AI for SMB Manufacturers

Predictive maintenance, quality control, and supply chain optimization—engineered for mid-market manufacturers who can't afford enterprise consultants or unplanned downtime.

The operational challenges keeping you up at night

Unplanned Downtime

Equipment failures cost $50K-$500K per incident in lost production and emergency repairs.

Quality Inconsistency

Manual inspection catches defects too late, leading to rework, scrap, and customer returns.

Demand Volatility

Supply chain disruptions and unpredictable orders make inventory optimization a constant struggle.

Skilled Labor Shortage

Tribal knowledge walks out the door as experienced workers retire without capturing expertise.

AI solutions for the shop floor

Practical applications that deliver measurable ROI within months, not years.

Predictive Maintenance

ML models analyze sensor data, vibration patterns, and historical records to predict failures before they happen.

25-40% reduction in unplanned downtime
15-25% decrease in maintenance costs
Extended equipment lifespan

AI-Powered Quality Control

Computer vision and anomaly detection identify defects in real-time during production, not after.

90%+ defect detection rate
50-70% reduction in quality-related rework
Automated inspection reports

Demand Forecasting

Machine learning models incorporate market signals, historical patterns, and external factors for accurate predictions.
