Draweon ships as five products mapped to the cable line, not to abstract capabilities. Drawix, Cablyn and Extrio control a process step, Eddix is the shared inspection backbone and Simweon is the twin over the whole line. Start with one on the Line tier and expand as each proves its number.
Illustrative scenario: EX-3 · 2.5 mm² class 2 PVC building wire, changeover, no spark faults
Drawix controls rod breakdown, drawing and annealing. Cablyn takes sized conductor and controls stranding. Extrio takes the core and controls insulation and jacket extrusion. Eddix senses across all three. Simweon simulates the whole line and hands proven setpoints back.
Drawix 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.
Cablyn 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, feeding a clean, round, on-spec core to extrusion..
Extrio 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 vacuum and cooling to hold concentric wall and dielectric quality while cutting polymer give-away and scrap..
Eddix fuses vision, laser, eddy-current and spark-test signals into one real-time model of cable health.
Simweon simulates rod breakdown, drawing, annealing, stranding, extrusion, cooling and reel handling with GPU-accelerated physics, compares as-run against as-designed, and auto-optimises draw schedule, lay and extrusion recipes to hit target quality, dimension and takt before the first metre runs.
Autonomous rod-breakdown, wire-drawing and annealing control that hits diameter and conductivity without breaks.
Wire drawing is the craft-bound, energy-hungry front of every cable plant. Rod is pulled down through a die train to precise diameter and tensile at high line speed, then annealed to exact conductivity and softness. Fixed die and line-speed setpoints cannot hold as dies wear, rod chemistry shifts and lubrication drifts, so wire necks down or breaks, annealer conductivity drifts and the line stops. Every break scraps copper or aluminium and costs a high-speed line minutes it never recovers.
Drawix 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. It captures each drawer's craft as a reusable model, so the plant runs at expert tension on every shift.
Wire and cable manufacturers running rod breakdown, intermediate and fine drawing, and continuous or batch annealing in copper and aluminium.
Named in the product brief as current design
Planned
Edge inference fuses tension, force, thermal and conductivity streams at 100 to 1,000 Hz with sub-50 ms decision latency. CPU-only loops miss break precursors that develop in milliseconds. GPU training over millions of draw events and physics-informed surrogates make hit-diameter-before-run recipes tractable.
One drawing line plus annealer, tension, die and thermal sensing, break-risk prediction with advisory then bounded autonomy, an energy-per-reel view. First metric: break or energy reduction on a named line.
Tier. Line tier, $14,000 per drawing line per month, expanding to Plant and Enterprise.
Open questions
Autonomous stranding and cabling control that holds lay length and geometry across every conductor.
Stranding and cabling turn single wires into a conductor or a cable core, and geometry is everything: lay length, lay direction, tightness and roundness decide flexibility, diameter, electrical performance and whether downstream extrusion lands concentric. Fixed bunching, planetary and rigid-strander setpoints cannot hold lay as tension, spool payoff and wire batches vary, so lay drifts, cores go out of round, and birdcaging surfaces reels later as scrap.
Cablyn 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, feeding a clean, round, on-spec core to extrusion.
Wire and cable makers running bunching, planetary, rigid and tubular stranding and cabling lines for power, building, automotive and EV harness, data and specialty cable.
Named in the product brief as current design
Planned
Multi-spool tension and geometry fusion at high rate with sub-250 ms bounded control exceeds CPU real-time budgets. GPU training over stranding telemetry and simulated lay dynamics make predictive geometry control and hit-lay-before-run feasible.
One stranding line, tension and geometry sensing, lay and roundness prediction advisory then bounded control. First metric: out-of-round or lay-consistency scrap reduction.
Tier. Line tier, $14,000 per stranding line per month, expanding to Plant and Enterprise.
Open questions
Autonomous insulation and jacket extrusion control that holds wall thickness, concentricity and dielectric quality at line speed.
