A Line subscription is justified from verified savings or avoided risk on one line: retints and colorant, re-mills and mill energy, solvent and additions at let-down, or contamination and fill rejects. We would rather you started with one line and one number than with a plant-wide program nobody can baseline.
Illustrative scenario: Plant run · one architectural deep tint base from dosing to pallet · bead mill, let-down tank, tint station, filling line. Not a measured run.
Land on one workflow with a measured baseline. Expand by line, module, site and autonomy stage. Outcome components available on yield, rework, waste, solvent and energy.
Dispersion, tinting or color-control AI, or inspection AI, for one line. For coatings makers validating ROI on the wedge.
The whole plant: dose and disperse, let-down and thin, tint and color, filter and fill, defect and inspect, quality and rheology, yield and takt, robotic handling and the Coatwin twin.
Coatings groups standardizing on Tinteon across sites, with custom formula, color and tolerance models.
A 15 to 20% discount for annual prepayment.
Enterprise agreements with usage ramps.
A share of measured yield, rework, waste, solvent or energy improvement on the highest-value workflows.
Per-batch, per-line or per-action metering above plan limits.

Every Tinteon run is an ordered, inspectable sequence. This is run_scn_01, an illustrative scenario: Plant run · one architectural deep tint base from dosing to pallet · bead mill, let-down tank, tint station, filling line. Scenario complete · batch inside spec · one human approval at the tint station.
Plant Orchestrator · Pulled the formula, the customer color standard and its tolerance, the viscosity and solids spec, the raw-material lot records and the product's VOC limit from the coatings MES and the lab system; locked the target envelope for the run.
Plant Orchestrator · Simulated 24 candidate dispersion, let-down and tint paths on the Coatwin as-made twin; ranked them on predicted Delta-E, fineness margin, viscosity, solvent use, energy and takt, and discarded every candidate that moved outside the customer tolerance or the VOC limit.
Dose-and-Disperse · Held mill energy, media temperature and residence to the predicted fineness curve from mill power and spectral reflectance, trimming inside the formula window instead of grinding to a fixed time and checking the Hegman gauge afterward.
Letdown-and-Thin · Predicted viscosity from inline rheology, temperature and solids during let-down and converged on spec with two resin additions and one solvent addition instead of the standing four, inside the formula window; no stability risk was flagged.
Tint-and-Color · Read the batch's spectral curve against the customer standard, predicted the colorant additions and dosed the first pass; the draw-down read inside tolerance on Delta-E after one addition, with one retint still available under the declared limit.
Defect-and-Inspect · 12 camera and spectral streams at the plant edge: color, gloss, hiding power, fineness and seed checks on the batch, fill-weight and label checks on every pail; two seeds were attributed to one filter cartridge and Filter-and-Fill scheduled the change.
Plant Orchestrator · The lowest-solvent candidate wanted a second colorant addition beyond the declared retint limit to tighten Delta-E further. Held for the shift color-matcher, who kept the customer tolerance untouched and approved one bounded addition with a tighter draw-down check.
Filter-and-Fill · Filtered through the fresh cartridge and filled pails to exact weight using fill-weight and foam feedback from inspection; the filler corrected upstream instead of rejecting downstream.
Robot-and-Handling · Moved filled pails to the pallet inside the declared safety zone with a simulation-validated handling policy; one pallet-pattern change was executed after the zone check cleared.
Quality-and-Conformance · Batch released: raw-material lots, grind profile, let-down moves, colorant additions and spectral curves, inspection outcomes, VOC and solvent use and every human decision written to the batch genealogy and checked against spec.
Low-friction entry on a single dispersion, tinting or filling line with a hard re-tint, re-mill or waste metric, or a paid pilot tied to it.
Adjacent agents in the same plant, then the Plant tier, then multi-site enterprise agreements with plant-edge fleet management and custom formula, color and tolerance models.
Per-batch, per-line or per-action metering above plan limits, and a share of measured yield, rework, waste, solvent or energy improvement on the highest-value workflows.
Floor pricing is protected; discounts are traded for term length and case studies. Expansion is the primary growth engine.
The pilot KPI is chosen so the plant can baseline it from its own lab, spectrophotometer, meters and QA records before anything is connected.
| Wedge | Product | Number baselined | Source of the number |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tint and color match | Tintra | Delta-E first-time-right rate; retints and colorant per batch | Spectrophotometer, draw-down and QA records |

