FAB 107 — Burton-on-Trent

The Centian Loop is operational. See it in person.

The loop exists. Cycle 1 has run. We are inviting qualified visitors to FAB 107 to see the Centian Loop in operation — the world's first human-gated, AI-proposed, same-day hardware improvement system.

FAB 107 is our blueprint facility in Burton-on-Trent. Its purpose is to run and prove the Centian Loop, not to make product — production is what the facilities franchised from it are for. It is the original working facility, and the model the rest are built from.

What you will see

A working demonstration, not a presentation

We do not do slide decks at FAB 107. We show you the real thing. Every visit is a working demonstration of the Centian Loop running on live hardware.
