Physical AI · Wire and cable autonomy

The line runs itself. You decide how far.

Draweon is an agent operating system for wire and cable plants. Specialist agents control drawing and annealing, stranding and cabling, and insulation and jacket extrusion, watched by fused laser, eddy-current, spark and vision inspection, rehearsed on an as-run line twin, and bounded by a policy engine you control.

Run timeline · scenario

One scenario run, step by step

Every Draweon run is an ordered, inspectable sequence. This is run_3d7a1e on EX-3 · 2.5 mm² class 2 PVC building wire. Scenario completes in 10 steps with one approval gate. Wall settles at 0.80 mm nominal, minimum 0.66 mm, concentricity 0.93, no spark faults, reel R-30417 released with full genealogy.

How it works

A goal becomes a plan becomes a run

Nothing about a Draweon run is implicit. The goal is declared, the plan is simulated on the twin, each step is typed and bounded, and the outcome is written to the reel record.

Active path

The orchestrator plans, the agents act

A run starts as a goal, becomes a plan, and executes as a graph of typed steps. The active path is always visible, always logged, always reversible.

RUNNING APPROVAL SUCCEEDED

Human in the loop

Autonomy is a dial, not a switch

L1 advisory, L2 supervised writes, L3 bounded autonomy, L4 unattended within an envelope. Each plant sets the level per agent, per tag, per shift, and every write above the threshold waits for a named approver. The four figures above are design targets, not measured results.

Agent roster

Nine agents, a twin and an orchestrator

Each agent owns a section of the line, a bounded tool set and a metric the plant already measures. They negotiate for shared actuators through the orchestrator, never directly. Five of them ship as named products.

agent.draw_anneal · shipped as Drawix

Draw-and-Anneal

Rod breakdown, wire drawing, annealing

Perceives rod, wire, tension, die force, temperature and annealer conductivity in real time, predicts break risk and die wear before they happen, and closes the loop on die and capstan sequencing, tension, line speed and annealing setpoints to hold diameter and conductivity.

plc.read_tensionplc.write_setpointannealer.set_current

agent.strand_cable · shipped as Cablyn

Strand-and-Cable

Stranding, cabling, lay and geometry

Senses payoff tension, take-up, rotational speed and geometry, predicts lay and roundness drift and birdcaging before they form, and closes the loop on strander and take-up speeds and tensions to hold target lay length and geometry.

plc.read_payoffplc.write_setpointgeometry.read_lay

agent.insulate_jacket · shipped as Extrio

Insulate-and-Jacket

Insulation and jacket extrusion

Fuses gauge, laser and wall-scan signals with melt and cooling telemetry, predicts eccentricity and wall drift before it lands on the reel, and closes the loop on screw speed, temperature zones, line speed and cooling to hold concentric wall and dielectric quality.

gauge.read_wallplc.write_setpointcooling.set_zone

agent.defect_inspect · shipped as Eddix

Defect-and-Inspect

Fused inspection and defect prediction

Fuses vision, laser, eddy-current and spark-test signals into one real-time model of cable health. Detects and predicts diameter drift, lumps and neckdowns, insulation faults, sparks and pinholes, localises them to reel and length, and routes bounded corrections upstream.

sensors.fusevision.streamgenealogy.write

agent.quality_dim

Quality-and-Dimension

Conductor, insulation and dimensional quality

Holds conductor, insulation and dimensional quality against the construction spec across the whole line, reconciling what the control agents want with what the spec allows.

spec.checkgauge.read_walllab.read_conductivity

agent.yield_takt

Yield-and-Takt

Yield, scrap, length give-away, energy, line balancing

Prices every candidate move in scrap, give-away, kilowatt-hours and minutes, sequences changeovers and reel changes, and balances line speed against downstream capacity.

cuopt.sequencemes.read_ordersenergy.budget

agent.robot_handling

Robot-and-Handling

Spool, reel, payoff and take-up handling

Drives spool, reel and payoff and take-up handling so the line never waits on a reel change, with motion planned and checked in simulation before it runs near moving conductor.

