Cutrix logo CutrixAutonomous distillation cut

The cut, made on spec, every single run.

The cut is the most valuable and most safety-critical call in the stillhouse, and it is still made largely by hand and nose. Cutrix estimates the heads, hearts, and tails boundary live and holds the hearts on character inside hard methanol limits.

What it does

Finds the boundary in real time

A few minutes or a degree too early or late gives you harsh, low-yield, or unsafe spirit, and the right cut point drifts with the wash, the still, and the weather. Cutrix reads the run continuously and estimates where the heads end and the tails begin, run after run.

  • Estimates the heads, hearts, and tails boundary from telemetry and inline spectra.
  • Holds the hearts on character while staying inside hard methanol and safety limits.
  • Maximizes yield without pushing feints into the spirit.

How it works

Control with the brakes built in

Cutrix ingests Fermion's characterized wash and Nosera's inline readings alongside still telemetry, then controls reflux, heat, and cut timing. Safety limits are hard constraints, not suggestions. The distillery twin can rehearse a cut before the still fires.

  • Cut-state estimation from multivariate telemetry and spectra.
  • Reflux, heat, and timing control tuned for yield inside safety bounds.
  • Per-distiller craft memory that captures the calls your team approves.

Autonomy, on your terms

  • Shadow mode reads the run and shows the boundary it sees.
  • Assist mode recommends the cut for the operator to confirm.
  • Bounded autonomy acts inside hard methanol and quality limits.

Capabilities

The craft of the cut, encoded and auditable

Cut-state estimator

Reads the evolving heads, hearts, and tails boundary from live telemetry and spectra.

Safety guardrails

Predicts and enforces methanol and safety limits as hard constraints on every run.

Yield optimization

Pushes for hearts recovery without letting feints reach the spirit.

Craft memory

Captures the cut decisions each distiller approves so the house style carries forward.

Release-grade audit

Writes an immutable trail for quality release and excise and safety review.

Inside the stack

The anchor of the stack

Cutrix sits at the center of Caskent. It consumes Fermion's wash and Nosera's live sensing, makes the call that most determines quality and yield, then hands the fill chemistry to Caskora so maturation starts from a known point. The more stills run on it, the better its read of every cut across the fleet.

Questions

Common questions

How does it keep spirit safe?

Methanol and safety limits are hard constraints. Cutrix will hold the cut inside them even when that means leaving some yield on the table, and it logs every decision.

Does it replace our master distiller?

No. It captures and scales the calls your distillers approve. They set the house style and the limits, and Cutrix holds to them run after run.

Pot still or column?

Both. Cutrix works across pot and column stills for whisky, vodka, gin, rum, tequila, and brandy.

Hold the hearts on spec, every run.
