◈ Manufacturing

Run the simulation.
Inspect every part.
Pay by the second.

Manufacturers use compute in bursts: a simulation before a design freeze, a retraining run for a vision model, a planning job at the end of the month. Paying for that capacity all year is wasteful, and paying the leading cloud on-demand for it is expensive. Compute bills GPUs and CPUs by the second at 30% under the leading cloud for the same hardware.

Used by single-site manufacturers, multi-plant groups and Fortune 500 industrials.

What holds true here

Four things you stop arguing about

◆

Burst capacity, fairly priced

H100, A100 and L40S instances at 30% under the leading cloud on-demand, billed by the second for the length of the run.

◇

Telemetry with somewhere to go

Cloud Services queues take readings from the floor; CosmoBase keeps them for analysis.

◈

Every change on record

Control logic, models and configuration in CodeGraph, with a history of who changed what and when.

○

Planning that fits the month

Run the big planning job on large CPU instances when it is needed, then stop paying for them.

The shift

Compute becomes a variable cost, like the work it supports

Manufacturing has long understood that capacity sitting idle is cost without output. The same discipline applies to computing. Per-second billing at a lower price means engineering and quality teams can use as much as a problem needs, then hand it back.

The usual arrangement
  • ✕On-premises clusters sized for the biggest simulation
  • ✕Vision models retrained only when someone insists
  • ✕Telemetry collected but rarely analysed
  • ✕Plants with their own, unconnected systems
  • ✕Cloud spend that is hard to tie to production
What replaces it
  • ✓GPU capacity hired by the second, under the leading cloud prices
  • ✓Retraining as an ordinary, scheduled task
  • ✓Readings that land somewhere queryable
  • ✓Plants on one platform, separated by project
  • ✓Spend itemised by plant, line or programme

Manufacturing, specifically

The simulation that no longer waits for a slot

Engineering teams queue for shared clusters, and design decisions get made on the analyses that happened to fit. With GPU and CPU instances available by the second at 30% under the leading cloud on-demand, the question changes from whether there is capacity to whether the answer is worth the cost — and that cost is published before the run starts.

Inspect every part

Vision models trained on GPU instances and served on L40S, so quality checks cover the line rather than a sample.

Maintenance before failure

Predictive models over machine telemetry, retrained as often as the data warrants.

Suppliers on the same page

Supplier portals hosted on Panel with access granted and recorded per organisation.

Documentation that keeps up

Work instructions and engineering records versioned in CodeGraph alongside the systems they describe.

Questions we are actually asked

Answers without the hedging

Can plant systems stay on-site?+

Yes. Control systems usually stay where they are. Compute takes the data, analysis, simulation and planning work that benefits from capacity on demand.

How do we keep plants and business units separate?+

Each plant or business unit can be its own project, with its own access, data and itemised costs, separated as a configured property.

Do you meet our sector’s security requirements?+

Access records, separation and residency are configured properties of your account. For a specific standard or attestation, ask us directly and we will tell you plainly whether we hold it today.

What does a single simulation run cost?+

The per-second price of the instance multiplied by the length of the run. Every instance price is published with the leading cloud’s price for the same hardware beside it.

Where else this goes

AI Agents

Run agents, the tools they call and the models behind them on one platform, billed by the token and the second, for less than the same work costs on the leading cloud.

Customer Acquisition

Host the landing pages, attribution pipelines and onboarding flows that bring customers in, and spend less on the infrastructure than you would on the leading cloud.

Marketing

Run campaign sites, personalisation, content pipelines and marketing data on one platform that costs less than the leading cloud for the same machines and models.

Lead Generation

Run the forms, enrichment jobs, scoring models and routing that turn interest into leads, for less than the same infrastructure costs on the leading cloud.

Sales

Run CRMs, sales data, call analysis and AI assistants on one platform, priced under the leading cloud for the same machines, databases and models.

Creator Economy

Host creator platforms, media processing, storefronts and AI tools on infrastructure that bills by the second and costs less than the leading cloud for the same machines.

Start where it matters most

Begin with one workload. Keep what you have running. Decide whether to continue once you have seen it carry something real.

No migration required to begin. Nothing to tear down if you stop.