isaac.plan_pathtakeup.reel_changewms.route

agent.quality_conf

Quality-and-Conformance

Right-first-time, non-conformance, genealogy, traceability

Builds the reel and length genealogy record, gates release against the construction spec and the standards the cable is qualified to, and assembles evidence packets for customer and regulatory review.

mes.log_reelspec.checkaudit.write

agent.cable_knowledge

Cable-Knowledge

Specs, standards, procedures, operator Q&A

Answers process and standards questions from draw schedules, construction and insulation specs, cable standards and quality procedures, with every answer cited to its source and scoped to the tenant.

rag.retrievestandards.citeprocedure.lookup

twin.simweon · shipped as Simweon

Line Twin

As-run whole-line simulation and recipe optimisation

Simulates rod breakdown, drawing, annealing, stranding, extrusion, cooling and reel handling with GPU physics, compares as-run against as-designed, and auto-optimises draw schedule, lay and extrusion recipes so the line hits target quality, dimension and takt before the first metre runs.

twin.simulatetwin.compare_asrunrecipe.optimise

agent.orchestrator

Plant Orchestrator

Planning, arbitration, human approval

Plans the run, arbitrates between agents competing for the same actuator, enforces the autonomy level and routes anything above the risk threshold to a named approver.

plan.composepolicy.evaluateapproval.request
Where it pays

Four loops, four metrics

Draweon is not a dashboard. Each agent closes a loop a cable plant already measures in scrap, metres, kilowatt-hours and minutes. The tables show what each loop watches and what it is allowed to move.

Breaks and die wear

Catch the break before the wire goes

Draw tension, die force and temperature are fused at the edge into a rolling break-risk estimate. When risk crosses the threshold the agent has time to trim tension or step the die sequence instead of restringing a line.

  • Tension, force and thermal streams fused at 100 to 1,000 Hz
  • Die-wear estimate with a bounded tension response
  • Every break and precursor labelled into the training set

Wall and concentricity

Stop paying for a thick wall

Walls run thick because thin is dangerous. Extrio fuses gauge, laser and wall-scan with melt and cooling telemetry and holds the wall at nominal, not at nominal plus a margin, while keeping minimum spot wall above the floor.

  • Wall and concentricity predicted, not only measured
  • Screw speed, zone temperature and cooling moved together

Sparks and pinholes

Predict the spark, then prevent it

A spark tester tells you about a fault after it is on the reel. Eddix fuses vision, laser, eddy-current and spark signals to score insulation health ahead of the tester and route a bounded correction upstream.

  • Defects localised to reel and length

Changeovers

Rehearse the run on the twin

Every changeover and new construction is simulated on the as-run line twin before a setpoint moves. Candidates that save polymer but push minimum wall under the floor or raise spark risk are discarded automatically.

  • 10 to 100 candidate recipes per changeover
  • Ranked on wall variance, concentricity, spark risk and give-away
  • The chosen recipe is executed step by step and logged

Multi-agent handoff

Agents negotiate, they do not collide

Two agents will want the same actuator. The orchestrator arbitrates on the run goal, not on who asked first, and the handoff is logged like any other step.

Contested move: EX-3 screw speed

  1. 01yield_takt.request(screw −1.2%) SUCCEEDED0.2 s

    Yield-and-Takt wants to trim screw speed to reduce polymer give-away on the thick side of the wall.

  2. 02defect_inspect.request(screw +1.5%) SUCCEEDED0.2 s

    Defect-and-Inspect wants to raise screw speed to clear a neckdown precursor at 12,480 m.

  3. 03orchestrator.arbitrate SUCCEEDED0.4 s

    Neckdown risk 0.58 outranks 0.3% give-away under the run goal "zero spark faults". Defect-and-Inspect wins the actuator for 120 s.

  4. 04yield_takt.handoff(returned) SUCCEEDED120 s

    Actuator returned. Yield-and-Takt recovers give-away through the cooling trough instead. Wall holds at 0.80 mm nominal.

