Trust
Grounded, auditable, quality-grade outputs. Every control decision is logged and traceable.
The platform
The autonomy layer for the converting plant
One plant-edge stack turns perception into bounded machine control across the corrugator, presses, die-cutters, folder-gluers and end-of-line, with a digital twin that tunes makeready before the run.
The problem, precisely
A genuine black art, run at enormous speed on razor-thin margins
Turning giant reels of paper and board into strong, square, beautifully printed packages depends on dozens of coupled variables that drift with humidity, board lot, ink and job.
- Corrugator: warp, washboarding, delamination, bond & crush strength
- Press: registration within a fraction of a millimeter, exact brand color
- Die-cut & fold: clean cuts, sound creases, no skips or fishtails
- End-of-line: high-mix feeding, stacking, bundling and palletizing

Perceive → decide → act
Perceive → decide → act, on every machine
The same closed loop runs at each stage, orchestrated by the twin.
-
01
Sense
Edge vision, inline spectrophotometry and PLC telemetry fuse into a live state for board, print, cut, fold and stack.
-
02
Predict
Models forecast bond and crush strength, color ΔE, cut and crease quality, joint integrity and stack stability in real time.
-
03
Decide
Process agents choose bounded setpoint moves that hold target quality and yield within operator-approved limits.
-
04
Act
Closed-loop control adjusts steam, heat, glue, moisture, tension, registration, ink keys, fold speed and robot motion.
-
05
Simulate
The converting-line-and-box twin auto-tunes makeready before the run and validates every change first.

Learn
Outcomes flow back into the plant-edge flywheel so every agent, and every plant, gets better.
The stance
Four brand pillars, built into the architecture
The platform is designed to earn trust on the plant floor, not just in a demo.
Autonomy
It performs the work, not just assists, bounded closed-loop control, not another dashboard.
Outcomes
Priced and measured on value: waste, makeready, claims, energy and OEE.
Vertical depth
Built for packaging converting specifically, not a generic industrial AI shell.
The data flywheel
A cross-machine dataset no single-vendor tool can assemble
Board strength informs fold and stacking; print and fold defects inform makeready; the twin calibrates against every run. Each product’s outcomes become training signal for the others.
- Image + spectro + PLC + outcome telemetry, unified at the edge
- Shared cross-vendor machine and MES connectors
- Common Jetson / Triton / NIM serving fabric
- Omniverse converting-line-and-box twin as system of record

What runs where
| Layer | Where it runs | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Perception | Plant edge (Jetson) | Real-time vision & spectro inference at line speed |
| Process agents | Plant edge / on-prem | Bounded setpoint decisions per machine |
| Control bridge | Machine PLC / OPC-UA | Closed-loop moves within approved limits |
| Digital twin | OVX / RTX (Omniverse) | Pre-run simulation and makeready auto-tune |
| Flywheel & models | DGX / cloud | Training, evaluation and fleet model updates |
Foldeon closes the loop from perception to corrugator, press and gluer control, lifting quality and OEE while cutting waste, makeready, claims, energy and manual checks.
Answers
Questions converters ask
Can we start with a single line?
Yes. The Line tier deploys one agent on one press or line. As ROI proves out you expand to more lines, more modules and the full plant loop.
How does the twin reduce makeready?
The converting-line-and-box twin simulates corrugation, print and die/fold to hit target quality and yield before the run, so the line reaches spec with less setup waste and fewer trial sheets.
What about operator trust and control?
Every plant chooses its autonomy level (shadow mode recommends only, assist mode requires approval, autonomous control runs bounded) per machine and per workflow.
