Intro call — 30 minutes
An extrusion engineer, not an SDR. We ask about tonnage, alloys, die families, gauging, the failure mode that costs most, and who owns the number.

Bring us a pressand a number.
A plant assessment baselines recovery, reject rate, die trials, scrap, butt loss and energy per tonne across your presses, then proposes the single workflow with the fastest payback. If the ROI is not there, we will say so.
Typical assessment: two weeks, using your own MES and quality records.
Plant assessment
Tell us whatis bleeding.
The more specific you are about the failure mode — the alloy, the die family, the defect, the shift pattern — the more useful the first call will be.

What happens next
Four stepsto a decision.
Plant assessment
We baseline recovery, reject rate, die trials, scrap, butt loss and energy from your own MES and quality records, and identify the wedge workflow.
Pilot proposal
A paid pilot on one press with a written success metric, an agreed baseline, a defined date and a stated exit if the number is not met.
Deploy and prove
Edge runtime and sensing installed, shadow mode scored against operators and gauges, then assist mode with approvals — and an audited delta at week twelve.
What we will look at
We will ask aboutone push in detail.
Expect questions about taper, ram-speed profile, exit temperature, die family, quench rate, stretch and where the scrap actually comes from. It is the fastest way to find the wedge.
Bring a push that went wrong. Those are the useful ones.
Come prepared
Six thingsworth bringing.
None are mandatory, but each one makes the assessment sharper.
Press inventory
Tonnage, age, control system, and which presses run which profile families.
Recovery definition
How your plant defines saleable versus charged metal — and whether finance agrees with operations.
Reject breakdown
Rejects by cause: dimensional, surface, twist, temper, handling damage.
Die trial history
Proving pushes per new die over the last year, and which die families are worst.
Energy data
kWh per tonne across billet heating, quench and aging, and your tariff structure.
Integration reality
What your press PLC, furnace, gauges and MES expose, and who controls OT network access.
Before you write
Fast answersto fast questions.
Within one business day, from an engineer who works on the product.
Only if you want one. The first call is usually more useful as a conversation about your worst failure mode.
Yes, before any die, drawing, recipe or performance data is shared. Die IP protection is a first-class part of how the product is built.
We work with a small number of design partners at a time so each gets real engineering attention. Tell us your tonnage and your wedge and we will be honest about timing.
Yes. The baseline conversation alone tends to surface things worth knowing, whether or not you deploy anything.

Measured on the press
What the assessmentwill measure.
Every Extruon engagement starts with a baseline and ends with an audited delta. These are the target bands we underwrite in a paid pilot.
+4.2 pts
Press recovery uplift, saleable vs charged metal
−38%
Surface-defect and dimensional rejects
−61%
Die-trial pushes before a die is signed off
−12%
kWh per tonne across heating, quench and aging

Assurance-grade by default
Trust is the gateto autonomy.
Extruon never asks for control it has not earned. Shadow mode proves accuracy against your operators and gauges; advisory mode proves ROI; bounded autonomy only follows once the gates are met.
Per-tenant everything
Data, models, retrieval indexes and memory are scoped per tenant and per entity. On-prem deployment is available for sensitive producers.
Your die geometry stays yours
Die designs, customer drawings and recipes never leave your boundary. Fleet learning shares defect signatures and process priors, never geometry.
Immutable action log
Every perception, recommendation, approval and setpoint write is recorded with its evidence, ready for quality and customer audits.
SSO, RBAC, encryption
SSO and role-based access, encryption in transit and at rest, SOC 2 programme in progress, and fail-safe interlocks on every write path.
Seven agents, one orchestrator
The plant runs as a crewof specialised agents.
Each agent owns a physical stage of the line, senses it directly, and acts inside an approved envelope. A plant orchestrator arbitrates between them so nobody optimises recovery at the expense of temper.
Heat-and-press agent
Controls billet temperature taper, ram speed, breakthrough pressure, container and die temperature, and exit temperature to keep metal flow balanced and the profile on dimension.
Profile-and-defect agent
Senses and predicts cross-section dimensions, wall thickness, straightness and surface defects — die lines, pickup, scoring, blisters — from fused vision and laser gauge.
Die-and-flow agent
Optimises die temperature, correction and flow balance to cut die trials and the twist and bow that send profiles back to the stretcher.
Quench-and-stretch agent
Controls press-quench cooling rate and stretch-straightening so temper and flatness land inside spec on the first pass.
Cut-and-age agent
Controls cut-to-length, batching and aging ovens to reach T5 and T6 mechanical properties without over-soaking the oven.
Robot-and-handling agent
Drives robotic pulling, stacking, racking and packing of long, hot, delicate profiles — the handling nobody wants to staff at 3am.
Yield-and-throughput agent
Optimises press recovery, scrap, butt and offcut loss, and energy per tonne across the whole line rather than one station at a time.
Extrusion-knowledge agent
Answers metallurgy and die-design questions with citations into your die books, profile drawings, press recipes and alloy specs.
Press-and-die digital twin
Simulates billet heating, metal flow through the die, quench and profile properties — hitting the target profile and yield before the push, not after the scrap.

Two weeks to knowwhether this works.
The assessment ends with a baseline, a proposed wedge and an honest answer about whether the ROI is there.
