Signal Layer · The most ambitious frontier

The foundations for physical AI in the factory.

IoT hardware that captures raw, accurate, ground-truth data from the shopfloor — material movement, operator motion, and material transport. The signal layer is what makes the rest of industrial AI real.

Three R&D directions

The hardware that grounds the agents.

You can't run reliable AI on inaccurate data. The Signal Layer is purpose-built to capture the three streams that today's MES, ERP and planning tools simply can't see.

01 · LORA TRACKING

LoRa material tracking

Low-power, long-range radio tags attached to bundles, trolleys and material carts. Track everything moving through the shopfloor with minimal infrastructure — and zero retrofit cost on existing machinery.

Long-range Battery-powered Minimal infra Bundle-level
02 · VISION DEVICES

Egocentric vision

Wearable, on-body cameras that capture an operator's exact field of view. Use computer vision to track motion sequences, validate method compliance, and quantify operator-wise efficiency — without any line-of-sight gaps.

Operator-wise Method compliance Wearable CV-powered
03 · AMR TRANSPORT
DROP

Autonomous material transport

AMRs (autonomous mobile robots) that move material between cutting, sewing, embellishment and finishing — orchestrated by the Action Layer. Eliminates manual fetching, frees operators for value-adding work.

Why a signal layer

Industrial AI fails on poor data — not on poor models.

Most factories instrument 5–10% of what actually happens on the floor. The other 90% — bundle locations, operator motion, transport timing — lives in heads, notebooks and WhatsApp messages.

The Signal Layer brings that 90% online. It's the data spine that lets the Command Layer plan with reality, and lets the Action Layer escalate the right thing at the right time.

01

Ground-truth data

Every bundle, every operator, every move — captured at the source, not reconstructed from scans.

02

Minimal infrastructure

LoRa gateways and on-body devices deploy in a day. No re-wiring, no machine retrofit.

03

Feeds the agents

Raw signals flow into the VDM layer and become the ground truth on which every Command and Action agent acts.
