Live now · running on real sites
The intelligence layer for UK-built automation. Routing, live dashboards, fault detection and reporting — built by the same team that builds the machines, and already running on live Orion sites.
A node-based platform: native and deepest on Orion kit, and plugged straight into the third-party automation you already run. One intelligence layer across the whole operation.
Comet asks a few quick questions about your operation — who runs the floor, how the day is structured, how you feel about the engineering — and shows you only the Helios that earns its keep. Thirty seconds, no feature dump.
Helios is built from nodes. Every conveyor, sorter, robot, PLC or scanner becomes a node on the platform — deepest and native on Orion's own kit, built by the same UK team, and plugged straight into third-party automation too. One intelligence layer across your whole operation, not just the Orion island.
Land Helios on the Orion system you already run — then extend it, node by node, across the kit you already own. No rip-and-replace.
Not a dashboard bolted on after the fact — a full warehouse operating system running live today. Every module below is in production on real sites.
A personal, drag-and-drop dashboard. Every user arranges their own live widgets — throughput, read rate, active sorters, routing, 365-day heatmaps — the way they want to see the site.
Every parcel, live: barcode, dimensions, weight, destination, chute, service and read status. Search any parcel, click through to its capture image — full traceability, per sorter or site-wide.
Real-time throughput, good / multi / no-read rates, uptime and active sorters — site-wide or per sorter, from a 10-minute window to a full day, with a rolling 7-day heatmap and CSV export.
Daily volume against target, shift breakdowns, sorter leaderboards, out-of-gauge and volumetric (m³) reports — with auto-generated insights on what changed, exported to CSV or PDF.
Assign depots to chutes in a few clicks and push the new config straight to the physical sorter through its edge agent — rebalance lanes for peak without a controls engineer on site.
A real-time 3D model of your actual sorters and conveyors, parcels moving as they move on the floor — with active and historic alarms you can acknowledge without leaving the screen.
The full EPLAN electrical schematics live in the platform — panel layouts, cable runs, PROFINET, power supplies, E-stops. The drawings sit next to the machine they describe, always current.
Raise work orders against any asset, run a Kanban board through to completion, schedule PMs and track spares with datasheets and reorder levels — planned maintenance instead of firefighting.
Multi-tenant, role-based and audited — the platform APC Overnight runs live, not a pilot.