Insulation and jacket extrusion decides whether a cable passes or becomes a safety recall. Molten PVC, XLPE, PE or rubber is extruded over a moving conductor to an exact wall and concentricity, then cooled and cured at high line speed. Fixed screw-speed, temperature and line-speed setpoints drift as material lots, moisture and cooling change, so walls run thick (wasted polymer) or thin and eccentric (dielectric weak spots, sparks, pinholes, field failures).
Extrio 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 vacuum and cooling to hold concentric wall and dielectric quality while cutting polymer give-away and scrap.
Wire and cable makers running insulation and jacket extrusion lines for power and building wire, automotive and EV, data and fibre, and specialty cable qualified to UL, IEC and automotive standards.
Named in the product brief as current design
Planned
Edge fusion of wall, laser, X-ray and thermal at 100 to 1,000 Hz with sub-250 ms bounded control. GPU-accelerated polymer-extrusion CFD and thermal simulation make hit-wall-before-run recipes feasible where standard solvers are too slow for production cadence.
One extrusion line, wall and concentricity fusion, eccentricity prediction advisory then bounded control, a give-away view. First metric: polymer give-away or eccentricity reduction.
Tier. Line tier, $14,000 per extrusion line per month, expanding to Plant and Enterprise.
Open questions
Multi-sensor defect inspection that predicts eccentricity, sparks and pinholes before they reach the reel.
A cable plant runs blind between spot checks. Diameter drift, lumps and neckdowns, insulation faults, sparks and pinholes appear at line speed, but inspection is fragmented across separate laser gauges, eddy-current heads, spark testers and occasional cameras, each alarming after the defect is already made. By the time a spark tester trips, thousands of metres may be off-spec.
Eddix fuses vision, laser, eddy-current and spark-test signals into one real-time model of cable health. It detects and predicts diameter and eccentricity drift, lumps and neckdowns, insulation faults, sparks and pinholes, localises them to exact reel and length, and hands bounded corrective recommendations to Drawix, Cablyn and Extrio so the line self-corrects before scrap is made.
Wire and cable makers running drawing, stranding and extrusion lines with laser, eddy-current, spark and vision inspection who need to cut scrap, downgrade and dielectric field escapes and prove conformance.
Named in the product brief as current design
Planned
4 to 12 cameras per line at 60 to 240 fps plus laser, eddy, spark and time-series fusion at 100 to 1,000 Hz demand GPU inference under 50 ms. GPU training over 5 to 20 million labelled frames and synthetic rare-defect generation are accelerated-compute workloads by nature.
One line, fused vision, laser and spark, predictive spark and eccentricity alerting with reel localisation and genealogy export. First metric: downgrade or escape reduction.
Tier. Line tier, $14,000 per line per month as the inspection module, bundled in Plant and Enterprise.
Open questions
An as-run cable-line digital twin that hits target quality, dimension and takt before the run.
Cable makers commit copper, polymer and a whole line to a run before they know it will hold spec. New constructions, material lots and changeovers are dialled in on the real line, burning scrap, energy and hours while operators chase setpoints. There is no fast, physics-accurate way to simulate drawing, stranding and extrusion together and prove a recipe first.
Simweon simulates rod breakdown, drawing, annealing, stranding, extrusion, cooling and reel handling with GPU-accelerated physics, compares as-run against as-designed, and auto-optimises draw schedule, lay and extrusion recipes to hit target quality, dimension and takt before the first metre runs. It feeds proven setpoints to Drawix, Cablyn and Extrio.
Wire and cable makers introducing new constructions, running frequent changeovers, or scaling grid, data-centre and EV cable who need to cut ramp scrap and prove recipes before production.
Named in the product brief as current design
Planned
Polymer-extrusion CFD, drawing and thermal, and stranding-dynamics simulation are compute-heavy. Running them fast enough for daily production planning is impossible on CPU. Physics-informed surrogates and cuOpt optimisation are GPU workloads by nature, making this the most GPU-intensive product in the stack.
An extrusion-line twin with CFD and thermal, as-run versus as-designed deltas and recipe suggestion for one construction. First metric: changeover-time or ramp-scrap reduction. Then the whole line.
Tier. Sold inside Plant ($90,000 per month) and Enterprise as the twin and optimisation layer.

