Physics-informed AI for tool wear monitoring and life prediction

Predict tool wear before it happens, reduce breakage, scrap, and downtime.
Deployable across your existing machines, from one tool to the whole factory.

Tool to Factory Factory

From a single tool to factory-wide intelligence

The same physics-informed platform scales across processes and machines,
turning tool-level insight into factory-wide optimization.

An intelligent platform for manufacturing process optimization.

Sarting with CNC machining, built to scale across processes.

Physics-Informed AI

Smart Adviser combines machine learning with the physics of machining, so its predictions stay grounded in how tools and materials actually behave. This keeps results reliable and consistent, avoiding the drift and false alarms common to AI-only systems.

Day-Zero Deployment

Smart Adviser is operational from installation, pre-trained and ready to deliver insight from the first cut, with no lengthy data-collection phase before it adds value. It then refines itself continuously through real-world feedback, getting sharper the more it runs.

Retrofit-Ready & Low-Cost

Smart Adviser works with existing machines and standard process signals, without heavy capital investment or downtime for installation. It scales from a single tool to factory-wide intelligence, making advanced monitoring accessible to shops of any size.

CapabilitiesWhat Smart Adviser DoesCapabilities

Turning process signals into actionable intelligence
Real-Time
Monitoring
Continuously tracks tool condition during machining, surfacing wear states as they develop rather than after failure.
Wear-State
Classification
Estimates flank wear against recognized standards (ISO 8688-2), giving a clear, calibrated read on tool health, not a black-box score.
Remaining Useful Life (RUL) Prediction
Estimates how much usable life a tool has left and when to intervene, so tool changes happen on evidence, not guesswork or fixed schedules.
Adaptive
Optimization
Feeds validated insight back into the process, supporting better cutting decisions and progressively tuned performance over time.