Tinteon is recruiting three to five design partners for the first cohort. These are the coatings types the products were designed around and where each would start.
Tint bases, in-plant tinting and endless color variety. Starting wedge: Tintra on one tint line or Dispex on one mill.
Tight Delta-E against customer standards and premium finishes. Starting wedge: Tintra, with Specton on gloss and color.
High-solids and waterborne systems where rheology decides application. Starting wedge: Rheon on a let-down line, Dispex on the mill.
Continuous color consistency across long runs. Starting wedge: Specton inline with Tintra on the tint station.
Dispersion and fineness without solvent. Starting wedge: Dispex, with Specton on fineness and color.
Frequent grade changes and demanding specs. Starting wedge: Coatwin for color and grade changes, Palleon on filling and handling.
Tinteon writes to production equipment in a chemical plant. Every capability is scoped, every write is policy-checked, every output is cited, and every action is written to an append-only audit log the plant owns.

Tinteon supports your quality and VOC records. It is not a certification and it does not replace your quality system or your permit.
The three people in a coatings plant whose week changes when the process runs itself, and what each of them needs from Tinteon.
Owns production rate, quality, rework and yield, waste, solvent and energy, and compliance. Wants a plant that holds color and spec at higher rate with fewer interventions, and a number that justifies the spend.
Owns formulas, dispersion, tint and color-match process windows and yield. Approves and corrects the agents in assist mode; those corrections train the models.
Owns product quality under ISO 9001 and customer color standards, color and contamination conformance, VOC and REACH compliance, and batch genealogy. Needs every action grounded, cited and written to an immutable record.
IT/OT and EHS leads approve the deployment. There are no customer quotes on this site yet; design partners will speak for themselves when they choose to.
One policy model, one audit trail and one set of yield, rework, waste, solvent, energy and color benchmarks across every plant in the group, with each site's formulas, color standards and tolerance models kept private to that site.
The questions plant directors, formulators, color-matchers and quality managers ask in the first meeting.
Only at the autonomy stage your plant has set, and only to an explicit allow-list of low-risk loops inside documented limits. Every design partner starts in shadow mode, where Tinteon predicts and writes nothing. Assist mode follows, where a formulator or color-matcher approves each recommendation. Bounded autonomy on dispersion, tinting and inspection loops comes after the quality and ROI gates agreed up front.
They are not optimization variables. The customer standard and its tolerance, the VOC and solvent limits under your permit and the batch release decision stay with your quality procedures and your people. Tinteon reads them, cites them and writes every reading to an immutable audit log attached to the batch genealogy. It is grounded in ISO 9001, VOC and REACH and customer color standards; it is not a certification and does not replace your quality system.
Tinteon sits above your existing automation as a supervisory layer. If it stops, the plant keeps running on its current mill, dispenser and filling-line control and the interlocks it already has. A Tinteon outage degrades the plant to the way it runs today, not to a stop.
The first phase is shadow mode on one line: Tinteon reads your spectrophotometer, mill and dispenser history, inline rheology, lab results and MES while you run the plant as usual, and we measure its predictions against your lab, your draw-downs and PLC outcomes. Recommendations start when accuracy is proven against that baseline, and improve as plant-specific history and color-matcher corrections accumulate.
Formulas, color standards, tolerance models and raw-material data are tenant-scoped and never used to train another customer's models. Retrieval is multi-tenant isolated and permission-aware. Cross-plant learning, where a customer opts in, is federated and IP-isolated. On-prem deployment is available for producers protecting sensitive formulas.
You are, the same as with any control strategy. That is why every write is policy-checked, bounded, logged and reversible, every output carries a citation to the formula, standard or procedure it relied on, and anything above your threshold waits for a named approver. The audit log records the request, the reasoning, the limits applied and the human decision.
As a design partner, on one line, with one hard metric: Delta-E first-time-right rate and retints, re-mills and mill energy, solvent per batch and viscosity variance, or contamination and fill rejects. We instrument the line in shadow mode, measure the baseline, move to assist mode when accuracy is proven, and expand only when the number holds.
Full multi-module autonomy across the whole plant, long-tail integrations beyond the design partners' stacks, and self-serve onboarding. The first release is one wedge workflow, its connectors, the agent loop with human checkpoints, the review console and the assurance-grade quality and VOC audit log.
Tell us the line and the number. We will tell you whether a pilot can baseline it.
