The integration layer between machine intelligence and the factory floor.
We deploy AI agents inside real manufacturing operations, then stay accountable for whether they hold. Not a tool you evaluate. A layer you run on.
Exceptions caught, routed, and closed before they become missed promises.
Your plan and your floor stop agreeing by 10am.
Every plant runs two versions of the day. The one in the system, and the one actually happening. The distance between them is where promises get missed, and today that distance is closed by people walking the floor and asking.
The plan
The floor
The distance between those two columns is what we are paid to close. None of it is a software problem. It is an integration problem.
Three layers, one accountable partner.
The ownership line is the part worth looking at. It sits above us, not around us.
Your operation (you own this layer)
Your data, your processes, and the decision on every agent we put into production.Intangible integration layer (we own this layer)
Everything between the platform and the floor. Build, deploy, monitor, and the adoption work that makes it stick.Ateklo HMC operating system (we own this layer)
The platform underneath, and the research network that comes with it.What we deliver.
Domain specific agents
Built for your industry, your routings, and your exceptions. Not a general assistant pointed at a plant.
Exception routing
The gap gets caught, sent to the person who can close it, and tracked until it is closed. From intake to follow up.
Managed operations
Hosting, monitoring, tuning, and retraining. Your team gets the outcome without running the infrastructure.
Embedded implementation
We work on site. We map processes with your people, and we stay until adoption is real rather than reported.
It starts with an assessment of your business and IT operations.
Three weeks inside your operation running Ateklo's Human Machine Collaboration discovery and assessment. It is a people and process engagement, not a software evaluation, and you keep everything it produces whether or not we build anything together.
The people half
- Who in your operation is already working around the gaps informally
- Latent capability surfaced and scored, not guessed at in a room
- Where a deployment would stall, and who would stall it
- Which people are positioned to run this after we step back
The process half
- Workflow mapping across the cells that actually matter
- What each recurring gap costs you per shift, quantified
- Opportunities ranked by value and by how hard they are to build
- An honest read on which ones are not worth automating
Yours outright, whether or not we build anything together. Plenty of operations run the assessment, take the map, and fix half of it themselves.
Assess
Paid engagement. Our people are on your floor and with your team, running the Ateklo assessment against one operation.
Build
Only if the assessment says there is something worth building. We deploy against the highest value gap, running on live data.
Scale
We extend across cells, plants, and functions, and manage the fleet as it grows.
Free discovery is worth what you pay for it. Charging means we can put senior people on your floor for three weeks instead of a salesperson for an afternoon, and it means the findings are yours outright. Plenty of operations run the assessment, take the map, and fix half of it themselves. That is a fine outcome.
Assessment pricing is fixed and quoted up front, and it is credited against the build if you go ahead.
What good looks like.
We agree the measure before we build. If the number does not move, the pilot has not earned the next phase.
Who this works for.
A good fit if you are
- Scaling output without scaling headcount
- Losing senior people faster than you can replace them
- Ready to run AI in production, not in a lab
- Looking for a partner who stays after go live
Not a fit yet if you are
- Looking for a tool, not an operation to change
- Unable to give us floor access and time with your people
- Unwilling to name an owner for the outcome
- Expecting discovery for free before you commit to anything
Why manufacturing execution breaks down
Start with the reading.
What 235 ops leaders in small to mid-market manufacturing told us about the gap between the plan and the floor, and what one chronically broken workflow costs a year.
- The two stacks every plant runs at once, and what sits in the gap between them
- A plan against reality diagram of one ordinary week on the floor
- Where agents actually close the gap, and where they do not
The complete report is included in this static site.
Start with the assessment.
A 30 minute call to work out whether the assessment is worth running on your operation.
- Where your plan and your floor come apart today
- Whether there is enough there to justify the assessment
- What it costs, how long it takes, and what you walk away with
Tell us what breaks most often and we will tell you whether we can close it.
