Evidence cheap enough for a QR code.
Manual verification cannot sit inside a low-margin consumer product. Autograde connects industrial telemetry to a deterministic evidence pipeline, producing batch records at ¥2–5 each — with no human issuing every label.
Telemetry in. A bounded evidence record out.
Automation changes production cost, not the rules. Unsupported records still abstain.
PLC / SCADA input
Energy, flow, runtime, output and calibration events arrive through signed gateway messages.
Canonical telemetry
Clock, units, missing intervals and meter identity are normalised before any footprint is computed.
Deterministic rules
Boundary, factors, allocation and metred share execute under one versioned method.
Commit and serve QR
SHA-256 commitment, public anchor, revocation slot and a product-ready verification URL.
Automation is the only route to unit-price evidence
A fast-moving consumer product cannot carry ¥40–80 of evidence cost per small batch. Autograde is designed for high-volume, stable production environments where telemetry already exists.
| Automated batch record | ¥2–5 / batch |
| SKU / annual volume plan | Quoted by volume |
| Gateway integration | One-off scoped fee |
| Public QR verification | Included |
| Human technical review | Sampled / exception-based |
Automation does not mean automatic approval
Missing intervals, stale calibration, inconsistent output or an unapproved factor source produces ABSTAIN. No label is issued. The exception enters the review queue with the exact failed rule.
Where Autograde belongs
Stable, instrumented production. Not a substitute for measuring an uninstrumented supply chain.
- Controlled-environment agriculture and nurseries
- Continuous food, beverage and industrial production
- High-volume SKUs with repeat boundaries
- Retailers requiring QR-accessible product evidence
- Invoice-only energy data
- Unstable product boundaries or untracked batch mixing
- Uncalibrated meters and unverifiable clock histories
- A request to convert self-declaration into certification
