Product Overview

MOLI consists of:

1. A web-based administrative dashboard for configuration, content authoring, and reporting.
2. A network of touchscreen kiosks deployed at workcenters, entrances, and other points of activity on the production floor.
3. Digital signage displays for facility-wide awareness.
4. Integrations with ERP, MES, QMS, document management, machine, and identity systems.
5. Implementation services: the guided process of configuring and deploying MOLI for a specific customer's processes and compliance requirements.
6. Training services: development and delivery of a training plan covering all key MOLI features for all key personnel.

Every MOLI deployment is dedicated to one customer on its own server: no shared infrastructure, no shared tenants. Deployments run on Amazon Web Services with daily backups to a separate region and 24×7×365 uptime monitoring with human escalation. Typical time to go live is four to six weeks; a pilot is live in thirty days.

MOLI: Multi-Operation Lean Intelligence

advanced production floor systems for regulated and contract manufacturers

Initial Pilot Deployment in 6–8 weeks. Layers with and augments your existing systems — not a rip-and-replace project.

Less administration. More manufacturing.

Paper travelers, binder instructions, and manual sign-off sheets got you here. They work — until they don't, and when they don't, the cost shows up in your yield, your audit, or your customer relationship.

MOLI replaces the whole stack with a network of industrial touchscreen kiosks managed from a web dashboard: the right information, to the right person, at the right machine — automatically — integrated.

• 89% — Compliance burden reduction
• 35% — Operator productivity gain
• 60% — Faster issue resolution

What MOLI does

Electronic Work Instructions

Role-specific, revision-controlled EWI delivered to each person at each machine. Text, photos, video.

Automatic competency verification and skill assessment.

Smart Forms & Data Capture

MOLI knows who you are, where you are, what job is loaded, and what time it is —

so the form only asks for the data.

Training & Skill Matrix

Assessments with configurable pass thresholds.

Verifiable training records with e-signatures and photos.

Escalations & Alerting

Every kiosk has a HELP button. One press routes the issue to supervisors via email, SMS, voice call, or

overhead page.

Audit-Ready by Default

Every change, everywhere, is logged: what, who, when, from where.

Detailed records surface instantly.

Digital Signage

Displays across the facility rotate through production and training status, escalations, and attendance — plus weather, transit, and public emergency alerts.

ERP / MRP Integration

Bidirectional sync with

on-premises and cloud-based systems.

Machine & Device Intelligence

Integrations with primary machines via API / MES and directly-attached RS-232/USB serial devices.

Security & Identity

Dedicated cloud deployment per customer —

never multi-tenant.

MOLI is a force multiplier

• Cuts costs, reduces mistakes, eliminates data re-entry
• Makes audits take less time while reducing audit findings
• Brings together information from multiple sources in one place
• Makes your team more efficient at communication, documentation, and training — and improves situational awareness
• Works alongside your ERP — not instead of it
• Works alongside your QMS — feeds it structured data
• Works alongside your MES — fills the gaps it leaves on the floor
• Open APIs, Integrations, and Exports — nothing is locked in
• Dedicated cloud deployment — not a shared-tenant SaaS
• MOLI Pilot Program: 30 day buildout + 90 days of results in part of your facility — plus a full staged rollout plan

MOLI is built for

Hardware partners: Elo, Zebra, and Ergotron.

• Contract manufacturers with

25–500 employees

• ISO 9001 certified
• Multi-shift or legacy operations —

where tribal knowledge is a liability

• Injection molding, CNC, assembly, optics, additive, chemical/pharma
• Facilities with customer audits, high product mix, or ITAR obligations

The ROI Lands Fast If a single audit finding costs you a corrective action, a customer relationship, or a certification cycle — MOLI pays for itself. A 35% productivity gain 90 days of go-live. 100%

Deployment, Pilot Program, and Services

Each production location is one MOLI deployment. Licensing is per workcenter or machine, so the price scales with the size of the floor. Platform updates are scheduled around each customer's production calendar and existing shutdown periods.

MOLI Pilot Program

build · run · prove · deploy

Start at your most pressing workcenters. Scale when the results prove it.

