RECIPE + DOSING EXECUTION
Order of addition and dosing control per vessel, with tolerance-aware compensation when a raw-material lot behaves differently from the last one.
STAGE 01 // MAKE
The make brain of Serumon. Emulson executes recipe and order of addition, controls raw-material dosing, and actively regulates temperature, shear, vacuum, homogenisation pressure and time to build target viscosity, stability, particle size and feel — using a learned process world model of each formula and vessel.

THE PROBLEM
A cosmetics batch is built in a jacketed vessel by dosing oils, waters, actives, pigments and surfactants in the right order, then emulsifying and homogenising under exact temperature, shear, vacuum and time.
A small drift in any of those breaks the emulsion, shifts viscosity or pH, coarsens particle size or ruins sensory feel. By the time the lab result lands, the batch is already made — so it gets held, re-worked or scrapped.
The compounding chemists whose senses govern this black art are scarce and ageing, and most plants still run manual recipes with reactive lab QC.

CAPABILITIES
Order of addition and dosing control per vessel, with tolerance-aware compensation when a raw-material lot behaves differently from the last one.
Real-time viscosity, particle size, pH proxy and stability-risk estimation from inline sensors — hours before the lab confirms it.
MPC over temperature, shear, vacuum, homogenisation and time that steers the batch to spec instead of holding a fixed recipe.
A per-formula, per-vessel model with plant memory: it knows how this vessel behaves on this product at this fill level.
Every actuatable parameter is clamped by envelopes signed off by process and quality, with human-in-the-loop checkpoints.
Immutable record of every prediction, trim and approval, replayable against the exact model version that ran the batch.
THE LOOP
Recipe, spec envelope and vessel profile are resolved, with the raw-material lots for this batch and their historical behaviour.
Dosing is executed and verified per phase, compensating within tolerance for lot variability and load-cell drift.
Temperature, shear, vacuum and time are actively regulated while the world model predicts where viscosity and D50 will land.
The batch is released to fill only when predicted spec, Shadera shade and Stabion risk all agree. Everything is signed into the audit log.
AI CAPABILITIES
Serumon labels its own maturity. Anything not yet validated in production is marked aspirational, on this site and in the room.
REAL
Multimodal model over inline sensors, formula structure and batch tags. Real for design-partner formulas; fleet-scale generalisation is aspirational.
REAL
Viscosity, particle-size and emulsion-fault prediction validated against lab results on the wedge formula family.
PARTLY ASPIRATIONAL
Shear-time-temperature-vacuum control policy. Runs in recommend mode from day one; write access per site follows validation.
REAL
Frontier-model reasoning over SOPs and batch records with enforced citations for deviation explanation and formulation Q&A.
NVIDIA ALIGNMENT
Train process world models and control policies over spectra, telemetry, formulas and batch records.
Plant-edge inference and the control loop at each compounding vessel, with deterministic latency.
Quantised inline inference to hold p95 50–150 ms control decisions.
Physics-informed emulsification surrogates, plus a fine-tuned cosmetics-formulation reasoning model.
MEASUREMENT
PILOTS ARE CONTRACTED AGAINST A NAMED ROI METRIC AND A BASELINE WE RECORD BEFORE ANYTHING CHANGES.
THE MOAT
MES, DCS and mixer OEMs automate the sequence: hold this temperature, run this rpm for this long. None of them model the physical chemistry the sequence was supposed to produce.
Emulson closes the loop on the actual emulsion with a learned per-formula world model, delivering right-first-time batches no PID recipe can match — and every chemist correction makes it harder to displace.

EMULSON FAQ
One formula family on one vessel. We pick the family with the highest scrap or re-work rate and enough batch frequency to produce a statistically useful baseline inside the pilot window.
Often some. Most vessels already have temperature, pressure, vacuum, load cells and drive telemetry. Inline rheology or particle sizing may need a retrofit; sensor retrofit cost per vessel class is scoped during the site survey.
Emulson writes setpoints, not safety logic. Your DCS and interlocks remain authoritative, and every write lands inside an envelope your process owners approved.
Prediction accuracy versus lab results, right-first-time rate, scrap and re-work volume, and vessel hours recovered — all measured against the pre-pilot baseline we recorded in shadow mode.
WEDGE PILOT
Instrument, baseline, shadow, then assist — against a metric you name before we start. If the numbers do not move, you have lost a quarter of telemetry and gained a very detailed picture of your own process.
