Pre-launch · building with design partners
Duromex is an independent physical-AI product company. We build one thing: an autonomous operations layer that sees, decides and acts across appliance manufacturing lines — from steel blank to packed pallet.
Appliance manufacturing runs on thin margins and unforgiving tolerances. A foam void becomes an energy-rating failure. A seated connector that is almost seated becomes a warranty claim in eighteen months. A pinhole in enamel becomes a downgrade.
These losses are not caused by a lack of data. Plants are full of data. They are caused by nothing acting on it fast enough, at every station, on every unit, every shift.
Duromex exists to close that loop — to make the line perceive, reason and act within takt time, with a full evidence trail behind every decision.
White goods is a high-volume, low-margin, regulation-heavy industry where a point of first-pass yield is worth more than most software line items.
Presses, enamel lines, foamers, torque tools and leak testers already emit rich telemetry. Almost none of it changes what happens next.
Physical AI — vision, sensor fusion, simulation and reasoning at the edge — crossed the threshold where a station decision can be made in under 100 milliseconds.
Generic MES vendors know factories but not foaming. Vision vendors know cameras but not enamel cure. Neither closes the loop on the appliance itself.
These are engineering positions, not slogans — they show up in the product.
No system should be allowed to write to a press before it has proven it beats the human baseline while writing nothing.
If an agent cannot show why, an engineer cannot defend it and an auditor cannot accept it.
An agent that understands polyurethane cure behaviour is worth more than a general anomaly detector.
If the decision depends on a cloud round-trip, it is not a station decision — it is a report.
Recipes, defect libraries and quality data never leave the tenant and never train a competitor's model.
Any change an agent makes must be observable, bounded and instantly revocable.
We chose to cover the whole build rather than one station, because the defects that cost the most are created in one place and discovered in another.
Stated as plans, not promises.
Instrumenting real lines across refrigeration, laundry, cooking and air conditioning with written success metrics.
Recommendations under human approval, with attributable deltas against published baselines.
Bounded, revocable write authority where the evidence supports it.
Cross-site improvement without cross-tenant data leakage.

Market sizing is our own modelling of appliance-manufacturing operations software and physical-AI spend. Treat it as an estimate.
What an investor, partner or programme reviewer usually asks first.
A small team in London, working on real appliance lines with design partners.
Kabeer leads Duromex’s commercial and product direction: which line goes first, how the success metric is written down, and who at the OEM signs off on it. He works with appliance manufacturers to move forming, foaming, assembly and test onto closed-loop AI, one measured line at a time.
Maria leads engineering: the factory-edge runtime, the vision and sensor-fusion models that decide within takt, the line-and-product digital twin, and the bounded, revocable write-back into line controllers. She is why every agent earns trust in shadow mode first and carries an evidence trail behind every action.
“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.”
Segments we build for
Design-partner programme, 2026. Duromex is pre-launch — partner identities are withheld under NDA and shown by segment, not by logo.
Neither. Duromex licenses a product. The same edge runtime, agents and control plane deploy at every customer; integration work is configuration, not bespoke development.
Because the value is in the vertical depth. Understanding foam cure, enamel film build and refrigerant leak signatures is precisely what a horizontal platform cannot do.
It stays in your tenant. Recipes, defect libraries and quality records are never used to train models for anyone else. See security.
Per-line and per-factory subscriptions, plus enterprise agreements. Pricing is published on the pricing page.
We are looking for appliance manufacturers who want a written success metric and an honest baseline — not a demo.
