## Core Products

### Vape Cart Fillers
- **X4 Automated Cart Filler and Capper** - Automated cart filling and integrated capping system for standard vape cartridges. Caps within seconds to prevent air pockets, eliminating the need to flip carts post-fill.
- **AX Autonomous Cart Filler** - AI-enabled autonomous vape filler for all-in-one and standard vape carts. Features dual RGB and LiDAR cameras to autonomously map, find, and fill vaporizers without jigs or specialized packaging.

### Full-Line Manufacturing System
- **XCB Manufacturing System** - Fully automated filling, cleaning, QC, and packaging in one integrated line. Designed for the highest speed, efficiency, and lowest cost of production available on the market.

### Pre-Roll Infusion
- **Y2 Pre-Roll Infusion System**- Automated system that deposits any liquid extract (live resin, live rosin, batter) to produce infused donut joints and hash holes. GMP-ready with sealed stainless steel/ceramic resin contact components. Compatible with cones, straight pre-rolls, and blunts.

### Downstream Automation
- **Cart Cleaning & QC** - Automated downstream cleaning and quality control systems, designed with regulatory compliance in mind.
- **Packaging Systems** - Automated bagging and boxing systems for vape carts, supporting CRP (Child-Resistant Packaging) compliance for high-efficiency commercial production. Includes print and marking options for state regulatory compliance.

## Services

- **On-Site Installation & Commissioning** - Full-service installation spanning 1-2 days; Xylem personnel can oversee live production runs.
- **Operator Training** - Hands-on operator training at the customer's facility.
- **Production Engineer Certification** - 2-day intensive certification course at Xylem HQ in Houston, TX; includes mock vaporizer production with real cannabis resin analogs (D8, CBD).
- **Resin Preparation Expertise** - Guidance on optimal lab practices, temperature control, glassware selection, and GMP compliance for handling cannabis resins.

## Key Differentiators

- Introduced the **world's first fully automated in-line filling and capping machine** for vape cart manufacturing.
- Xylem-filled cartridges appear visually full compared to competitors' filling the same gram of oil - a result of proprietary filling technology.
- Systems cap carts within seconds, eliminating trapped air, flipping requirements, and post-fill handling steps.
- AI-enabled systems use computer vision (RGB + LiDAR) for jig-free autonomous operation.
- GMP-compliant design; stainless steel and ceramic contact surfaces for material integrity.
- Tailored solutions compatible across multiple resin types and compliant across multiple U.S. states.
