Your industrial
assets have been
running manually.
QiO builds a precise model of each one. Then it makes continuous adjustments - automatically, without manual intervention.
YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE WASTES ENERGY. QIO FIXES THAT.
AUTONOMOUSLY. IN REAL TIME. WITHOUT MANUAL INTERVENTION.
Four phases. Results in weeks.
Understand
01 Week
Reviews your current performance, energy use and operating conditions. From production volumes and equipment loads to temperatures, setpoints and control strategies.

QiO Edge installs at your site - an on-premises gateway. Connects to your PLCs, SCADA and sensors. No modification to existing controls. Your data stays on your site.
No constant cloud connection required.
Learn
2-3 weeks
QiO builds a precise fingerprint of your specific process - how your industrial assets actually behave under real conditions. Not a generic model. Specific to your site.
Open-loop first - recommendations visible to your team before QiO acts on anything.
Act
Ongoing
Thousands of adjustments per day. Temperature profiles. Airflow. All automatic. All real-time. Your operators retain full control and override at all times.
~10% of burner energy use can be eliminated. Zero disruption to production.
How we do it.
without disrupting the systems you already run.
If setpoints move beyond agreed limits, QiO pauses closed-loop optimisation to protect the process.
Your asset.
Your infrastructure.
Your process.
Brick & Ceramics
Tunnel kilns. Shuttle kilns. Continuous dryers. Firing profiles and airflow optimised in real time. Gas overshoot eliminated.
Glass
Float lines. Container furnaces. Speciality glass. Melt temperatures stabilised. Burner inputs optimised in real time.
Metal & Steel
Reheat furnaces. Annealing lines. Heat treatment. Idle waste eliminated. Overheat cycles stopped. Throughput unaffected.
Paper & Pulp
Recovery boilers. Digesters. Evaporators. Dryer sections. Steam optimised. Drying profiles controlled automatically.
Food & Beverage
Ovens. Dryers. Pasteurisers. Sterilisers. Consistent temperatures. No manual intervention. No batch-to-batch variation.
Other industrial
Energy-intensive process. If it consumes significant energy, QiO can model it and optimise it.
Validated in live deployments
Challenge
Operational data fragmented across SAP, Maximo, CRM and RCI across 100+ global service centres. No single view. Repeat faults and warranty risks invisible until too late.
Deployment
QiO unified daily data ingestions into one real-time model. Delivered role-based dashboards across all centres. Flagged repeat faults, parts burn, warranty risks and SLA breaches automatically — with audit and governance built in.
Outcome
£5M+/yr in avoidable parts and warranty savings. 500+ daily concurrent users. One source of truth for ~100 centres and 2,000+ users.
Challenge
Gas-intensive kilns were manually tuned with variable quality and little real-time insight across sites.
Deployment
Autonomous Optimisation for Manufacturing connected to PLC/SCADA, learned operating profiles, and drove closed-loop burner adjustments under guardrails — template roll-out, minimal on-prem change.
Outcome
~10% gas savings per site, 12,000+ tCO₂/yr at scale, £1M+/yr savings potential, deploy <1 week per site.
Challenge
Capture units needed higher CO₂ throughput at lower steam cost while remaining in open-loop mode.
Deployment
An edge build of Autonomous Optimisation for Manufacturing generated hourly recommendations with operator approval, added a secondary objective to minimise steam, and captured feedback to refine constraints.
Outcome
~8% lower steam per tCO₂, ~10% higher capture throughput, £2M+/yr savings potential, site deploy <1 week.

Reducing gas consumption at the kiln reduces direct emissions at source. Not offset credits. Actual reduction.
Measured, not modelled.
Measured against a confirmed baseline.
Scales with every site.
Each additional site adds to the total.
YOUR OPERATION IS RUNNING RIGHT NOW.
SO IS THE ENERGY WASTE.
We'll quantify it before we speak. Specific to your sites.
ALWAYS OPTIMAL. NEVER MANUAL.
