Industrial Edge: Sensor Alert → Actuator Command

A local-first / airgapped-capable workflow: gate agents before sensors, devices, PLC paths, or physical controls execute.

Scenario + Requested Action

Off-hours temperature / pressure anomaly.

A local edge agent sees a temperature or pressure anomaly off-hours. It asks to power-cycle a controller, open a valve, stop a line, unlock access, or send a command to a device path.

What Continuum Holds Before Execution

Continuum places the command in HOLD if sensor confidence is low, time drift is detected, operator presence is unverified, or the command exceeds safe operating limits.

Clearance / Routing Path

An on-site operator authenticates through the required local module. Continuum routes only the bounded command to the approved local device interface; receipts stay private, local, and airgap-ready.

Receipt + Buyer Proof

The receipt captures the local evidence required to prove the command was held, cleared, bounded, and routed correctly.

Demo logic: unclear or unauthorized → HOLD before execution; approved → routed action + audit-grade receipt.
