Shadow mode first
Connectors and telemetry go in, models run against live production, and predictions are scored against what the mill actually made. Nothing is controlled.

What happens next
The assessment, step by step
-
Phase 1
Call
45 minutes. Your stages, machines, volumes and the metric you are judged on. We tell you if we are not a fit.
-
Phase 2
Site day
One day walking the line with your process owners, looking at real defect and shade history.
-
Phase 3
Findings
A written wedge recommendation, an instrumentation gap list and a baseline we both agree on.
-
Phase 4
Decision
A shadow deployment proposal with a fixed scope, or an honest recommendation to wait.

Agent graph
One run, ten steps, one human decision
This is the shape of a dye lot on Yarneon, shown as an illustrative scenario rather than a customer run. Ingest and simulation fan out, converge on a colourist approval gate, then dosing, verification, finishing, inspection and release. The accent traces the active path; every node opens in the inspector.

Run timeline
RUN-4471 · Indigo poplin, 3,180 kg, due Thursday
The same scenario run as an ordered timeline: step, status, duration and the tool result behind it. Inspection failed on one roll, the run recovered, replanned the cut and still held the ship date.

RUN OUTCOME
Lot released first time, on shade, on date.
| Measure | Value | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Final mean ΔE | 0.58 | against a 0.80 tolerance |
| Re-dyes avoided | 1 | the standing card would have missed shade |
| Seconds | 0.22% | versus the scenario mill baseline of 1.9% |
| Water used | 46 L/kg | versus 59 L/kg on the scenario recipe card |
| Human decisions | 1 | the recipe approval gate |
Why this matters
A mill does not fail on the good lots. It fails on the lot where the substrate drifted, the recipe card was wrong, and nobody found out until the buyer opened the carton. Yarneon makes that lot legible while it is still in the machine.
Deployment
From first connector to bounded control, one phase at a time
No mill hands over a jet on day one. The path is deliberately slow at the start and faster once the numbers hold. Durations are quoted after the assessment, because they depend on how instrumented the mill already is.
-
Phase 1
Connect
Mill survey, edge appliance install, connectors to machines, MES and meters. Telemetry starts flowing; nothing is controlled.
-
Phase 2
Observe
Models run in shadow against live production. Predictions are scored against what the mill actually produced, on your data.
-
Phase 3
Assist
The agent proposes; a human commits. Approval gates, setpoint envelopes and revert paths are agreed with the process owners.
-
Phase 4
Control
Bounded auto-control on the setpoints you authorise, one at a time, with autonomy ceilings that you can lower at any moment.
Guardrails
An agent earns the right to touch a machine
Nothing here is a global "AI on" switch. Autonomy is granted per setpoint, bounded by policy, reversible by any operator and logged permanently.
- Graduated autonomy
- Every workflow moves observe → assist → bounded auto-control. Autonomy ceilings are per-setpoint policy, not a global switch.
- Human-in-the-loop gates
- Approval gates fire on deviation thresholds, new substrates, or any action outside the authorised envelope. Approvals are attributed and time-stamped.
- Reversibility
- Every control action ships with a revert path and a last-known-good setpoint. Operators can take manual control at any moment, from the HMI or the panel.
- Immutable audit log
- Assurance-grade, append-only record of every observation, decision, tool call, approval and actuation, exportable for buyer and regulatory audit.
- Tenant isolation
- Recipes, construction libraries and roll data are isolated per tenant. No cross-tenant training. Permission-aware retrieval with enforced citations.
- Sandboxed tools
- Agents call machines through a typed, scoped tool layer with rate and range limits. There is no path from a model output to an unbounded PLC write.
Design-partner programme
What a design partnership involves
Three to five mills, one wedge workflow each, shadow mode first. The sequence comes from our MVP plan and does not change for anyone.
-
Phase 1
Instrument
The wedge workflow is connected in shadow mode and the baseline for seconds, re-dyes and waste is measured from the mill’s own data.
-
Phase 2
Assist
The agent recommends yarn, construction and recipe moves and predicts defects and shade. An engineer approves each one, and accuracy is scored in the open.
-
Phase 3
Graduate
Low-risk inspection, dye and finishing loops move to bounded auto-control one setpoint at a time. Exceptions escalate to a named person.
-
Phase 4
Expand
Adjacent modules are added within the same mill once the wedge holds its numbers. Publication of results is the mill’s decision.
Design partners
Design partners wanted
We are onboarding three to five design partners on one wedge workflow each, in shadow mode first. No mill is named on this site until it has agreed to be.
Your baseline, not ours
Right-first-time, seconds, water and energy are measured against the mill’s own trailing twelve months before any claim is made.
A say in what gets built
Design partners set the first wedge, approve every autonomy step, and decide if and when their numbers are published.

Questions
What mills ask before they let an agent near a jet
Both, in that order. Every workflow starts in observe mode, graduates to assist (the agent proposes, a human commits), and only then to bounded auto-control on the specific setpoints you authorise. Autonomy ceilings, approval gates and spend limits are policy objects you own, and every action is reversible and logged.
The control loop lives at the mill edge. Inference, guardrails and the audit log run locally on the edge appliance, so a lost uplink degrades reporting and retraining, not machine control. Buffered telemetry syncs when the link returns.
Design partners start with one wedge line in shadow mode: connectors and telemetry first, then models scored against what the mill actually produced, then assist mode where the agent proposes and an engineer approves. Whole-mill rollout follows once the wedge holds its numbers. Durations depend on how instrumented the mill already is, so we quote them after the assessment, not before.
To predict recipes well, yes, and that IP never leaves your tenant. Retrieval is multi-tenant isolated, models fine-tuned on your data are yours, and on-prem deployment is available for groups that will not put recipes in any cloud.
A Jetson-class edge device per inspection or control cell, one GPU server per mill for multi-model serving, line-scan cameras where in-line inspection is in scope, and a spectrophotometer feed for colour work. We survey the existing fleet first, most mills already have more sensing than they use.
Prefer to see it running first?
We can show a live run against the mill simulator before you commit to a site day.
