Real Results from US Manufacturers
"Automated scheduling and OEE tracking boosted throughput 30% without buying a single new machine. We picked up two DoD contracts because we could prove capacity."
Precision CNC Job Shop
45 employees, Grand Rapids, MI
"SPC automation and digital batch records cut our defect rate from 4.8% to 0.9%. Our last FDA audit was the smoothest we have ever had -- zero 483 observations."
Contract Food Processor
FDA-regulated facility, Central Valley, CA
"MRP automation and vendor scorecards reduced carrying costs by 25% and eliminated stockouts. Buy American tracking saved us from a compliance issue on a federal contract."
Industrial Plastics Manufacturer
70 employees, Greenville, SC
Industry 4.0 Made Accessible
The capabilities of a million-dollar MES at a price point that works for 20 to 200 employee operations
Shop-Floor Dashboards

Common Manufacturing Questions
Is this practical for a 20-person job shop?
Absolutely. Our solutions are designed specifically for US small and mid-size manufacturers -- from 15-employee machine shops to 250-employee contract manufacturers. No IT department required; we handle deployment and training.
Can you connect legacy CNCs and older equipment?
Yes. We use industrial IoT gateways, MTConnect adapters, and OPC-UA to pull data from legacy CNC mills, lathes, presses, and PLCs -- giving you modern monitoring without replacing your capital equipment.
How long until we are up and running?
EDI order intake and inventory automation go live in 2-3 weeks. Full production automation including OEE tracking and quality workflows typically takes 6-10 weeks. We phase the rollout shift by shift to minimize disruption.
What is the payback period?
Most US manufacturers see 20-30% efficiency gains within the first 6 months. Typical payback is 6-10 months through reduced scrap, fewer overtime hours, improved on-time delivery, and the ability to win contracts that require documented quality systems.