30 Days to Build. 90 Days to Prove.

A MOLI Pilot Program is a structured, all-inclusive engagement that gets MOLI running at a focused set of workcenters — and runs it long enough to generate real ROI and operational data that's yours to keep.

We identify your most pressing quality and production issues, address them first, and then build on our results to justify and plan a full rollout.

How It Works

Every MOLI Pilot follows a similar two-phase structure, adapted to your operation:

• 30 Days: Build — Discovery · Configure · Commission
• 90 Days: Run — Operate · Measure · Iterate

During the

Build Phase

During the

Run Phase

What's Included

• Implementation Consulting.
• MOLI Software License.
• Training.
• Pilot Support.
• Pilot Hardware Loan.
• Priority Integration.

Pilot Fee Applied in Full to Your Rollout. The entire cost of the Pilot Program is credited toward your full MOLI deployment. The Pilot Fee is a down payment on an outcome.

Funding Opportunities

Manufacturing productivity and top-line growth technology adoption projects frequently qualify for grant funding through state, federal, and local programs. A MOLI Pilot Program is well-positioned: a scoped engagement with defined deliverables, clear ROI objectives, and measurable outcomes.

• MEP (Manufacturing Extension Partnership)

FuzeHub

NextCorps

TDO

• State Workforce and Technology Programs
• What Qualifies

40–60% of Pilot Costs Are Frequently Reimbursable. Perdix Software will work with you to identify applicable programs and prepare the supporting documentation.

Typical Pilot Engagement

Pilot Programs are priced by the number of workcenters included in the pilot scope and the length of the pilot.

The example below is a common starting point:

• 5 Workcenters — Pilot Scope
• $12,500 — All-Inclusive MSRP
• 120 Days — 30 Build + 90 Run

The Pilot Fee includes consulting, implementation, licensing, hardware loan, integrations, training, and support for the full Pilot Engagement, and is credited in full toward a Full MOLI Deployment.

Scaled to Your Operation. Pilots covering more workcenters, additional shifts, or specialized integrations are scoped and priced per engagement.

Association Members Can Save Up to 15%. Active members of BNMA, LifeSciencesNY, MACNY, NextCorps, and RTMA receive up to 15% off applicable MOLI Pilot Fees.

Implementation Consulting and Deployment

Discovery · Configuration · Commissioning

Your current processes are the starting point. A better version of them is the destination.

Digitalization. Not Just Digitization.

Scanning your work instructions into a PDF is digitization.

Rebuilding them as live, interactive, version-controlled documents that guide operators step by step, capture data at each stage, and trigger notifications when something isn't right — that is digitalization.

Implementation Services exist to adapt your process to the digital medium. Your current processes — the documented ones and the ones that live in people's heads — become the blueprint for your MOLI deployment.

MOLI Implementation Services Include

• Discovery.
• Template Development.
• Workflow Configuration.
• Integration Wiring.
• Commissioning & Go-Live.

Your Process. Your Deployment. Your MOLI System. No two MOLI deployments are configured identically, because no two manufacturing operations are identical. Implementation is not a configuration checklist — it is a translation. We learn how your plant works, then build the version of MOLI that fits it.

PDF: https://www.perdixsw.com/literature/sheets/moli/services-implementation/pdf/

Training Services

Train-the-Trainer · On-Site · On-Camera

Software you don't know how to use is not an asset. It is an expensive reminder to call us.

Close the gap between “installed” and “understood”.

Perdix Software delivers MOLI training however your organization learns best.

The most common delivery model is train-the-trainer: Perdix trains your designated internal trainers, who carry that knowledge into your shifts. It is efficient, sustainable, and puts ownership of MOLI knowledge inside your operation — not dependent on us.

Other models supplement or burst training as needed.

Training Delivery Models

• Train-the-Trainer.
• Direct Operator Training.
• Administrator & Configuration Training.
• Shadowing.
• Video & Demo Production.

Train-the-Trainer: The Standard Model. The majority of MOLI deployments use train-the-trainer as the primary delivery model — it is usually the most effective. Your trainers know your shifts, your language, your floor. We give them the knowledge. They then deliver it in context with our materials.

PDF: https://www.perdixsw.com/literature/sheets/moli/training/pdf/

Additional Project Services

Customizing · Extending · Building

When the standard configuration isn't quite the right configuration.

