Six instruments. Real numbers, before anyone talks to sales.

Each one computes in your browser from your own figures, shows its formula, and says plainly when the answer is “not yet”. Nothing is gated. The link carries your inputs, so a result can be sent to whoever signs off.

Industrial Automation

What is unplanned downtime costing us?

Put a monthly and annual number on unplanned downtime from your own units, margin, idle labour and expedite costs — and see what a 20% reduction is worth.

Vision & Advanced Sensing

Will automated visual inspection pay for itself?

Compare manual inspection cost and escaped defects against an automated system's cost and miss rate. Shows payback, three-year net — and the cases where the honest answer is not yet.

Vision & Advanced Sensing

Can machine vision inspect this part?

Six questions about the defect, the part, its surface, the cycle time, lighting access and variation — and a straight verdict: feasible, feasible with fixturing, needs a study, or not a vision problem.

IoT & Smart Systems

Can I get data off this old machine?

Machine age, controller family, ports, network and the signal you want — and the realistic ways to get data out, with effort and invasiveness for each.

AI & Intelligent Automation

Is this process worth automating?

People, hours, loaded rate, error and rework cost, and how much of the work is actually automatable — against the build and running cost. Shows recoverable hours, payback, and the process shapes where automation fails.

Systems Integration

What would a system for this look like?

Answer six questions about what you have and what you want, and watch a system diagram assemble itself — machine, sensor, gateway, broker, store, dashboard, alert. Export it, or send it to us as the start of a scope.
