From the codebase
to the plant floor.

Zoniax does AI on both sides of the line. In software, we build custom models, data and ML pipelines, and the applications that put them to work. On the plant floor, we deploy vision inspection, predictive maintenance, and soft sensors that run at the edge — on real processing lines. One team, one engineering standard, signal to decision.

01 · Two disciplines

Two disciplines, one stack.

Real AI value sits between two skills that rarely live in one team: the software engineering behind a model, and the field engineering to run it on a live plant. Zoniax does both.

i.

Software AI

Custom models and the systems around them — the data, training, and applications that turn a model into something a user or an operator can actually rely on.

  • Custom models — forecasting, classification, anomaly detection, NLP
  • AI applications & SaaS — model-backed products and internal tools
  • Data & ML engineering — pipelines, feature stores, training infrastructure
  • MLOps — versioning, evaluation, monitoring, and retraining in production
ii.

Industrial AI

Intelligence that runs where the process does. Models trained on a plant's own data, deployed to the edge, and held to the constraints of real operations — not a benchmark.

  • Computer-vision inspection — defect, fill-level, and surface scoring on the line
  • Predictive maintenance — failure forecasting from vibration, thermal, and load
  • Soft sensors — inferring quantities too slow or costly to measure directly
  • Process optimization — setpoint and yield guidance on live telemetry
02 · How it works

Instrument, model, deploy, operate.

Industrial AI only earns trust if it survives contact with the plant. Our loop is built for that — and it runs on the Zoniax Platform, so the path from raw signal to a model in production is one system, not a handoff.

Step 01

Instrument

Capture the signal — sensors, edge gateways, and clean pipelines that turn a noisy process into labelled, trustworthy data.

SensorsEdgePipelinesLabels
Step 02

Model

Train against the plant's own data — vision, timeseries, or tabular — with evaluation that reflects real operating conditions.

Step 03

Deploy to edge

Package the model to run beside the asset — low-latency inference that keeps working when the network doesn't.

Step 04

Operate

Monitor drift, keep an operator in the loop, and retrain as the process changes. A model in production is a living system.

03 · Where it applies

The plants we know best.

Our practice is built around three industries. The AI techniques carry across all of them; what changes is the process they're pointed at and the limits they have to respect.

Food & Beverage

Vision inspection on fill and packaging, cleaning-in-place verification, and anomaly detection across mixing and pasteurization.

Waste-to-Energy

Combustion optimization, emissions soft sensors, and turbine-vibration forecasting — pushing output without crossing regulatory limits.

Metals & Parts

Surface-defect vision, spindle and tool-wear prediction, and closed-loop process optimization driven from the cell.

Field Notes

How we think, in the open.

We publish our working notes on industrial and software AI — the techniques we trust, the trade-offs we weigh, and the approaches that didn't pan out. It's the evidence layer behind this page: see how we reason before you ask us to reason about your operation.

Put AI where it
actually runs.

Tell us the problem — a model you need built, or a line you need to see clearly. We'll tell you plainly whether AI is the right tool, and how we'd ship it.