The MOLI System. Extended for Your Operation.

MOLI ships with a substantial library of modules, workflows, and integrations. Most deployments go live on the standard configuration. Some operations require something more specific — a custom integration with a legacy ERP, a specialty module for a unique production process. Project Services exist for those situations.

Project Services are scoped and priced per engagement — a defined scope, a defined deliverable, and a team that knows MOLI well enough to extend it without breaking it.

What Project Services Cover

• Custom Integrations.
• Specialty Module Development.
• Signage, Reporting, and Dashboards.
• System Migrations & Data Transformations.
• Compliance Validation Packages.

Scoped. Priced. Delivered. Project Services begin with a scoping conversation. We define what is being built, what it will cost, and what “done” looks like — before any work begins. If you have sketches or can make an Excel prototype those are useful inputs to the process.

Security

MOLI Security Overview

private cloud · zero shared tenants · quantum-safe

Perdix Software treats your confidential manufacturing data with care and control.

Security is architecture, not an afterthought

Your proprietary manufacturing data represent years of investment — and real responsibility. You should be able to verify your deployment, control access, and expect the same standard of care from a vendor that you demand internally.

From physical controls to post-quantum cryptography, MOLI's security posture is active, layered, and proven.

• 1:1 — Dedicated server per customer
• NIST PQC — Post-quantum ready encryption

Protection at every layer

General Protection

A mutual NDA is signed with every customer before work begins. All Perdix employees sign NDAs and Invention Assignment Agreements upon hire and are subject to background checks. Employees are trained to treat all data as confidential; access to customer systems and data is granted strictly on a need-to-know basis. All access is terminated immediately on offboarding.

Physical Security

MOLI cloud infrastructure runs on Amazon Web Services — SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and FedRAMP-authorized data centers with biometric access controls, monitoring, and redundant power. Perdix offices use logged keyfob entry, a formal building sign-in procedure, a secure lockbox for printed material and removable media, and a fully isolated guest/device Wi-Fi network with no path to corporate infrastructure.

Identity & Access Management

MOLI supports Multi-Factor Authentication via TOTP app, security key, SMS, email, or voice call. Single Sign-On via OIDC is supported as both consumer and provider. On the floor, kiosk-optimized single-factor (employee ID, barcode, keyfob) minimizes friction while maintaining accountability. Role-based access control and Explicit Mode limit access to what is appropriate to that user at that location.

Dedicated Infrastructure

Every customer has their own private server — never a shared multi-tenant environment. Each deployment uses unique service keys for every external integration so a compromise in one deployment cannot reach another. Perdix staff have no routine access to customer infrastructure; access is granted to specific individuals for specific reasons at specific times only.

Network Access Controls

Network access to each MOLI server is restricted by customer-specific firewall rules at the infrastructure level. HTTPS is enforced on all endpoints; all traffic uses TLS 1.3 with forward-secret cipher suites. HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) and secure cookie attributes are enforced platform-wide. Inbound port exposure is minimized to only what is operationally required.

Software Development Security

All service keys and secrets are stored separately from source code. Source code is maintained in a controlled-access repository supporting multi-factor authentication. Every change undergoes formalized peer review and test suites are run before deployment. Developers have no routine access to customer data — access is granted only to diagnose specific issues in specific environments.

Software Bill of Materials

All third-party code is thoroughly evaluated before inclusion — license, history, and supply chain risk assessed by the designated Codemaster role. All code is pinned to specific versions, and served via private package infrastructure — eliminating the most common software supply chain attack vectors. A live SBOM Dashboard is available within each deployment for independent customer verification.

Audit & Compliance Logging

Every user action, configuration change, and system event is logged with who, what, when, and from where — persistently, in detail. Logs are available for export in standard, non-proprietary formats and surfaced in the MOLI dashboard for immediate review. MOLI's audit architecture is aligned with NIST 800-171, DoD CMMC, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, and ISO 9001/13485 requirements for electronic records, signatures, and traceability.