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.
Plant Orchestrator · Pulled the construction spec for 2.5 mm² class 2 PVC building wire from MES: 7 × 0.67 mm conductor, 0.80 mm nominal wall, 0.62 mm minimum spot wall, 6 kV spark test, 48 km order. Locked the target envelope.
Line Twin · Simulated 36 candidate recipes on the as-run line twin for draw schedule, lay length and extrusion setpoints, ranked on wall variance, concentricity, predicted spark risk and polymer give-away.
Draw-and-Anneal · Capstan tension on RB1 stepped down 6% as the die-wear estimate crossed its threshold. Diameter held at 0.670 mm ± 0.004 mm and the break-risk score fell from 0.31 to 0.09.
Draw-and-Anneal · Annealer current trimmed against the live conductivity reading to hold the softness target without over-anneal through the speed change.
Strand-and-Cable · Lay length set to 28 mm on bunching line ST2 with payoff tension balanced across 7 spools. Roundness index held above 0.97 into the extrusion payoff.
Insulate-and-Jacket · Screw speed and zone 3 temperature re-cut against melt pressure and material-lot moisture. Wall settled at 0.80 mm nominal, minimum 0.66 mm, concentricity 0.93.
Defect-and-Inspect · 6 cameras, the laser gauge, the eddy-current head and the spark tester fused at the edge. One neckdown precursor at 12,480 m flagged and cleared by a screw-speed trim before it reached the reel.
Plant Orchestrator · Line-speed ramp 1,100 to 1,250 m/min exceeded the site autonomy threshold. Held for the shift process engineer and approved at 06:41:52.
Robot-and-Handling · Reel change on take-up TU3 planned and executed by the handling robot. Payoff aligned and tension re-established inside the changeover window.
Quality-and-Conformance · Reel R-30417 released: genealogy written (conductor lot, draw and anneal record, lay, wall and concentricity trace, defect map, approvals) and checked against the construction spec.
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.
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.
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.
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.
As-run drawing, stranding, extrusion, thermal and tension simulation. Physics-informed surrogates are planned so recipes can be optimised at production cadence.
Rare spark, pinhole, eccentricity, neckdown and break variants generated and validated against real gauge, spark and vision distributions before promotion. Planned.
Line sequencing, reel changeovers, energy allocation, takt and constrained setpoint proposals.
Spool, reel and payoff and take-up motion planned and validated in simulation before it runs next to moving conductor.
Land on one workflow with a measured baseline. Expand by line, module and autonomy level. Outcome components are available on yield, scrap, length and energy. Annual prepay carries a 15 to 20% discount.
Drawing or extrusion control, or inspection, for a single line. For cable makers validating ROI on the wedge.
The whole loop: draw and anneal, strand and cable, insulate and jacket, defect, quality and dimension, yield and takt, robotic handling and the twin.
Multi-site wire and cable groups standardising on Draweon, with custom conductor, insulation and tolerance models.
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.
Control returns to the line controller's last known-good state. Draweon is a supervisory layer on top of the PLCs and gauges you already run, never a replacement for them, so an outage degrades the line to its current way of running, not to a stop.
Advisory recommendations start from the physics-based twin and the construction spec in the first weeks. Defect prediction and break prediction improve as line history and labelled events accumulate per construction. The first training sets are sized at 5 to 20 million labelled frames and events, a design target.
Only if you choose cloud training. Recipes, process models and defect libraries are isolated per tenant and never used to train another customer's models. A fully on-prem deployment at the plant edge is available for sensitive producers.
You are, the same as with any control strategy, which is why every write is policy-checked, bounded, logged and reversible, and why anything above your risk threshold waits for a named approver. The audit log records the request, the reasoning, the limits applied and the human decision.
A paid pilot on one line, scoped to a single workflow with a baseline agreed in writing. Weeks 1 to 3 are connection and shadow-mode observation, weeks 4 to 8 are assist mode with engineer approval, and bounded autonomy follows if the plant is satisfied with the recommendations.
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.
