WE/Metabolism · The operating system for making
Self-driving operations for food manufacturers

Your plant runs itself.
Month-end is just another day.

Not an ERP you type into. Metis watches every machine, lot, pallet and drain, makes the routine calls with a receipt for each one, and brings a person only the decisions that need judgment.

How Metis decides

Every call it makes has the same five parts, and you can read all of them.

A decision in Metabolism is not a hidden rule firing. It is a record: what Metis noticed, what it checked, what it weighed, what it did, and how to undo it. Here is one from the preview, the filler bearing on Line 2.

01 · SENSE

It notices

A signal moves off its normal path before anyone would see it on a report.

Filler F-2 jaw bearing: vibration 4.1 mm/s and climbing 0.3 a shift.
02 · CHECK

It gathers evidence

It pulls what the plant already knows: history, parts, people, the schedule.

Same signature preceded the 14 Mar failure. Bearing in MRO-B12. Tech free Thursday.
03 · WEIGH

It weighs options

Each option is costed in the plant's own terms: cases, hours, dollars, risk.

Stop now: 410 cases late. Run to failure: 6.5 h down. Thursday changeover: 0 lost.
04 · ACT

It acts inside its limits

Within the authority the plant has given it, it does the work instead of filing a ticket.

PM-2214 moved into the 14:00 allergen changeover. Part reserved, tech assigned.
05 · RECEIPT

It leaves a receipt

What it did, why, how sure it was, and one click to reverse it.

Confidence 0.82 · reversible until Thu 13:30 · logged to the asset history.

What it brings to a person instead

  • Anything that releases food over a failed check
  • Overtime, hires, and other spend above its limit
  • A customer promise it would have to break
  • A judgment call where the evidence is split
Information, not data

It doesn't just store what happened. It tells you what to do about it.

A legacy ERP is a filing cabinet with a query language. WE/Metabolism runs on Metis, the same nervous system that runs our own brands. It acts on the routine and hands a person the sliver that needs judgment.

01

It names the one thing that matters

The surface opens on the decision in front of you, with the evidence and the suggested action, so nobody digs through menus to find it.

02

Every automation leaves a receipt

What Metis did, why, and how sure it was, reversible where it can be. Silence is earned with receipts, not secrecy.

03

Machines tell you before they fail

Vibration, temperature and run-hours become a forecast, and the fix lands in a changeover window instead of the middle of a run.

04

The warehouse is a picture, not a list

Every bin by fill, age, hold or allergen. Putaway and picking follow first-expired-first-out and allergen segregation on their own.

05

A positive swab starts the response

The vector swabs, the re-clean and the product hold are drafted in minutes and mapped on the floor plan, ring by ring.

06

A recall trace in under a second

FSMA-204 genealogy from raw lot to customer in one click, with a regulator-ready packet. Not a two-day spreadsheet dig.

07

The CRM fills itself in

Calls, emails, orders and sell-through land on the customer card on their own, and Metis reads them for the next step, the requirement and the price.

08

R&D formulates against the customer's words

Move an ingredient and the label, claims, allergens and cost move with it. Give Metis the targets and it solves for them.

09

One request, all the way through

A customer's ask becomes a project, a formula, a BOM and a first run without anyone re-typing it. Sales sees R&D's progress on the account.

Why it's not an ERP

Stop buying a filing cabinet. Buy an operator.

Stop asking which system stores your data best. Ask which system runs your operation while your team sleeps. Legacy ERP has no answer to that. WE/Metabolism has Metis.
