AI Audit for Manufacturing & Industrial SMBs — £997
Built for operations directors and managing directors at manufacturing SMBs. We map every workflow you already pay for — planning, shop floor, QC, supply chain, service — and identify the automations that recover the most operator and engineer hours per week.
One week, fixed price, vendor-neutral. You walk away with a prioritised roadmap your team can actually ship — designed for shop-floor reality, not slide-deck theory.
Where manufacturers find the most leverage
Every audit is bespoke, but four patterns show up in almost every manufacturing engagement we run. We'll quantify each one against your line count, product mix, and current MES/MRP stack.
Production planning & scheduling
AI-assisted demand forecasting and shop-floor scheduling that absorbs supplier delays and rush orders without throwing the whole MRP out of sync.
Quality control & defect detection
Computer-vision inspection of parts coming off the line — flagging defects that human QC misses, with audit trail-grade logs for ISO compliance.
Predictive maintenance
Sensor-driven anomaly detection on critical machinery — predicting failure before the line stops, scheduling maintenance into the gaps in your run.
Aftersales & service workflows
AI triage of inbound service tickets, parts-availability lookups, and warranty claim processing — recovering hours from your service desk every week.
What you get inside the week
Every deliverable is built for the people who'll actually action it — your operations director, your QC lead, your IT/OT manager. No 80-page McKinsey deck, no generic vendor pitch.
We've run this for discrete manufacturers, contract manufacturers, food and beverage, and engineering job shops. The structure is the same. The opportunities are always yours.
