Most manufacturers are sitting on process data they can't access — machines without sensors, quality tracked in spreadsheets, decisions made without evidence. We audit where you are, instrument your shop floor, build the data infrastructure, and lead the program as your Fractional CDO.
Start with an AssessmentProduction equipment runs without sensors. Temperature, pressure, cycle time, yield — critical process variables that exist only in an operator's notebook, if at all.
What data does exist is inconsistent, duplicated, or manually entered. Quality decisions made on bad data don't just waste time — they create defects, rework, and recalls.
Leadership wants dashboards and AI. But dashboards need clean data, and AI needs a data pipeline. Without the foundation, every initiative stalls before it starts.
Plant engineers know the floor. IT knows the systems. No one bridges both — and no one is accountable for turning the modernization roadmap into a working production system.
We assess your current state across four dimensions: technology stack, sensor and instrumentation coverage, data quality, and operational workflows. You get a clear gap analysis and a prioritized roadmap — not a generic framework, a specific plan for your facility.
We design and deploy sensor networks on your production equipment — temperature, pressure, flow, vibration, oxygen levels, environmental conditions. We select the right hardware, wire it correctly, and connect it to your data infrastructure. The data starts flowing.
We architect and build the data foundation your operations need: data lake, warehouse, ingestion pipelines, and data quality controls. Clean, reliable, accessible data — so your engineering and operations teams can actually use it for decisions.
We lead the modernization program as your embedded Chief Data Officer. Not a consultant who hands over a report — a program leader accountable for outcomes, coordinating vendors, managing timelines, and reporting to the COO or plant leadership.
We don't scope the work and disappear. We stay until the system is in production and your team can run it.
A structured audit of your current automation, instrumentation, data systems, and data quality. Benchmarked against industry standards. Delivered as a prioritized gap analysis and actionable roadmap — not a 200-slide deck.
End-to-end design and deployment of industrial sensor networks. We specify hardware, manage installation, configure connectivity (Modbus, OPC-UA, MQTT), and validate data quality at the source before it enters your pipeline.
We design and build scalable data infrastructure for manufacturing — time-series process data, quality records, production logs. Structured for operational reporting, engineering analysis, and future AI/ML workloads.
Bad data is a manufacturing risk, not just an analytics problem. We audit your existing data for completeness, consistency, and accuracy — then design the governance, controls, and processes to keep it clean going forward.
With clean data and proper infrastructure in place, we build the operational dashboards your plant leadership and engineers actually use — process performance, quality trends, yield analysis, and anomaly detection.
We lead your data modernization program as an embedded executive. Accountable for timelines, vendors, and outcomes. Right-sized for mid-market manufacturers who need CDO-level leadership without a full-time hire.
COOs and plant managers scaling production who need visibility into what's actually happening on the floor
Manufacturers building new facilities who want to instrument correctly from day one — not retrofit in five years
PE-backed industrials under pressure to improve margins, reduce waste, and demonstrate operational rigor to the board
Quality-critical manufacturers — aerospace, defense, advanced materials — where bad data directly translates to defects, recalls, or compliance failures
We'll audit your current data and technology maturity, tell you exactly where the gaps are, and propose a realistic path forward. No commitment required beyond the first conversation.
