Everything we know, written down
Assessment guides, process whitepapers, pilot playbooks, technical references and an ROI model. Written for plant directors, quality leads and process engineers rather than for search engines.
Written for
Start here
The tire plant autonomy readiness assessment
Guide
A 24-point self-assessment across sensing coverage, data availability, system integration and change-control maturity, with a scoring rubric.
From sampled audits to per-component measurement
Whitepaper
The economics of detection lag in tire building, with a model you can run against your own scrap and rework numbers.
Cure-state control and the energy pad
Whitepaper
How fixed cure recipes carry an inherent safety margin, and what an estimated-state approach recovers in cycle time and energy.
Running a 90-day autonomy pilot
Playbook
Baselining method, metric selection, gate criteria, override review cadence and how to structure the go / no-go decision.
The control envelope specification
Reference
Field-by-field reference for the safety contract: limits, rates, interlocks, risk classes, signatures and versioning.
Genealogy data model
Reference
Entity and relationship reference for compound batch, component, build, cure, inspection and grade linkage.
Checklists and models
IATF 16949 evidence mapping
Checklist
Which clauses the Treadum evidence chain supports directly, which it assists, and which stay with your quality system.
OT security review pack index
Checklist
Everything a plant IT/OT team typically asks for, and where each item lives in our security documentation.
Pilot ROI model
Calculator
A spreadsheet model for scrap, rework, energy, throughput and warranty impact, with conservative and aggressive scenarios.
The autonomy readiness assessment
Score your plant before anyone sells you anything
Four dimensions, six questions each, scored zero to three. It tells you which wedge is realistic first, what sensing you are missing, and whether your change-control process can absorb bounded autonomy at all.
- Sensing coverage — what is measured, at what rate, and stored where
- Data linkage — can you connect a graded tire back to a compound batch
- System integration — MES, historian, PLC and inspection accessibility
- Change control — who can approve a setpoint change, and how fast
Which resource to read when
Readiness assessment + detection economics whitepaper
Establish whether the problem is worth solving at your plant and which process has the most recoverable value.
ROI model + cure-state whitepaper
Put numbers against scrap, energy, throughput and warranty using your own baseline.
Pilot playbook
Structure the 90 days: baseline, metric, gates, override reviews and the go / no-go decision.
Envelope specification + security pack index
Give safety and IT/OT teams what they need before the technical review meeting rather than during it.
Genealogy data model + IATF evidence mapping
Align your quality and data teams on what the runtime will produce and how it maps to your existing system.
How the library is organized
Never gated
The envelope specification, genealogy data model and API references are available to anyone evaluating us. Gating technical documentation behind a form is a tax on the people who most deserve to read it.
Practitioner-first
Written by engineers who have run the assessment on real floors, not by a content team.
Method included
Every number comes with how it was measured, over what period and with which caveats.
Operational
Meeting cadences, roles, decision rights and templates you can actually run.
Yours to keep
Spreadsheet models you can edit, audit and take into a CFO conversation without us in the room.

How teams use the library
“We had three people watching X-ray images and still shipped uniformity rejects. Treadum flagged the cord shift at the building drum, not four hours later at final inspection.”
“The cure agent found 40 seconds of margin on a construction we had run the same way for eleven years. It proved it in shadow mode before it touched a press.”
“Genealogy is the part I did not expect to care about. Every tire now has a linked record from batch to grade, and audit prep went from weeks to an afternoon.”
[PLACEHOLDER] Design-partner quotes are illustrative until pilot references are published.
About the library
No. Ask for what you want and it is sent. If you want a conversation afterwards, you will ask for it.
Yes. They are written to be circulated to quality, process, IT and finance teams inside a plant or group.
They ship with conservative defaults and every assumption is editable and labelled. You should stress-test them against your own numbers.
They are updated as the product ships and as design-partner results become publishable. Anything not yet validated is marked [ASPIRATIONAL] inside the document.
Put one cell on autonomy in 90 days
Pick one wedge — splice inspection, X-ray defect detection, cure-state optimization or uniformity prediction. We baseline it, run shadow mode, then graduate to bounded autonomy under a signed control envelope.
Pilots start in shadow mode. No line changes until accuracy and safety gates pass.
