Put decades of extrusion expertise
behind every decision.
Intelligent Extrusion (IEx) combines knowledge from across the industry, your own production history, and physics-based modeling of your entire line - so you get it right the first time.
One platform, multiple tools
Every product runs on the same foundation: your presses, your data, your documents. Turn on just the products you need today.
The extrusion specialist that never leaves the plant.
ALEX reads what your plant already has, in whatever shape it is in: work instructions, equipment manuals, quality standards. Its working knowledge was written by lifelong extrusion experts and grounded in your organization's knowledge. The night shift gets the same answer as the day shift.
- Grounded Answers cite your documents, or are flagged as general knowledge
- Figures Pulls the actual chart or drawing from the source, inline
- Thorough Finds the answer whether it lives in a table, a figure, or a footnote
- Anywhere In IEx, or connected to the tools your team already works in
Find the recipe your press can actually run.
Recipe pairs extrusion physics with your own production history, running thousands of simulations against your equipment's actual limits. It shows you which setup wins on cost and throughput, with the process window to prove it.
- Physics Models how aluminum actually behaves under heat and pressure
- Calibrated Tuned to each of your presses from their own sensor data
- Constraints Identify the bottleneck - Press, furnace, finish saw, and your unique equipment all simulated together
- Scenarios Save, compare, and export the winning recipe
Quote from your real process, not last year's spreadsheet.
Every quote is costed from the same physics that runs your press: recovery, throughput, and metal for the actual profile on the actual equipment. You set the price. IEx makes sure you know the cost. Win the work you want, and know your numbers before you sign.
- Cost Cost every job on every press: recovery, rate, and metal in one number
- Consistent Every estimator quotes from the same playbook
- Fast Answer RFQs in minutes instead of days
- Recipe Every quote is priced from a recipe that can actually run on your presses
IncludedRegistry Explorer
Every press, die, billet, and alloy in one registry your whole plant can read.
IncludedDocument Intelligence
Every document read, indexed, and connected, from PDFs to Word files, figures and tables included, so answers are never buried in a binder.
The physics of extrusion is universal. Your plant is not.
IEx starts with a process model built for extrusion and nothing else, then calibrates it press by press against two things that no one else has: your production runs and the documents on your shelves.
Models tuned to your presses
Press traces, run records, and ERP orders. Split-second sensor data through years of order history.
Models calibrated to each of your presses from that press's own runs, so a simulated recipe behaves like your equipment instead of like a textbook.
A library ALEX can read and cite
Handbooks, process standards, equipment manuals, trial reports, and any industry papers you or we bring in.
Every page read, indexed, and connected, so an answer comes from your own library and points back to the document it came from.
Retire the binder. Keep the knowledge.
Most extrusion knowledge lives in a few heads and a wall of binders.
IEx puts it where your whole plant can use it, without losing an ounce of it.
Built by extrusion people.
Decades on plant floors and in engineering rooms, building the tool we always wanted.
No cleanup project. No IT army.
IEx starts from the records you already keep, in whatever shape they are in.
Bring your data as it is
Spreadsheets, ERP exports, scanned trial reports, die drawings. Messy is fine: it all counts.
We map it together
Our team organizes what you send and reviews it with you, so problems surface early instead of halfway through.
Turn on what you need
Start with the product that moves your numbers most. Add another later and there is no second setup: it already knows your presses and your history.

A short walkthrough of what IEx does, then the platform itself: ALEX answering from real documents, Recipe optimizing against real press limits. Nothing to prepare. You'll be talking to extrusion people, not a sales script.
