SOC 2 & ISO 27001
SOC 2 Type II program with encryption in transit and at rest, SSO/SAML, SCIM and RBAC down to the line.
The questions plant teams actually ask
Grouped by who is asking: plant leadership, process and quality engineers, IT and OT, and finance.
The basics
It perceives what is happening on your line in real time, decides what should change, and — within limits your quality team approves — makes the change and records it.
Those are systems of record: they tell you what happened. Anodela is a system of action: it changes what happens next, inside a qualified envelope.
No. It removes the repetitive decisions that consume their shift so they can work on the problems only they can solve. They keep authority over every envelope.
Shadow mode produces insight in weeks. Assist mode typically beats the engineer baseline within 6–8 weeks. Bounded control usually follows in the same quarter.
Control, qualification and risk
Every action must match an armed envelope that your quality team approved, and every envelope must pass twin validation. Actions outside it queue for a human.
It degrades. Low confidence means the agent falls back to the last safe setpoint and raises a proposal instead of acting.
Yes. Every executed change is idempotent and reversible, and adverse signals trigger automatic rollback with an alert.
It should strengthen your evidence. Autonomous changes are recorded more completely than manual ones, with named approvers, timestamps and cell-level linkage.
Integration, hardware and deployment
Coating and calendering PLCs over OPC UA, vision and inline CT systems, welders, formation equipment, robots and AGVs, plus MES, historians and identity providers.
Typically one Jetson Orin or IGX class node per line, sized during the assessment based on camera count and CT throughput.
Yes. The edge runtime operates fully offline, including the local API, with signed update bundles applied on your schedule.
Standard connectors are typically live within days. Legacy or vendor-specific controllers can take longer and are scoped explicitly before the pilot.
Data, IP and compliance
In your chosen region, on-premises, or fully air-gapped. In on-prem mode nothing leaves the site.
Not without explicit opt-in per model family. By default your data trains only your models, inside your tenant.
Type I is complete and Type II is in progress. [ASPIRATIONAL] The full status is in the security pack.
Only named site quality owners, and every change is recorded with the approver and timestamp.
Pricing, pilots and ROI
Line is $18,000 per line per month, Factory is $120,000 per month for whole-gigafactory autonomy, and Enterprise agreements typically range from $1M to $15M ACV.
No. Pilots are paid because they require connector work, hardware and engineering from both sides. Pilot fees are creditable against the first annual term.
Yes, for measurable workflows such as first-pass yield, scrap and formation cost, alongside a base subscription.
Under 14 months in modelled cases, driven overwhelmingly by recovered output rather than labour savings. [PLACEHOLDER]

Built for the assurance bar of battery manufacturing
Cell manufacturing is safety-critical and IP-dense. Anodela is designed so quality, IT/OT and EHS approvers can say yes.
IP & recipe protection
Chemistry, coat-weight and formation recipes stay in your tenant. Optional fully on-prem deployment with no egress.
Assurance-grade audit trail
Every perception, proposal, approval and executed setpoint change is immutably logged for IATF 16949 and IEC 62660 evidence.
Data residency
EU, US, Korea, Japan and China-domestic regions, or air-gapped factory edge for sovereign programs.
Connected to the systems your line already runs on
Pre-built OT and API connectors read process, vision, X-ray/CT, formation and MES data — and write bounded setpoints back. Nothing rips and replaces; Anodela runs alongside the equipment you have qualified.

From teams who asked the same questions
“We were stranded at 63% first-pass yield for five months. Anodela ran in shadow for six weeks, then took bounded control of coat weight and drying. We crossed 91% in the next quarter.”
“It reads our CT and vision streams the way a great process engineer does — except it does it on every metre of web, on every shift, and it writes the correction back before the defect becomes scrap.”
“The audit trail was what got quality to yes. Every proposal, approval and executed setpoint is linked to cell genealogy, so our IATF evidence got stronger, not weaker.”
