Do I need to replace my equipment to use the Aimirim platform?

No. Our technology is hardware-agnostic. Through the Aimirim Edge Gateway, we interface with virtually any PLC on the market (e.g., Siemens, Rockwell, Schneider, ABB, WEG) and various industrial protocols such as OPC-UA, Modbus, Snap7, and many others, regardless of the age of your equipment fleet, including legacy machines.

How does the pre-contract ROI forecast work?

Our team maps your current infrastructure, analyzes the available process data, and calculates an estimated yield improvement based on the actual behavior of your operation. You receive this projection prior to signing any contract.

Is there a minimum size requirement for my facility?

We serve industries of all sizes, starting from 5 equipment units. The minimum technical requirement is having operational PLCs or electrical signals that we can monitor.

Do Saripe PIMS and MES truly offer unlimited tags?

Yes. Unlike traditional PIMS and MES systems that charge per monitored variable (tag), Saripe PIMS and MES were architected for scalability. You can monitor 1,000 or 100,000 variables without increasing your license cost.

How long does it take to start visualizing my plant data?

Unlike legacy systems that can take months, our deployment is focused on agility. On average, within 2 weeks of installing the Gateway, you will achieve complete visibility of your OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness).

What happens if the plant's internet connection drops?

Operations are not interrupted. Arandu runs 100% locally on the Edge Gateway. Control decisions and setpoint calculations do not depend on cloud connectivity or network latency.

Is it safe to allow the AI to write setpoints directly to my PLC?

Yes, the system features a triple-layer, global-standard security architecture. The AI operates strictly within the physical constraints defined by your engineering team. In the event of any process instability, the system decouples, and the original PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) control safely assumes command.

Do I need an in-house IT team or Data Scientists?

No. Aimirim delivers an end-to-end solution. Our methodology handles all data modeling and AI calibration. Your team can focus solely on executing decisions based on the generated insights.