Illustrative scenario.

Arbitration rules

  • Run goal first. Every request is scored against the declared goal, not the requesting agent's local objective.
  • Safety and dielectric outrank yield. A spark fault on a reel costs more than a fraction of a percent of polymer.
  • Time-boxed ownership. An agent holds a contested actuator for a bounded window, then must re-justify.
  • Everything is logged. The losing request, the score and the reason all appear in the run record.
  • Deadlocks escalate to a human rather than resolving by timeout.

See the agent roster

Autonomy

Four levels, set per agent and per tag

A plant does not go from manual to unattended in one step. Draweon makes the level explicit, auditable and reversible at any time. The first release runs shadow mode, then assist mode, then graduated autonomy.

Autonomy levels and the human role at each
LevelWhat the agent doesWhat the human doesWhere it sits in a pilot
L1 · AdvisoryRecommends setpoints and explains why, with citationsEnters every change manuallyShadow mode, weeks 1 to 3
L2 · SupervisedProposes a write; it executes on approvalApproves each write in the review consoleAssist mode, weeks 4 to 8
L3 · BoundedWrites inside tag, rate and magnitude limitsApproves ramps, die changes and reel releaseGraduated autonomy, from week 9 if the plant is satisfied
L4 · UnattendedRuns the envelope without promptingSets the envelope; reviews the shift recordPlanned; after qualification on the construction
Targets

Design targets, stated as targets

These are the figures in our compute plan. None is a measured result. Every pilot measures against the plant's own baseline, reproduced from the plant's reel genealogy, not from our telemetry.

10 to 40 models served per plant, canary rollout by line · design target
5 to 20 M labelled frames and events for the first training sets · design target

Segments

Where cable makers start

Power, building wire, automotive and EV harness, data and fibre, magnet and specialty. Most plants pick one line and one wedge, prove the number, then expand.

Power transmission and distributionGrid and renewables cable

Power transmission and distribution

Large conductors, long runs and dielectric requirements that leave no margin. Drawing, stranding and insulation control with fused inspection on every reel.

Building wireHigh-speed, high-volume

Building wire

Thin walls at high line speed, where give-away and spark faults decide margin. Extrio and Eddix on the insulation line first.

Automotive and EV harnessThin-wall, qualified constructions

Automotive and EV harness

Small conductors, thin walls and USCAR qualification. Concentricity and spark prediction before the reel, genealogy for every lot.

Data and fibreGeometry-sensitive

Data and fibre

Lay and geometry decide electrical performance. Cablyn holds lay and roundness and hands a round core to extrusion.

Magnet and specialty wireFine drawing and annealing

Magnet and specialty wire

Fine diameters, exact conductivity and softness. Drawix on break prediction and annealing control, energy per reel measured.

Accelerated computing

Physical AI, at the die train

Conductor moves at over a thousand metres a minute. Perception has to be local, deterministic and fast, so Draweon runs GPU inference at the plant edge and keeps training, simulation and optimisation in the cloud or on-prem.

Jetson Orin · DeepStream · Holoscan · TensorRT

Edge perception

4 to 12 cameras per line plus laser, eddy-current and spark streams fused at the line. Sub-50 ms alerting and sub-250 ms bounded control are the design targets. Jetson Thor is planned for higher sensor density.

Triton · NIM

Model serving

Vision, time-series, anomaly and quality models behind one orchestrator at the plant edge, with canary rollout by line and fallback to the previous validated version.

DGX or HGX · NeMo

Training

Defect classifiers, sensor-fusion models, time-series prognostics and cable-process reasoning models trained on reel telemetry and engineer corrections. Dedicated training capacity is planned.

Omniverse · OVX · Modulus

Line twin

As-run drawing, stranding, extrusion, thermal and tension simulation. Physics-informed surrogates are planned so recipes can be optimised at production cadence.

Cosmos · Omniverse Replicator

Synthetic data

Rare spark, pinhole, eccentricity, neckdown and break variants generated and validated against real gauge, spark and vision distributions before promotion. Planned.

cuOpt

Optimisation

Line sequencing, reel changeovers, energy allocation, takt and constrained setpoint proposals.

