Melio combines approved camera, PLC, SCADA, and sensor data to surface quality drift, emerging equipment issues, and changeover opportunities. Operators authorize higher-risk actions; the PLC remains the deterministic control layer.
Start with one workflow and one measurable KPI. Expand only after the recommendation and approval path is proven on your line.
Inspect the current lot and review the station-three threshold before the next run.
Illustrative control flow
Your existing controls execute reliably. Melio adds context across the signals and operating knowledge that fixed rules evaluate separately.
Correlate vision results, process values, and operator observations instead of waiting for a single threshold to fail.
Combine equipment condition, operating state, and maintenance history to prioritize the signal that deserves attention.
Translate approved recipes, SOPs, and prior runs into a versioned change proposal that operators can verify.
Melio ingests only approved data sources, evaluates a recommendation against customer-defined rules, and routes the result through the required authorization path.
Correlates the approved inputs into one operating context.
Applies versioned rules and customer-defined risk thresholds.
Tests a change against accepted examples before release.
Preserves the inputs, recommendation, approval, and outcome.
Safety-rated I/O and interlocks remain outside the model path.
A pilot is scoped around one line problem, the controls already in place, and one acceptance metric your team agrees on up front.
Inventory the controllers, signals, operating rules, approval roles, and baseline performance that define the workflow today.
Connect approved read-only data, establish the baseline, and evaluate recommendations without changing production.
Compare proposals with accepted outcomes, tune risk thresholds, and document the authorization path with the people who run the cell.
Enable only the agreed action path, monitor the pilot KPI, and preserve a clear rollback to the original operating state.
Melio is designed to support the plant's existing safety, security, change-management, and operator-authorization processes.
PLC logic, interlocks, and safety systems remain the source of truth for real-time control.
Customer-defined thresholds determine which outputs are informational and which require authorization.
Inputs, model version, policy result, approver, and action are recorded for review.
Data boundaries and hosting are scoped with the customer's OT and security teams.
It does not replace safety systems, silently rewrite ladder logic, or pool a customer's process data into another customer's deployment.
Tell us the line, the current controls, and the metric you need to improve. We’ll review the fit and propose a focused pilot scope.
If the workflow is not a strong fit for Melio, we’ll say so directly.
Thank you. We’ll review the line context and follow up with a focused technical response.
