AI & automation for UK manufacturers.
Fewer spreadsheets between your lines and your decisions — live visibility, automated quality capture, and maintenance that predicts instead of reacts.
The pressures we hear most
- Downtime you learn about late — maintenance is reactive because the history lives on paper and in heads.
- Quality data on paper — inspection results re-keyed from clipboard to spreadsheet to ERP, with errors at every hop.
- Reporting that lags the shift — production, quality and OTIF numbers compiled by hand, arriving after the decisions they should have informed.
What good looks like
Live visibility of production and quality, automated data capture from the shop floor to the ERP, reporting that arrives before the meeting, and a maintenance operation with the history and alerting it needs to move from reactive to predictive — step by step, with each step measured.
Illustrative comparison — your actual figures come out of the assessment.

What good looks like
Downtime
Learned about late; maintenance is reactive, history on paper.
History and alerting that move you from reactive to predictive.
Quality data
Re-keyed clipboard to spreadsheet to ERP, errors at every hop.
Captured digitally and posted straight to your systems.
Reporting
Compiled by hand, arriving after the decisions it should inform.
Arrives before the meeting, from live data.
Where automation typically helps first
- Order intake and confirmation automated from email/PDF to ERP, with exceptions surfaced for human review.
- Invoice and purchase-order matching without re-keying.
- Quality and inspection records captured digitally and posted straight to your systems.
- Maintenance history digitised, work orders automated, downtime captured and alerted.
- Daily and weekly production reporting produced automatically, with drill-down.
The shop floor today
Paper records, clipboards and re-keying between line and office.
01
Captured automatically
Orders, inspections and downtime recorded as the work happens.
02
Posted once to ERP
No spreadsheet hops — exceptions surfaced for human review.
03
Decisions before the meeting
Live production, quality and OTIF reporting with drill-down.
04
From paper to prediction, one measured step at a time — and nothing we deploy may interrupt the line.
Signature packages
Standardised, fixed-price ways to start — each scoped so the result can be measured against a number agreed before we build.
Smart Factory Starter
Order intake, invoice matching and one quality flow automated, plus a baseline report pack. Fixed price, sized as a first phase.
Measured by:
measured hours and error delta.
Predictive Maintenance Insights
Maintenance history digitised, work orders automated, downtime capture and an alerting dashboard — a staged path towards prediction.
Measured by:
downtime visibility and MTTR baseline.
Production Reporting Automation
A light data platform plus automated daily/weekly production, quality and OTIF reporting with drill-down.
Measured by:
reports produced without human effort; month-end inputs automated.
Every package converts to an optional managed service with quarterly performance reviews — momentum, not maintenance.
How we work in your sector
We understand that production comes first: nothing we deploy may interrupt the line, and everything ships with fallbacks and human override. The method is the same everywhere: Discover → Assess → Pilot → Deliver → Improve, with the success metric agreed before anything is built. See the full methodology · Read our security approach.
