Making Engineering
Judgment Scalable
The judgment that runs your factory shouldn't depend on who's in the room. We structure decades of engineering expertise into AI that's always available and gets better with every production cycle.

Why We Built This
Judgment Doesn’t Scale
Your best engineers carry decades of expertise in their heads. When they are no longer available, that knowledge is gone.
Domain First, Not Data First
We’re built by engineers who’ve spent careers on factory floors. The intelligence comes from domain expertise, not generic models.
Start at the Drawing
The drawing stage is where cost, quality, and delivery get decided. What you miss there compounds at every step after.
The System Compounds
Our products share what they learn across stages. Every job that runs through the system makes the next one sharper.
Six Products. One Connected System.
Dedicated products for every stage of manufacturing, from drawing to delivery.
Design Intelligence
Catch drawing issues before they become problems on the shop floor
Manufacturing Intelligence
Go from drawing to accurate cost sheet in minutes, not days
Planning Intelligence
Reschedule production in seconds when priorities change on the floor
Execution Intelligence
See what’s happening on your floor right now, not yesterday
Downtime Intelligence
Make downtime visible, traceable, and actionable before it spreads
Quality Intelligence
Digitize quality data at source and link it back to production orders
Standalone Products Whose Value Compounds When Connected
Built on open architecture, each product can work on its own or share data across stages to unlock new value.
Estimation → Planning
Manufacturing Intelligence can check against the production plan, so sales can quote cost and delivery together instead of separately.
Quality → Design
Quality Intelligence findings from the floor can feed back into drawing review, so the system learns which issues actually cause problems.
Execution → Estimation
Actual production times and costs can feed back into Manufacturing Intelligence, so quotes get tighter with every job that runs through the system.
Manufacturers Who Take Responsibility for Outcomes
Design & Make Manufacturers
Companies that develop their own products and carry full responsibility for cost, quality, and delivery. Engineered Intelligence begins at drawing review and extends through every downstream stage.
Automotive OEMs · Auto-component manufacturers · Industrial equipment builders · Heavy engineering firms
Make-to-Print Manufacturers
Companies that receive designs from OEMs or external design houses and compete on cost accuracy and delivery speed. Intelligence starts at estimation and compounds as production and quality data feed back.
Oil & gas equipment fabricators · Chemical processing vessel manufacturers · Contract manufacturers
