Manufacturing Systems That Cut Downtime 67% and Save $2.1M Annually

Predictive maintenance, automated quality control, and production optimization that pays for itself in 11 days.

Manufacturing Pain Points We Solve

Quality defects costing $400K+ monthly. Manual inspections catch only 60% of issues. By the time you find problems, you've already made 10,000 defective units. Customer returns, warranty claims, and reputation damage add up fast.

Unplanned downtime eating 15-20% of production capacity. Equipment fails without warning. Maintenance teams react instead of prevent. Each hour of downtime costs $25K in lost production, overtime, and expedited shipping.

Production planning based on gut feel and spreadsheets. Demand forecasting is guesswork. Inventory is either too high (cash tied up) or too low (stockouts and rush orders). Your competitors with AI are already running circles around you.

Manufacturing Systems That Work

We implement AI where it delivers the highest ROI fastest - typically quality control, predictive maintenance, or demand forecasting

1

Automated Quality Control

Computer vision inspects 100% of products at line speed. Catches defects humans miss. Reduces scrap by 85% and warranty claims by 60%.

2

Predictive Maintenance Systems

Predict equipment failures 2-3 weeks before they happen. Schedule maintenance during planned downtime. Reduce unplanned downtime by 40-50%.

3

Production Optimization

Real-time production planning that adapts to demand changes. Optimize throughput, minimize changeovers, reduce inventory by 30%.

4

Supply Chain Automation

Demand forecasting that actually works. Predict supplier delays before they happen. Optimize inventory levels and reduce carrying costs by 25%.

Manufacturing AI: By the Numbers

Real results from a 500-employee precision manufacturer

85%
Defect Reduction

Computer vision catches defects that slip past human inspectors. Scrap rate dropped from 3.2% to 0.5% in 90 days.

$2.3M
Annual Savings

Combined savings from reduced scrap ($850K), lower warranty claims ($680K), less downtime ($520K), and optimized inventory ($250K).

11 Days
Payback Period

$95K implementation investment. $192K monthly savings. ROI achieved in 11 days. Year one return: 2,400%.

Common Failure Points in Manufacturing AI

Poor data quality: Your MES data is inconsistent. Timestamps don't match. Machine sensors report different units. Most consultants see this and propose an 18-month "data governance initiative." We clean what we need and get to work.

Trying to boil the ocean: Big firms want to transform your entire operation at once. Digital twin of the whole factory. Industry 4.0 everything. 2 years and $5M later, you have nothing in production. We start with one high-ROI use case and expand from wins.

Ignoring the shop floor: Solutions designed by people who've never stepped on a factory floor. Don't account for harsh environments, shift changes, or how operators actually work. We embed with your team. If it won't survive on the shop floor, we don't build it.

No integration with existing systems: Shiny new AI that can't talk to your ERP, MES, or PLCs. Creates more work instead of less. We integrate with what you have - SAP, Oracle, Rockwell, Siemens, whatever runs your shop.
