Manufacturing intelligence, reimagined for the kinetic age.
The phone rings. Customer needs a quote. Fast.
You open three systems, search a thousand files, cross-reference emails, calculate from memory, and assemble the answer in your head. The data exists—scattered
across ERP, CRM, spreadsheets, file servers, and inboxes. But it doesn't talk to each other. It talks to you.
This is the fundamental problem underneath everything else.
Your brain is doing integration work when it should be doing decision work. You're the processor connecting disconnected systems. You're the synthesizer translating between platforms that refuse to speak the same language.
Every question becomes archaeology:
- "What did we quote last time?" → Dig through email, files, and ERP
- "Can we deliver by Friday?" → Check schedule, call vendors, verify capacity
- "Why is this order late?" → Search three systems, build the timeline manually
The cognitive load crowds out the decision load. You're so busy assembling the picture, you have less capacity to act on it.
Machine goes down. You need to know which orders are affected, who to notify, what the options are. The answer exists in five different places. By the time you've synthesized it, the crisis has compounded.
Ten quotes with intelligent systems: manageable. Ten quotes with disconnected systems: overwhelming.
Manufacturing intelligence closes this gap. Systems that synthesize context, not just store data. That answer questions, not just display records. That think with you, not against you.
The system does the synthesis. You do the thinking.
The gap between plan and reality
Every job is a moving target. Traditional systems assume everything goes to plan.
Material delayed. Machine down. Rush order from your biggest customer. Your plant runs on exceptions. You need intelligence that adapts in real-time, not software that reports what broke.
Your ERP knows tomorrow. Machines know yesterday. Nobody knows now.
The gap kills you. Quality issues found at final inspection, not at the source. Downtime discovered after it costs you hours. Margin erosion from supplier price changes you never saw coming.
Senior machinist retires. 30 years of expertise walks out.
Every workaround, setup trick, customer quirk—gone. The new operator doesn't know which fixture to use. The engineer doesn't know why this part rejects at 2%. You start from zero.
Saturday at the plant. Again. This isn't a strategy.
You push product through on weekends to make deadlines. Weekend heroics cover for weekday intelligence failures. At $50M, weekend work gets you through. At $500M? Burnout is guaranteed. Overtime kills margins.
COO. Sales. CEO. Floor Manager. You're wearing nine hats.
This worked when the company was smaller. You could be everywhere. But you're not managing a $10M operation anymore. You're building a $100M one. You can't clone yourself. You need to distribute intelligence.
85% yield. 15 parts short. Which customers affected? Unknown.
Your ERP or MES doesn't tell you which orders are affected. You don't know which customers to call. You don't know the revenue at risk. The customer calls you first. By then, they're already frustrated.
Material costs spike. You find out at invoicing.
Aluminum was $2.85 when you quoted. This morning: $3.15. You have no idea which quotes just lost margin. Your 28% margin became 18%. On a $50,000 order, that's $5,000 gone.
15 hours making fixtures. No place to record it in rigid systems. No idea which jobs made money.
Your estimating system thinks setup takes three hours. Reality: eighteen hours of fixture work, programming, and first article inspection buried in 'miscellaneous.' You're quoting blind.

Factory floor to cloud layer. Single-tenant or air-gapped. Your infrastructure, your control.
