FAQ

Do you work in regulated industries?
Yes—automotive, food & bev, med device, and aerospace with appropriate validations.

How do projects start?
With a discovery and site walk, followed by a phased plan (pilot → scale-up).

What KPIs do you track?
OEE, cycle time, FPY, MTBF/MTTR, energy intensity, and CO₂e per unit.
