Pilot Program · Assessment Sprint

Find out where your production line wastes energy — in 10 working days.

virtauto analyzes selected energy windows on one production line and shows when load reduction is operationally safe — and when it is not. Read-only. No IT project. No production intervention.

Read-only BIW · Bodyshop Decision Trace Governance-first 10 Working Days

Most factories have energy data. Few have decision logic.

Energy dashboards show consumption. Production systems show cycle status. But they rarely answer the operational question that matters: Can we reduce load now without risking quality, takt or stability?

Visibility problem
Dashboards inform, but do not decide.

They show peaks, but not whether an intervention is admissible.

Governance problem
Optimization without boundaries creates risk.

Quality gates, protected stations and responsibility must be explicit.

virtauto approach
Signals → admissibility → recommendation.

Every output is bounded, explainable and reviewable.

Decision outcome
ALLOW, HOLD or BLOCK.

No recommendation without reasoning and trace.

The Assessment Sprint

The Assessment Sprint is the smallest useful entry point: one line, one use case, selected energy windows, clear output.

02
6-Week Pilot
Advisory mode · read-only deployment

A bounded Decision Layer on one selected production line with weekly advisory output and operator review.

  • Read-only signal connection

On request · after successful pilot

10 working days. Clear output. Low risk.

Days 1–3
Scoping and context mapping
Define line, signals, constraints and target decision window.
Days 4–5
Data and evidence posture
Review energy data, cycle posture, buffer state and quality signals.
Days 6–8
Decision analysis
Run admissibility checks and identify safe energy reduction windows.
Days 9–10
Decision Report
Deliver report, trace, savings estimate and pilot recommendation.

What we need. What you get.

Input
  • Energy consumption data
  • Line or cycle status
  • Buffer information
  • Quality gate posture
  • Short context call with production or energy lead
Output
  • Advisory Report, 4–6 pages
  • Decision Trace
  • Estimated savings potential
  • Governance logic
  • Pilot recommendation
What we do not do
  • No write access
  • No MES or PLC intervention
  • No black-box recommendation
  • No autonomous execution
What we guarantee
  • HOLD if evidence is insufficient
  • BLOCK if constraints are violated
  • Every recommendation is reviewable
  • Every output includes reasoning

Bounded. Explainable. Safe by default.

virtauto does not optimize blindly. It checks whether optimization is allowed under current operational conditions.

Decision Contract — Admissibility Rules
  • Advisory-only. No autonomous execution.
  • Default HOLD when evidence is missing or stale.
  • Protected stations cannot be delayed.
  • Quality and cycle stability take precedence over cost savings.
  • Every recommendation is limited to one line and one time window.
  • Operator or production lead review is required before action.

Request an Assessment Sprint.

First conversations take 30 minutes. We jointly assess whether an Assessment Sprint makes sense for your line.

Start with one line, one use case, one decision window.

Send a short request and we will respond with a concrete proposal for an initial conversation.
