If one shift outperforms another on the same line, that gap is not random. It is usually hidden capacity. This free pack helps plant leaders identify where output is slipping and what to check first.

Today is a big day for our team. I'm excited to share that we've raised $19M in Series A led by blisce/. We're also introducing a new brand, one that better reflects the future we're building. Since 2022, we've been focused on a simple but critical challenge: giving manufacturers a continuous understanding of what's happening on the shop floor. Too often, critical information is missing, disconnected, or impossible to act on in real time. Over the past few years, we've had the opportunity to work with industry leaders including Bosch, Siemens Energy, ABB, and Viessmann Climate Solutions. They've taught us a tremendous amount and strengthened our conviction that this problem is worth solving. This round was backed by NAP, Merantix Capital, Robin Capital, Underline Ventures and other investors. Most importantly, thank you to our team, customers, and investors who have helped us get here. This is an exciting milestone, but we're still just getting started.

If your operators leave the station to fetch parts, your line is paying for hours that never show up in the OEE report. We measured one line at 50% co-presence. After one change to material supply: 75%. No new tooling. This 5-minute Station Health check shows you where it's leaking on your line.

Your operators won't log a 5-second pause. Neither will your PLC. But 5 seconds, 1,800 times a shift, is 30 hours of throughput a week. Invisible to every dashboard you have. The Station Health check helps plant leaders identify these micro-leaks before they cost a quarter of output.

If one shift consistently outperforms another on the same line, that gap is not random. It's hidden capacity. We've seen plants close a 30% shift-to-shift gap to 15% in weeks. Not by retraining people. By fixing material staging at three specific stations. Find out where your output is slipping in 5 minutes.
