An autonomous factory is not a matter of better equipment but of a single operating system that connects perception, decision and execution end to end. That operating system works only when its three axes connect within one company — break any one axis and people end up filling the gap by hand.
Standardizes the factory's data and work on 834+ standard tables and an ontology. 20 industry solutions, 20+ builds delivered.
Hallucination-free manufacturing AI senses, predicts and decides. It moves to execution only on top of simulation verification and AAF authority control.
Connects decisions to physical execution on PLCs, robots and equipment. AI→PLC direct control demonstrated on physical equipment.
Toward 1,200 VEXPLOR AI Factories in 14 countries by 2032 — WACE's long-term vision.
