Manufacturing

Predictive maintenance, quality scoring, and supply chain AI. From the factory floor up.

We build the systems that predict failures, score quality, and optimize production.

Manufacturing runs on timing. Downtime costs thousands per minute, quality defects compound through the supply chain, and demand forecasting determines whether you're sitting on inventory or missing orders. We build the AI and data systems that make these decisions faster and more accurate.

Why AI in Manufacturing is different.

Manufacturing generates terabytes of sensor data every day. Vibration, temperature, pressure, current, speed. Unplanned downtime costs industrial manufacturers an estimated $50B annually. Most of that data sits in historians and SCADA systems, never analyzed, never acted on.

The plants running predictive maintenance see 25-30% reductions in maintenance costs and 50% fewer unplanned stops. The ones on calendar-based schedules are either over-servicing equipment that is fine or missing failures until the line goes down. Computer vision quality inspection catches defects at line speed that human inspectors miss entirely.

The challenge on the factory floor is not algorithms. It is integration. OPC-UA connections to legacy PLCs, data pipelines from noisy sensors, models that run at the edge with 50ms latency requirements, and operators who need to trust the output. That is where we work.

The Problems That Slow You Down

01

Unplanned downtime costs $10K+ per hour

Equipment fails without warning. Maintenance schedules are calendar-based, not condition-based. Spare parts aren't staged.

02

Quality inspection is manual and inconsistent

Human inspectors catch 80% of defects on a good day. Bad batches ship, returns spike, and the root cause takes weeks to find.

03

Supply chain visibility ends at your dock

You know what's in your warehouse. You don't know what's on the truck, at the port, or delayed by 3 weeks.

04

Production planning by experience, not data

Shift scheduling, batch sizing, and line changeovers based on tribal knowledge. When the veteran retires, the playbook leaves with them.

These aren't pitch deck scenarios. Every use case maps to a system pattern we've built and deployed in production.

What We Build in Manufacturing

Predictive Maintenance for Production Assets

VP Operations
Problem

Calendar-based maintenance and operator intuition; 10-20% production time lost to unplanned downtime.

System

LSTM/Random Forest on vibration, temperature, current, runtime sensor data, producing RUL predictions feeding CMMS.

Maintenance costs down 20-30%, downtime down 50%, equipment life +10-20%.

Real-Time Quality Inspection

Director of Quality
Problem

Manual sampling misses subtle defects; scrap rates of several percent, costly rework.

System

CNN on line-camera images + process data (temperatures, pressures, speeds) for real-time defect classification.

23% scrap reduction, 10% less unplanned downtime.

OEE Optimization & Micro-Stop Analysis

Plant Manager
Problem

OEE reports hide thousands of micro-stops; 5-15% latent capacity unused.

System

Unsupervised clustering on high-frequency machine event logs, identifying recurring patterns and root cause suggestions.

12.4% OEE uplift within six weeks.

Process Parameter Optimization

Process Engineering Manager
Problem

Operators rely on tribal knowledge; sub-optimal recipes drive scrap, energy waste, shift variation.

System

Bayesian optimization on historical runs, recommending optimal parameter windows and alerting on drift.

23% scrap reduction, stabilized quality.

GenAI for SOPs & Work Instructions

Director of Manufacturing Engineering
Problem

Documentation scattered across legacy PDFs/Word; updates lag process changes by weeks.

System

LLM agent ingests existing SOPs, ERP/MES change logs, engineering notes, then generates/updates structured docs and pushes to MES/PLM.

Doc creation from weeks to minutes, continuous sync with process.

Digital Work-Instruction Copilot

Plant Manager
Problem

Operators depend on static paper instructions; onboarding takes months, changeover mistakes cause downtime.

System

LLM+RAG indexes SOPs, manuals, incident reports, answering natural-language questions at station and surfacing contextual checklists.

Shorter training, fewer documentation errors, faster line response.

AI Production Planning & Scheduling

Head of Planning
Problem

Planners juggle complex constraints in spreadsheets; sub-optimal schedules lower OEE and increase overtime.

System

ML predicts run times and changeover impacts, constraint solver generates optimized schedules, LLM summaries for planners.

Significant throughput and utilization improvements.

Building the system is half the job. Growing the business around it is the other half.