Isaac · Isaac Sim

Robot handling

Spool, reel and payoff and take-up motion planned and validated in simulation before it runs next to moving conductor.

Developers

Define an agent, bound it, run it

The Draweon SDK is typed Python. Tools are declared with schemas and limits and the policy engine enforces them at call time, not in a review meeting. This is a design preview; the API will change before release.

What you get

  • Typed tool definitions with unit-aware ranges and rate limits
  • Deterministic replay of any historical run against a new model
  • Local twin harness so a recipe is simulated before it is shipped
  • Autonomy policy as code, versioned and reviewed like any other change

Who it is for

Built for the people who run the line

We have no customer quotes to show yet and will not invent any. These are the three roles in a cable plant we build for, and the problems they bring to the first meeting.

Plant or Operations Director

Owns production rate, quality, scrap and yield, energy and delivery.

What this person is dealing with today

  • Fixed die and line-speed setpoints that cap dimension consistency, rate and yield
  • Expensive copper and aluminium scrap and length give-away eroding margin
  • A retiring wire-drawer and extrusion-operator workforce that caps rate

Process or Extrusion Engineer

Owns draw schedules, annealing, stranding lay and extrusion recipes, process windows and yield.

What this person is dealing with today

  • Diameter, eccentricity, lump and neckdown faults driving scrap and downgrade
  • Wire breaks and die wear halting high-speed lines
  • Drawing, stranding, extrusion and inspection siloed and reactive

Quality or Reliability Engineer

Owns cable quality to UL, IEC, IPC and automotive standards, defect and dielectric conformance, reel and length genealogy.

What this person is dealing with today

  • Spark and pinhole insulation failures causing rejects and safety escapes
  • Genealogy stitched together by hand across separate systems
  • Evidence for customer and regulatory review assembled after the fact

Guardrails

An agent that can move a screw speed needs a leash

Draweon writes to production equipment. Every capability is scoped, every write is policy-checked, and every action is written to an append-only audit log the plant owns.

  • Bounded action space. Each agent writes only to an explicit tag allow-list, inside per-tag rate and magnitude limits.
  • Policy engine before every write. Autonomy level, shift, construction, interlock state and operator presence are evaluated before a setpoint moves.
  • Human-in-the-loop gates. Anything above the site threshold, such as line-speed ramps, die changes and reel release, waits for a named approver.
  • Immutable audit log. Append-only and exportable. Every action records source signals, retrieved procedures, predicted impact, allowed range, rollback condition, approver and reel scope.
  • Hard fallback. Loss of the edge node, the network or a model returns control to the line controller's last known-good state.
  • Tenant and IP isolation. Construction recipes, defect libraries and process memory never cross a customer boundary. On-prem deployment is available for sensitive producers.

Enterprise

Standardise autonomy across the group

One policy model, one audit trail, one benchmark across every line in every plant, with the conductor, insulation and tolerance models kept private to each site.

Talk to us Enterprise details

  • SSO and role-based access down to the tag level, planned for the 6 to 12 month release
  • Group-wide autonomy policy with per-site override and approval chains
  • Cross-plant benchmarking on scrap, give-away, breaks, energy and first-pass quality
  • On-prem and plant-edge deployment, with air-gapped operation for sensitive producers
  • Edge autonomy that survives control-plane loss by returning to the controller's last known-good state
  • Dedicated deployment engineer and quarterly model review per plant
FAQ

Straight answers

The questions plant directors and process engineers ask in the first meeting.

Yes, but only within an explicit tag allow-list with per-tag rate and magnitude limits, and only at the autonomy level your plant has set. Level 1 is advisory: Draweon recommends and a human enters everything. Design partners start there, in shadow mode, before supervised writes.

Get started

Bring autonomy to your line

Start with one drawing, stranding or extrusion line and one measurable baseline. A paid pilot on wall and concentricity, break prediction or spark prediction shows the number before you commit further.
