Form & Finish
Autonomous forming, stamping and cabinet fabrication with enamel and paint control.
- Adaptive press parameters
- Seam and weld quality scoring
- Coverage, film build and cure
Eight modules.One loop.Buy the oneyou need first.
Each Duromex module is a complete product on its own — with its own models, connectors, console and success metric. Bought together, they become the autonomous factory. Bought one at a time, they still pay for themselves.
Each module owns a stage of the unit
Forming, welding, enamel, foam, wiring, test, rating and pack. Watch the cabinet assemble and you are watching the module map.

The seven line modules
Every module deploys to the factory edge, integrates with the equipment already on that stage, and reports against a metric the plant already tracks.
Surface Vision
Surface, weld, dent and enamel/paint defect sensing plus assembly-completeness verification.
- Takt-speed station inspection
- Defect-to-cause attribution
- Downgrade prevention, not just detection
Foam Control
Polyurethane foaming and insulation control for density, distribution and void-freeness.
- Shot weight and mix ratio
- Void and density-gradient prediction
- Thermal-performance forecast
Assembly & Wiring
Component, wiring and electronics assembly control with full verification.
- Placement and torque verification
- Connector seating and polarity
- Harness routing confirmation
Leak & Test
Refrigerant and water leak detection with functional, performance and energy test intelligence.
- Pressure-decay and tracer fusion
- Micro-leak signatures
- Automated failure triage
Robotic Handling
Robotic assembly, material handling and packing with safety-zone supervision.
- Cobot task allocation
- Pack and label verification
- Safe-stop supervision
Yield Optimiser
Factory-wide first-pass yield, scrap, rework, energy and line-balance optimisation.
- Line balancing at takt
- Scrap attribution by station
- Energy per unit produced
Line & Product Twin
Omniverse-based simulation of forming, foaming, assembly and functional performance before the build.
- Changeover rehearsal
- Rare-fault synthetic library
- Predicted yield and takt
What ships with every module
Perception pack
Pre-trained appliance models for that stage, fine-tuned on your product family during shadow mode.
- Vision, thermal, acoustic and pressure models
- Physics-informed process behaviour
- Synthetic rare-fault augmentation
Connector pack
Read and write integration with the equipment on that stage and with your appliance MES.
- REST, OPC UA, MQTT, PLC tags, file drops
- Scoped write authority per line
- Buffered and idempotent by design
Review console
Where a process or test engineer approves, corrects and teaches — the surface that builds the moat.
- Approve, correct, annotate
- Every correction trains the models
- Per-engineer performance memory
Assurance pack
The audit trail, citations and evidence a quality auditor will accept.
- Immutable quality/safety log
- Citations to BOM, recipe and standard
- IEC 60335 evidence capture
Edge runtime
The on-site execution environment with fleet management, canary rollout and rollback.
- K3s on site, Rust/C++ runtime
- Triton and NIM serving
- Signed OTA updates
Modules compose into the factory
The value is not additive — it compounds. A defect the Surface Vision module sees becomes a forming parameter the Form & Finish module changes.
Wedge
One module, one line
The Line plan. One workflow, one line, one metric. This is where almost every customer starts and where ROI is proven.
Loop
All modules, one factory
The Factory plan. Seven agents plus the twin across the site, with yield, scrap, rework and energy optimised as one problem.
Fleet
Many factories, one standard
Enterprise. Multi-site rollout, custom product and quality models, a managed edge GPU fleet and contractual SLAs.
Add-ons
Where the depth lives
Dedicated product, line and quality models, on-prem deployment, premium support and custom integrations.
Network
Benchmarks as a product
First-pass-yield, defect, leak, warranty and energy benchmarks drawn from the cross-factory network, sold as premium tiers.
Which module lands first
Pick by the metric your plant is already judged on.
| If your worst number is… | Start with | Typical ROI metric |
|---|---|---|
| End-of-line functional-test failures | Leak & Test | Functional-test failure rate, retest hours |
| Warranty returns and field failures | Assembly & Wiring + Leak & Test | Warranty rate per thousand units |
| Product downgrades and cosmetic rework | Surface Vision + Form & Finish | First-quality rate, rework hours |
| Energy-rating conformance | Foam Control | Rating conformance, foam rework |
| Throughput and line balance | Yield Optimiser | Units per shift, takt adherence |
| Changeover losses on high mix | Line & Product Twin | Changeover minutes, ramp-up scrap |
Every module deploys the same way
One deployment pattern means the second module is dramatically cheaper than the first. The edge runtime, identity, audit log, review console and fleet management are already there.
That is also the expansion engine: the marginal cost of adding a module falls while the value of the compounding dataset rises.
Shared foundation
- One factory-edge runtime for all modules
- One identity, RBAC and audit surface
- One review console for every engineer
- One model-management and rollout pipeline
- One twin for validating any change

What modules are judged on
“Our end-of-line functional testers told us what failed. They never told us which press stroke or foam shot caused it. That link is the whole product.”
“Foam voids are invisible until the energy rating comes back wrong. Predicting density distribution before the cabinet cures is the part I could not buy anywhere else.”
“If it writes to the press, it needs an audit trail a quality auditor accepts. Duromex started there instead of bolting it on.”
The order we are building in
Drawn from the company roadmap. Dates are targets, not commitments.
0–6 months
Wedge modules with design partners
Connectors, agent loop, review console and the assurance-grade audit log, proven in shadow then advisory mode.
6–12 months
Second module and the twin
Graduated autonomy for low-risk lines and test, plus product-twin hit-quality-before-build.
1–3 years
The full loop
Form → foam → assemble → wire → leak and functional test, owned end to end across multiple sites.
3–10 years
Platform and ecosystem
APIs, adjacent scopes from refrigeration through to HVAC and commercial refrigeration, and network data products.
Buying one module
Can we buy just one module and stop there?
Yes, and many customers should. The Line plan is a complete product for one workflow on one line. Expansion is earned by results, not by contract.
Do modules work without the twin?
Yes. The twin makes change safer and changeovers cheaper, but every line module runs and pays for itself without it.
What if we already have a vision vendor on that station?
Then keep them and start elsewhere, or let us ingest their output as one more signal. Our value is closing the loop back into control, which a camera vendor does not do.
Pick the module. Keep the rest of your factory.
Duromex is additive by design. Nothing gets ripped out to find out whether this works.
