Manufacturing
Your shop builds what matters.
Our data expertise keeps you ahead.
Your production lines, ERP systems, and sensors generate millions of data points daily. Most companies treat this as operational overhead. We help you turn it into your most powerful competitive advantage.
Let's Talk
The Real Costs Are Hidden in Your Data
The obvious expenses are on the P&L sheet. The real opportunities lie in the patterns hidden within your operational data.
Unplanned Downtime
When equipment fails unexpectedly, you're not just paying for repairs, you're paying for missed production, overtime, and expedited parts. The warning signs are often already in your sensor data.
Invisible Bottlenecks
You know throughput could be better, but pinpointing why is another story. Root causes hide across shifts, machines, and product mixes. They become visible only when you connect the dots across your systems.
Disconnected Systems
Your ERP says one thing, your MES says another, and your quality system has its own version of the truth. Without a single source of truth, every report requires manual reconciliation.
How We Help
We start by walking your floor, understanding your processes, and listening to the people who run them. Then we put data to work on the problems that actually matter.
Connect Your Data
We integrate and consolidate data from across your operation (ERP, MES, QMS, MRP, and machine/IoT sensors) into a unified, reliable foundation. No more spreadsheet wrangling or manual data pulls.
- •Automated data pipelines from shop floor to cloud
- •Single source of truth across systems
- •Scalable, secure cloud infrastructure
Automate Reporting & Metrics
Stop chasing numbers. We build dashboards and automated reports that give your team real-time visibility into what matters: OEE (Availability × Performance × Quality), throughput, scrap rates, yield, and on-time delivery.
- •Real-time production dashboards
- •Automated KPI tracking and alerting
- •Self-serve analytics for your team
Predict & Prevent Problems
We build predictive models that flag equipment issues before they cause unplanned downtime, identify quality risks before they become scrap, and optimize scheduling before bottlenecks form.
- •Predictive maintenance models
- •Quality anomaly detection
- •Production scheduling optimization
Optimize Operations
Visibility is key, with connected data and predictive insights, we help you squeeze more value from your existing capacity by optimizing sequencing, reducing changeover time, and identifying hidden inefficiencies.
- •Capacity and sequencing optimization
- •Root cause analysis for bottlenecks
- •Data-driven continuous improvement
Our Take on AI in Manufacturing
We've worked with AI for years. We know what it's good at and where it falls short.
In manufacturing, the stakes are high. A chatbot giving a slightly off answer is an annoyance. A production line doing something slightly off can mean scrapped material, missed deadlines, or worse.
AI is great at getting you 95% of the way there... but that last 5% of polish and predictability? That's where a lot of promising projects fail. We call it the final 5% trap: a demo that detects defects 95% of the time is exciting, but on the production line, that 5% error rate can still mean hundreds of faulty parts escaping detection each day.
That's why we're selective about where we deploy AI. We keep humans in the loop where precision is non-negotiable, and use AI to support and suplement. Think of AI as a tireless assistant that watches, suggests, and flags. While your people make the final calls.
Where AI excels in manufacturing:
- 24/7 process monitoring without fatigue
- Flagging anomalies in vibration, energy, temperature
- Exploring scheduling and routing scenarios
- Identifying bottlenecks across complex data

How We Work
We start on the floor, not in a conference room
We'll walk your production lines, talk to operators and supervisors, and see how things actually run, not just how the org chart says they should. The best insights come from the people closest to the work.
We focus on problems that move the needle
Not every data project is worth the investment. We help you prioritize the opportunities that will have the biggest impact on throughput, quality, or cost, and we're honest when something isn't worth pursuing.
We build solutions your team can own
We don't just drop a dashboard and disappear. We make sure your team understands what we've built, how to use it, and how to maintain it. When we're done, you're not dependent on us. You're empowered.
