Four layers, one closed loop

Perception layer

Multi-camera vision, inline X-ray/CT fusion, coat-weight and thickness gauges, weld monitors, formation curves and MES tags fused at line speed.

Reasoning layer

Fine-tuned defect, contamination, weld and formation models plus a battery-process reasoning agent, served on-site via Triton and NIM.

Control layer

Bounded setpoint write-back into coating, calendering, welding, fill, formation and robot controllers, with fail-safe stop behaviour.

Simulation layer

An Omniverse-based cell-line twin that validates every envelope and predicts as-built yield, quality and takt before the run.

Edge-native by design, because the line cannot wait for the cloud

Inspection-to-decision has to happen in milliseconds on a moving web. Anodela puts inference where the electrode is, and uses the cloud only for training and fleet governance.

Factory edge runtime

A hardened runtime on Jetson and IGX clusters running DeepStream, TensorRT and Holoscan pipelines for 8–24 cameras per line plus X-ray/CT fusion, targeting 50–250 ms inspection-to-decision latency. [ASPIRATIONAL targets.]

  • Versioned OTA updates with instant rollback
  • Runs degraded or fully offline without losing control authority
  • K3s on-site orchestration, no cloud dependency for the control path

Model router and fleet training

High-volume perception steps run on fine-tuned open models to control cost; premium reasoning steps route to frontier models. The router is abstracted so the best and cheapest model serves each step.

  • Fine-tuning from supervised engineer corrections and golden datasets
  • Synthetic rare-defect generation for streaks, pinholes, burrs, weld voids and fill voids
  • Evaluation gates in CI — no model or prompt ships without passing

Multi-tenant isolation and IP protection

Chemistry and recipe IP is the most sensitive asset in a cell plant. Per-tenant data and model scoping is enforced end to end, with an on-prem option for producers who cannot let process data leave the site.

  • Per-tenant vector stores with permission-aware retrieval
  • Encryption in transit and at rest, SSO/SAML, SCIM and RBAC
  • Air-gapped deployment for sovereign and defence-adjacent programs

What happens every second on the line

  1. Perceive

    Vision, inline X-ray/CT, coat-weight gauges, weld monitors, formation curves and MES tags fuse into one live model of the electrode, the jelly roll and the cell.

  2. Plan

    The orchestrator plans the coat, calender, stack/wind, weld, fill, seal and formation moves inside your qualified process window and the twin's validated envelope.

  3. Act

    Bounded setpoints are written back to coating, calendering, welding, fill, formation and robot controllers — or proposed for engineer approval in assist mode.

  4. Verify

    Every action is scored against downstream yield, defect, contamination and grading outcomes, logged immutably, and fed back into training.

What the platform does out of the box

Adaptive coating and calendering control

Continuous coat weight, thickness and porosity estimation across the full web, with closed-loop correction of pump rate, die gap, web tension and drying zones inside the qualified window.

Contamination sensing

Metal-particle, burr and debris signatures fused from vision and CT.

Weld and fill assurance

Nugget depth, spatter, misalignment, seal integrity and fill-void detection.

Formation optimization

Per-cell protocols, channel scheduling and grading accuracy.

Yield, takt and scrap recovery

Line balancing, WIP routing, rework and quarantine sequencing recomputed at minute granularity when a bottleneck or quality risk changes.

Programmable from day one

Every perception event, proposal and executed action is available over the API and streamed to your historian or data platform.

anodela/subscribe_defects.py 
from anodela import Line

line = Line("plant-2/electrode-3", region="eu")

# Stream fused perception events at line speed
for event in line.stream(kinds=["coat_weight", "metal_particle", "weld"]):
    if event.risk > 0.8:
        line.quarantine(event.cell_ids, reason=event.signature)
        line.propose(setpoint="die_gap", delta=event.suggested_delta,
                      envelope="qualified", approver="process_engineer")

Engineers keep the judgement. The platform keeps the vigilance.

“Formation was 24% of our cell cost. Anodela re-sequenced channels and trimmed the protocol per cell, and we took 17% of the formation hours out without touching a single capacity spec.”
Elena RossiVP Manufacturing, Kestrel Energy
“Metal-particle escapes were our nightmare. The contamination model flags a signature our inspection vendor simply does not see, and it quarantines the affected cells automatically.”
James WhitcombeReliability Engineering Lead, Helion Motors
“We commissioned line four with the twin first. It predicted the calendering window that would hold porosity, and the real line matched it within tolerance on week two.”
Aiko TanakaGigafactory Program Director, Aurora

Platform questions

On your factory floor. The control path never depends on an internet connection; cloud is used for training, fleet governance and reporting, and can be removed entirely in on-prem mode.

Every autonomy envelope is defined against your qualified limits, validated in the cell twin, and approved by your quality team before it is armed. Actions outside the envelope are proposals, never executions.

Yes — most sites land on a single wedge workflow, often coating-defect and coat-weight sensing or metal-contamination inspection, then expand to control once accuracy and ROI are proven.

We will scope the wedge workflow, the connectors and the measurable success metric in one call.
