AlisQI
AlisQI is a cloud-based Quality Management platform built for process and batch manufacturers who want to move beyond reactive firefighting toward stable, predictable operations while maintaining full compliance control.
Rather than organizing quality around static documents and isolated events, AlisQI was designed as a data-first system. Quality, laboratory, and production data are structured and connected in a shared operational backbone. This gives cross-functional teams early visibility into deviations, faster response times, and greater confidence in product integrity and daily execution.
The platform combines configurable quality modules, including document control, training, deviations, CAPA, audits, risk management, supplier quality, SPC, and EHS, with targeted, ready-to-use Solvers. Solvers integrate forms, workflows, dashboards, and business logic to address specific operational problems without unnecessary scope.
Because the system is built on structured data, manufacturers can apply practical AI within workflows, from automated COA extraction to conversational access to quality data and pattern detection across incidents.
Solvers are production-ready from day one and evolve as processes, products, or plants change. This progression does not require custom development or disruptive IT projects.
Manufacturers use AlisQI to harmonize quality practices across sites, reduce waste and rework, strengthen audit readiness, accelerate root cause analysis, and connect shop-floor and lab data directly to quality decision-making across industries including chemicals, plastics, packaging, food and beverage, personal care, automotive, and industrial manufacturing.

COLUMBO
A closed-loop universal multivariable optimizer is designed to enhance both the performance and quality of Model Predictive Control (MPC) systems. This optimizer utilizes data from Excel files sourced from Dynamic Matrix Control (DMC) by Aspen Tech, Robust Model Predictive Control Technology (RMPCT) from Honeywell, or Predict Pro from Emerson to develop and refine accurate models for various multivariable-controller variable (MV-CV) pairs. This innovative optimization technology eliminates the need for step tests typically required by Aspen Tech and Honeywell, operating entirely within the time domain while remaining user-friendly, compact, and efficient. Given that Model Predictive Controls (MPC) can encompass tens or even hundreds of dynamic models, the possibility of incorrect models is a significant concern. The presence of inaccurate dynamic models in MPCs leads to bias, which is identified as model prediction error, manifesting as discrepancies between predicted signals and actual measurements from sensors. COLUMBO serves as a powerful tool to enhance the accuracy of Model Predictive Control (MPC) models, effectively utilizing either open-loop or fully closed-loop data to ensure optimal performance. By addressing the potential for errors in dynamic models, COLUMBO aims to significantly improve overall control system effectiveness.
