Find optimal conditions, faster.

Optima uses AI-powered Design of Experiments (DoE) and optimisation to help you discover the optimal operating conditions for your machines and processes.

Understand how process parameters impact performance, identify opportunities for improvement, and achieve better results with fewer experiments.

AI-Powered Optimisation

Discover multi-objective optimal process settings through intelligent experimentation and advanced analysis.

AI-Guided DoE

Identify the most valuable next experiments using AI, reducing unnecessary trials and accelerating optimisation.

Guided Optimisation Workflow

Follow a structured, step-by-step journey using P-Diagrams, experiment design, analysis and optimisation, without complex setup.

Reduce Costs and Resource Usage

Reduce material waste, energy consumption and operational costs through optimised process settings.

Data-Driven Decisions

Make confident decisions backed by experimental evidence, predictive models and operational data.

Optima use case: a CNC machine produces scrap and a poor surface finish. Its feed, speed and depth settings are defined as factors in an Optima project; Optima generates a design of experiments; each experiment is run on the machine and the result added back; analysis shows which AI optimisation learns from the recorded results and recommends parameters; when not satisfied, AI-guided DoE suggests further experiments, which are recorded and optimised again; once satisfied, the optimal parameters are collected in a results table and published to the machine, which then runs with less scrap, a better finish and a shorter cycle.

TaktMind Optima · Walkthrough

From Process Challenges to Optimal Performance.

Discover how OPTIMA transforms real manufacturing challenges into data-driven improvements through intelligent experimentation, AI-guided optimisation and actionable recommendations.

The problem

This machine isn't performing.

High scrap, inconsistent quality, and too much guesswork in the setup.

Surface finish is poor, scrap is high, and the process is being adjusted run after run without confidence. Operators change feed, speed and depth based on experience, but there is no structured way to understand which settings actually improve performance.

01 · Define

Turn the process into an Optima project.

Define the factors, outputs and constraints that matter.

The current machine settings become controllable factors inside Optima. Feed rate, spindle speed and depth of cut are captured alongside the output response you want to improve, such as surface finish, cycle time, energy or yield. Constraints and operating boundaries keep experimentation practical and safe.

02 · DoE

Generate a structured design of experiments.

Replace trial and error with planned experimental runs.

Optima automatically creates a Design of Experiments (DoE) based on the defined factors and ranges. Each run tests a purposeful combination of settings, so you gather the most useful information with fewer trials than manual experimentation.

03 · Record experiments

Run the experiments and record the results.

Every result goes back into Optima.

The generated runs are executed on the real machine, and the measured result of each one is recorded in Optima.

04 · AI optimisation

AI learns from the results and recommends the settings.

Optima models the completed runs and predicts the best operating point.

Once the first experiment set is complete, Optima's AI learns how feed, speed and depth of cut affect the result, then recommends the combination of parameters most likely to hit the target.

05 · AI-guided DoE

Not satisfied? AI suggests the next experiments.

The suggested runs are recorded and optimised again.

If the recommendation is not good enough, or more confidence is needed, AI-guided DoE suggests only the most informative next experiments. They are added to the DoE, run and recorded, and AI optimisation learns again, until the result is satisfactory.

06 · Publish the results

Satisfied? Publish the optimal settings to the machine.

The results table goes live, and the machine proves it.

Once the result is satisfactory, Optima brings the optimal parameters together in one results table and publishes them to the machine. A run on the machine confirms the predicted surface finish, and the settings become the new standard.

The result

Same machine. Better results.

Less scrap, a better finish and a shorter cycle.

From trial and error to intelligent optimisation: process knowledge turned into the best settings for the machine.