Quantum-Safe Cryptography

MOLI server infrastructure protects your production data against “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks that may occur as quantum computer hardware matures. Using NIST post-quantum algorithms, TLS connections to your MOLI deployment can negotiate ML-KEM key exchange (FIPS 203) in hybrid mode alongside classical algorithms.

MOLI Private Cloud MOLI Private Cloud is our term for customer-specific Layer-3 firewall rules deployed at the AWS infrastructure level that restrict all inbound traffic to your MOLI server to your approved IP address ranges — and nowhere else. When MOLI Private Cloud is active, your deployment is invisible to the public internet outside your facility, VPN, or other approved connections. There is no login page to discover, no endpoint to probe, and no attack surface exposed to scanning. It is one of the most effective single security controls available for a cloud-hosted system — and it is applied by default to every MOLI deployment. Your MOLI server answers only to you.

Additional Security Features

Additional customer-configurable security features include:

• Application Firewall:
• Content Filter:
• Countersign Toolbox:
• Malware Scanning:

Quantum-Safe Cryptography — Ready Now, Protected for What's Next

Quantum computers capable of breaking conventional RSA and elliptic-curve cryptography are not yet widely deployed — but the threat is real and the timeline is advancing. The attack vector of “harvest now, decrypt later” means adversaries can intercept and archive encrypted traffic today, then decrypt it retroactively once sufficient quantum hardware is available. Production records, intellectual property, and personnel data collected now can become exposed in the future if the encryption protecting them is not quantum-resistant.

MOLI deploys on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Server, the first Ubuntu long-term support release to ship NIST's finalized post-quantum cryptographic standards as platform defaults. Secure HTTP connections to your MOLI deployment are capable of negotiating ML-KEM (FIPS 203) key exchange in hybrid mode alongside classical ECDHE — so data in transit is protected against both current classical attacks and future quantum decryption simultaneously. No action is required from your IT team; post-quantum negotiation happens automatically when both endpoints support it, and falls back gracefully when they do not. Support for Post-Quantum TLS is available in MOLI version 8.3.0 and higher.

• ML-KEM (FIPS 203) — key encapsulation
• ML-DSA (FIPS 204) — digital signatures
• SLH-DSA (FIPS 205) — hash-based signatures
• Hybrid TLS — classical and post-quantum simultaneously

Standards Alignment

• NIST SP 800-171 / DoD CMMC — controlled unclassified information and defense cybersecurity controls
• FDA 21 CFR Part 11 — electronic records, e-signatures, and audit trails
• FDA 21 CFR Part 820 — medical device quality system regulations
• ISO 9001 / 13485 — records management, document control, and nonconformance traceability
• AS9100 / IATF 16949 — aerospace and automotive quality records
• ITAR / EAR / C-TPAT — controlled data handling and need-to-know access
• AWS SOC 2 Type II / ISO 27001 — infrastructure-level security assurance
• NIST FIPS 203 / 204 / 205 — post-quantum cryptographic standards

MOLI Software Bill of Materials (SBOM)

transparent, verifiable supply chain information for every deployment

Audit the software running on your MOLI System.

Every package, every dependency, every version — any time.

MOLI's Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) dashboard supports software validation requirements in regulated environments without requiring manual inventory efforts.

View detailed release notes and a comprehensive inventory of first- and third-party code running on your MOLI System.

How It Works

On the System Status screen, you can view the currently-running version's release notes, all past release notes, and detailed information about all MOLI and third-party software packages running on your MOLI System.

Third-party dependencies are thoroughly reviewed and approved by the MOLI Codemaster before inclusion in the software. Updates to each direct dependency, and key transitive dependencies, are included with every MOLI Release.

MOLI is pinned to the LTS (Long-Term Support) versions of our Operating System (Ubuntu) and Framework (Django).

The SBOM isn't just an artifact — it built your MOLI System. Each package in the SBOM — whether proprietary MOLI Code or third-party / open-source code — was served to your MOLI System when it was built (or last updated) by a private package server: the MOLI Registry. The MOLI Registry houses authoritative copies of our MOLI Software builds as well as copies of all distributed third-party code, and distributes those packages at install-time to each MOLI System using the SBOM. This architecture insulates your MOLI System from several common types of software supply chain attack, insulates our build process from public cloud outages, and provides a repeatable build based on code of known provenance.
