04 AI Process Advisor Beta

AI flags process risk after each spool — your technologist stays in control of every change.

AI Process Advisor is the beta process-advisory layer in acqSYS. After each spool it reads the telemetry, QC results, and recipe context behind it and suggests a setpoint adjustment. A technologist decides what to try, the line receives it as a reviewed job comment — never raw AI output — and outcome tracking measures what actually changed.

The demo shows today's beta decision support clearly separated from the roadmap toward autonomous process setup and closed-loop optimization.

Primary user

Technologists, QA, managers & admins

Built for process review — the beta is not an operator-facing autonomous controller.

Trigger

Spool stop

Scoring runs after each spool stop once the beta is switched on for your deployment.

Best demo

Cpk-risk review

Review a suggested adjustment — its evidence, its missing signals, and how the outcome is tracked.

The moment

The right AI conversation starts with evidence, not magic.

Filament process improvement needs telemetry, QC, product, line, job, and spool context. A useful AI layer should show what it knows, what is missing, what action is controllable, and how the result will be reviewed.

In acqSYS

What changes

  • The beta scores spool-stop context, and scoring never holds up QC results — suggestions are saved alongside them.
  • Technologists record decisions and draft reviewed job comments when trying an action.
  • Every decision gets a measured follow-up, so the team learns which adjustments actually helped.

What you get

A reviewed suggestion after every spool, a measured outcome after every decision.

Each suggestion arrives with its evidence — predicted Cpk, confidence band, missing inputs, and the setpoints a technologist can actually change.

01 — Current beta

Evidence-backed suggestions

Technologists, QA, managers, and admins review each suggestion with its spool, line, job, product, and setpoint context.

02 — Decision loop

Decisions stay with people

Technologists record try, skip, or not applicable — and every decision gets outcome tracking.

03 — Roadmap

Where the beta is heading

Toward autonomous process setup, closed-loop process control, production optimization, and formulation R&D automation.

Workflow

The advisor review loop

The beta keeps a clear boundary between recommendation, human decision, operator-safe communication, and measured outcome.

  • Score. After spool stop, the beta reads the spool, line, job, product, and process signals behind it.
  • Suggest. Each suggestion carries predicted Cpk, confidence band, risk level, missing inputs, diagnostics, and controllable actions.
  • Decide. A technologist records try, skip, or not-applicable and may draft a reviewed job comment.
  • Review. Outcome tracking checks whether the change was actually made, then measures the Cpk shift after a settling window — without claiming proof of cause.

AI begins from production evidence. The advisor depends on telemetry, QC, product, line, job, and spool context already present in acqSYS.

Current beta safeguards

  • Switched on per deployment, with access controlled by your admins.
  • Every suggestion declares exactly what data it used — nothing undisclosed feeds a recommendation.
  • If scoring fails, QC results are unaffected.

Controllable setpoints

  • Line speed and screw RPM.
  • Zone or head temperature.
  • Hot bath and cooling bath context where configured.

Roadmap ambition

  • Autonomous process setup.
  • Closed-loop process control and production optimization.
  • Formulation R&D automation using validated production evidence.
Honest scope

Decision support today, autonomy as roadmap.

The boundary stays explicit: the current beta supports decisions — it does not silently control equipment or expose AI-origin wording to operators. Closed-loop optimization stays on the roadmap.

acqSYS advantage

Suggestions are built from your own spool, QC, and telemetry evidence.

The advisor sits on top of the spool, QC, telemetry, ProductHub, job, line, operator-comment, and outcome records that acqSYS already connects.

Connected features

The advisor reads evidence the rest of acqSYS already keeps.
