what is never replayed.
REQUIREMENTS
| REQUIREMENT | MINIMUM | NOTE |
|---|---|---|
| Edge node | Jetson Orin / IGX class per vessel cluster | Sized during survey by sensor and camera load |
| Network | Segmented OT VLAN, outbound egress policy | No inbound internet access required |
| Equipment access | OPC-UA or Modbus with documented tags | Read-only sufficient for shadow mode |
| Historian | Retained process history, 6–12 months | Needed to build a credible baseline |
| Lab data | LIMS export or structured results | Required for Stabion and for validation |
| Identity | SAML or OIDC provider | RBAC roles mapped during onboarding |
AUDIT EXPORT
The audit export is the document your quality team will care about most. It contains every observation, prediction, proposal, confidence, citation, envelope, approver, model version and outcome for a batch.
It exports as JSONL for machines and as a rendered evidence pack for humans, and it is the same data either way.

DOCS FAQ
Deployment documentation contains equipment-specific and security-relevant detail that belongs behind an NDA. The architecture, API and integration material is provided during evaluation to anyone seriously assessing us.
Yes. Documentation is versioned with the product and exportable, so it can be referenced directly in your change control and validation records.
Yes, explicitly, including where models are weak, which formats need longer calibration, and which capabilities are still aspirational. A surprised quality team is a failed deployment.
With every release. Breaking changes are announced ahead of time, and API majors carry a twelve-month overlap window.
