Factory Intelligence
We turn robot arms into skilled machine operators.
Tactile arms that feel the work, taking over the shifts you can't staff.
[01] Problem
Labor is the bottleneck.
You can't hire for it, and fixed-path robots can't do it.
Most manipulation work is still done by hand because rigid automation can't touch it.

[02] Proof
Deployed. Not a demo.
Wire prep and assembly, running in production at an electrical prefab shop in Indiana. Real orders, real quotas, every shift.
[03] The bottom line
Lower cost.
Higher consistency.
No turnover.
An arm runs at $3 an hour in production today, on a fixed monthly price you can plan around.
It shows up for every shift and holds the same quality from the first part to the ten-thousandth. Nobody to recruit, retrain, or replace.

Robotics, delivered as a service.
01
We take on one task at a time, like wire prep, kitting, and assembly, and run it end to end on our arms.
02
You pay a flat monthly fee per arm, well below the fully burdened cost of the labor it replaces.
03
No capital approval needed: it comes out of the wage budget you already have.
04
Arms, tooling, software, and maintenance are all included. If something breaks, we fix it.
What happens when you write to us
01
A short call, then we walk your line and pick the task together.
02
We scope a paid pilot and bring the arms to your floor.

[05] The flywheel
Every shift makes them better.
Work becomes data. Data becomes a better model. Hardware, software, and the model improve together on the fleet's own experience.
02 Work
One runtime drives every shift. Real parts, real quotas.

Torque, vision, and outcomes stream back as training data.

[06] Why touch
The missing sense is touch.
Vision tells machines what the world looks like. Touch tells them what it is. Rigid automation fails the moment parts flex, snag, or shift.

[07] FAQ
Questions worth answering upfront.
Is this actually running in production, or is it a demo?
It's in production today at an electrical prefab shop in Indiana, running wire prep and assembly on real orders and real quotas, every shift.
How is it priced?
A flat monthly fee per arm, which works out to about $3 an hour effective, roughly 94% below the fully burdened cost of manual labor. No capital purchase: it comes out of the wage budget you already have.
What's included, and what happens if something breaks?
Arms, tooling, software, and maintenance are all included in the monthly fee. If something breaks, we fix it.
What kind of tasks can the arms take on?
We start with one task at a time, like wire prep, kitting, or assembly, and run it end to end. As the fleet works, that experience trains the model, so every arm gets better from what any one arm learns.
What happens after I reach out?
A short call, then we walk your line and pick the task together. We scope a paid pilot and bring the arms to your floor. Once it's working, it goes to production and you pay monthly while we maintain everything.
Why does touch matter instead of just using vision?
Vision tells a machine what the world looks like, not what it is. Rigid, vision-only automation fails the moment a part flexes, snags, or shifts. Touch tells the arm what's actually happening at the point of contact, in real time.
