Manufacturing.

Fewer surprises on the factory floor.

AI that earns its keep on the shop floor. Less downtime, fewer recalls, sharper forecasts — wired into the systems you already run.

At a glance

Predictive maintenance, vision QA and supply-chain forecasting for plants that can't afford to stop.

What gets in the way

01

Unplanned downtime

One stuck conveyor cascades into a $40K shift. Maintenance teams react instead of predict.

02

Inconsistent quality

Human visual inspection drifts after lunch. Returns and recalls eat margin.

03

Brittle supply chain

Tier-2 supplier delays surface too late. Safety stock balloons, working capital sinks.

Where AI moves the needle

/01

Predictive maintenance

Vibration, current and temperature signatures forecast failures 7–14 days out.

/02

Vision-based QA

Real-time defect detection on the line, with active-learning loops for new SKUs.

/03

Demand forecasting

Forecast SKU demand at store-day granularity, blending POS, weather and macro signals.

/04

Energy analytics

Identify the 5% of assets driving 40% of energy use; act on it.

/05

Digital work instructions

Multimodal assistants that walk operators through procedures — in their language.

How we delivered

/case study — Manufacturing
Tier-1 automotive supplier, RO

Vision QA on 6 lines without retrofitting the PLCs

We shipped a vision QA layer that runs on commodity edge boxes, integrates with the existing MES, and pushes defects to a continuously-learning model. False rejects dropped 60% in 8 weeks.

How we work

01

Discovery

4–6 hour workshop. Goals, customer segments, JTBD, user flows, AI proposal, 6-month roadmap.

02

Architecture

Data audit, model selection, integration plan, evaluation harness, governance.

03

Build

2-week iterations. Demo Fridays. Built-in observability from day one.

04

Scale

Production rollout, change management, continuous fine-tuning and cost monitoring.
