Autonomous Process Control for Scaling Production Output

Assure operating stability and prevent problems before they stop production

Flexxbotics enables a closed-loop in your factory to detect issues and make controlled updates

Discover How it Works
What Flexxbotics Does

Close the loop before problems impact profits

Our platform enables you to prevent issues by automating the decision and response loop

Autonomous Process Control is the Flexxbotics solution for observing production conditions, detecting process drift or risk, and triggering authorized actions before defects, downtime, or production loss occur.

The Problems Solved

Slow corrections cost production in advanced manufacturing

Delayed detection and resolution cause small process issues to become major failures, scrap, and lost profits.

  • Preventable downtime when fault conditions are discovered too late
  • Shortened tool life or machine failure due to out of spec operation
  • Nonconformance issues from inconsistent process corrections
  • Dependence on a few experienced individuals
  • Slow time to resolve

How It Works

01

Observes Production Conditions

Tracks live factory conditions for variation as production occurs across cells, lines, and plants

02

Detects Drift & Identifies Responses

Identifies operating conditions that precede downtime, quality issues, tool degradation, and others

03

Invokes Authorized Actions

Determines what previously approved action should be taken based on operating rules and thresholds

Achieve Closed-Loop Control

  • Reduces unplanned downtime by detecting deviations before production stops
  • Improves throughput by correcting issues before production slows
  • Prevents defects by keeping processes within specified limits
  • Extends asset and tool life
  • Enables longer unattended production runs

Flexxbotics takes advanced automation to the next level with autonomous process control.

The Difference

Way Beyond SCADA & IIoT Monitoring.

Traditional factory systems tell teams what happened. Flexxbotics determines what is happening, what is likely to happen next, and what should be done about it.

Platform Solution Functionality

Empowers your factory experts for super human results

Functionality in the Autonomous Process Control solution draws on capabilities in the Flexxbotics Platform

Production Definition

Flexxbotics combines product twins, process twins, and asset twins for a complete production definition

Operating Rules & Limits

Uses production actuals to define the rules and thresholds that detect and control process outcomes

Detect & Recognize

Identifies deviating conditions across production operations, equipment variables, and quality results

Event-Driven Response

Responds to manufacturing event patterns as they occur using preapproved actions

Proactive Escalations

Isolates issues for review, correction, or automated intervention before production is impacted

Intelligent Recovery

Helps production automation recover from non-safety related work stops for continuous operations

Human-in-the-Loop Oversight

Enables teams to define where automation can act independently and where human intervention is required

Deployment

Works with Your Equipment. Now.

Flexxbotics deploys with all the machines, processes, and systems already running your plants including Beckhoff, Siemens, Allen-Bradley, FANUC, and numerous others.

Autonomous Process Control does not replace PLCs, SCADA, MES, or QMS systems. It adds a secure governing capability that detects production deviations and coordinates adjustments for greater autonomy.
