Kilnex
Kiln firing control that holds temperature curves on profile.
Ceramics & Sanitaryware
Porcelio
Autonomous operations layer for ceramics, tile and sanitaryware production — stable firing, on-tone and on-caliber pieces, fewer defects, less energy.
Overview
What Porcelio does.
Porcelio runs ceramics, tile and sanitaryware production: kiln firing control, defect vision, robotic glazing and decoration, energy optimisation and tone and caliber robotic sorting.
Every kiln deployment produces labelled firing and defect traces that train the next model, tightening the loop from body to finished piece.

Products
One loop, module by module.
Every deployment on porcelio.com writes labelled traces back into the model, so the system generalises across plants, alloys, grades and geometries.
Vitreo
Defect vision across glaze, body and fired piece.
Glazio
Robotic glazing and decoration.
Thermiq
Firing and energy optimisation.
Sortiq
Tone and caliber robotic sorting.
Why we invested
The thesis behind Porcelio.
Tile and sanitaryware is a high-volume, high-energy business where a kiln drift ruins a whole shift and sorting still runs on human eyes. Tone and caliber are judged on the line, at speed, against a batch standard.
Porcelio encodes the standard. The buyer is a ceramics manufacturer paying in hard currency; the wedge is one kiln or one sorting step, and first-quality yield is the number that opens the next module.
