Operational procedures,
brought to life.

Vexum turns SOPs, test procedures, and work instructions into intelligent guided runs that adapt to the live context, capture deviations, and improve over time. Designed to keep the human in charge.

The problem

The SOP is static.
The work is not.

An SOP captures the expected path. But real execution depends on context: the tool being used, the job being run, the reading on the screen, the operator's judgment, the prior deviation, and the exception happening right now.

Vexum turns the procedure, the scattered context around it, and every decision made during execution into one guided run. Each run creates a record of what happened, what changed, and what should improve next time.

The product

Your procedures, running as they should.

Drop in an SOP, work instruction, or procedure. Vexum turns it into a guided run: routine checks are pre-filled, required actions are tracked, deviations are captured, and judgment calls surface with the context needed to decide.

Two of the last 11 runs on this tool reported delayed pressure stabilization. Current reading is within startup range, but the SOP requires staff notification if stabilization exceeds 5 minutes.
SOP says Wait for chamber pressure to stabilize. If it does not stabilize within 5 minutes, pause the run and notify facility staff.

Trust architecture

Automation removes effort.
Never accountability.

Every step in a Vexum run is one of three kinds. The split is explicit - the operator always knows what the system is doing versus what's theirs to decide.

Automated
Prepared
Assisted
Live
Automated

What's safe, the system does.

Deterministic steps (pulling run history, checking access, pre-filling context) execute before the operator reads the first instruction.

  • Pull prior run history
  • Check reservation, training & access
  • Pre-fill equipment or job context
  • Attach relevant SOPs, specs & manuals
Staging
Prepared

What's risky, the system stages.

Deviation notes, approval requests, and post-run records are drafted and staged. You review, edit, and sign off. Nothing is filed without your tap.

  • Draft deviation notes
  • Prepare staff approval requests
  • Stage inspection & validation records
  • Generate post-run documentation
Pending
Assisted

What's ambiguous, you decide.

Branching points and judgment calls surface with full context, the relevant SOP clause, and a confidence-scored recommendation. The call stays human.

  • Troubleshooting branches
  • Out-of-range readings
  • Deviation decisions
  • Escalation with captured reason
Built for

Built for procedures that branch, drift, and need proof.

Vexum fits the messy middle: work that is too important for memory, too contextual for a static SOP, and too judgment-heavy to fully automate.

Used by complex manufacturers, industrial equipment service teams, and analytical labs.

Testing & validation workflows
When a test, validation step, or equipment reading does not match the expected path, Vexum pulls the relevant procedure, specs, prior failures, and decision history so the technician knows what to check next. Common in medical device contract manufacturing, precision machining, made-to-order equipment manufacturing, and lab instrument production.

Core facility & shared instrument runs
Equipment startup, user onboarding, and tool qualification procedures, compiled once and run consistently by every operator, with access and training checks built in. Common in university shared instrumentation, analytical service labs, and contract research labs.

PrepLog run start, conditions & operator sign-off
Commissioning & startup runs
Startup, commissioning, and handoff procedures become guided runs that adapt to the asset, job, customer spec, and acceptance criteria. Vexum captures punch-list items, approvals, deviations, and final handoff records as the work happens. Common in made-to-order industrial equipment, custom machinery and automation, and field commissioning teams.

PrepGenerate commissioning record & handoff summary
Service & troubleshooting
When a service issue does not follow the manual, Vexum pulls the asset history, relevant procedure, prior fixes, and current readings so the technician knows what to check, when to escalate, and what to document. Common in HVAC and cooling service, lab instrument service, industrial equipment service, and medical imaging field operations.

Quality deviations
When a result, inspection, or process step falls outside spec, Vexum guides the disposition path, attaches evidence, captures the reason, and prepares the record for quality review. Common in medical device manufacturing, regulated contract manufacturing, and high-mix precision shops.

2 of 5 pilot spots still open.

We're working hands-on with a small group of teams to turn high-friction SOPs, test procedures, and work instructions into guided Vexum runs. If you have a procedure that should be easier to execute, document, and improve over time, apply for the pilot.
