Design partner
You have a line, a metric and appetite to work with a pre-launch company. Commercial terms reflect that risk.
Start withone line andone metric.
The fastest way to evaluate Duromex is a scoped pilot on the line that hurts most, with a success metric written down before anything is instrumented.
Tell us which line hurts
The more specific you are about the failure you want to remove, the more useful the first call will be.
- We reply within one business day.
- The first call is with a process engineer, not an SDR.
- Every pilot starts with a written success metric.
Who you will talk to
Pick the conversation that matches where you are.
Paid pilot
You want a scoped, time-boxed evaluation on one line with a written success metric and a defined exit.
Enterprise evaluation
Multi-plant scope, security review, procurement and a rollout plan across sites.
Technology partner
You build equipment, MES or integration services and want to work together. See partners.
From first message to first baseline
Five steps, typically six to eight weeks to a measured baseline.
You write to us
One paragraph about the line and the failure. Detail beats formality.
Engineer call
Thirty to sixty minutes with a process engineer to test whether the wedge is real.
Scoping
We agree the line, the workflow, the metric and the measurement method in writing.
Instrumentation
Edge runtime and connectors installed; nothing writes to equipment.
Baseline
Fourteen days minimum of shadow mode, then we publish the baseline and the accuracy gap to you.
What to bring to the first call
None of this is mandatory, but it makes the call far more productive.
The line
Which line, what product family, what takt time and what shift pattern
The failure
What goes wrong, how often, and where it is currently detected
The cost
Roughly what a unit of that failure costs — scrap, rework hours, downgrade or warranty
The data
What telemetry already exists from presses, enamel lines, foamers, tools, testers and MES
The owner
Who inside your plant would own the success metric
The constraint
Anything about safety, IT/OT policy or downtime windows we must design around
Where a pilot usually starts
Most pilots begin at the stage where failures are discovered — leak and functional test — then extend upstream to the stage that caused them.

What we will tell you on the first call
If your problem is better solved by a fixed-function vision system, we will say so. If your line has no usable telemetry and no appetite to add sensors, we will say that too.
Duromex is pre-launch. Working with us means working alongside a team still hardening the product. That is a real trade-off, and the commercial terms reflect it.
We will be clear about
- Whether your wedge is a good fit or not
- What we have and have not yet proven in production
- Where the model will be uncertain on your product mix
- What the pilot needs from your team, in hours
- What happens to your data, in writing
Is a pilot the right next step?
A quick self-check before you write to us.
| Signal | Good fit | Not yet |
|---|---|---|
| Volume | Continuous line, hundreds of units per shift | Low-volume or job-shop production |
| Failure cost | Warranty, scrap or downgrade cost is material | Losses are already close to zero |
| Telemetry | Equipment emits data, or sensors can be added | No telemetry and no appetite to add any |
| Ownership | A named person owns the metric | No internal owner for the outcome |
| Appetite | Comfortable starting in shadow mode | Requires proven control from day one |

What partners say after the first call
“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.”
Practical questions
How long does a pilot take?
Typically six to eight weeks to a measured baseline, then a further period in advisory mode before any control is discussed.
What does a pilot cost?
Pilot pricing is scoped to the line and the workflow. See pricing for the subscription model that follows a successful pilot.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes, as a matter of course. Design-partner work is under NDA and nothing publishes without written approval.
Can we start with a security review?
Yes — many enterprises do. Start at security and we will work through your questionnaire.
Tell us which line hurts most.
One paragraph is enough to start. A process engineer will reply.
Duromex is pre-launch. Figures shown are design-partner targets and modelled economics, not audited results. Ask us for the methodology.
