AI in manufacturing: what already works on the shop floor
Where AI already helps on the shop floor
Questions
“Where did I lose the most time this week?” answered with the factory’s data.
Investigation
Cross-checking stops, times and machines to find the pattern that repeats.
Simulation
Testing a sequence swap and seeing the effect on due dates.
Actions to approve
Preparing a task or a notice and waiting for a person to approve it.
The factory’s memory
In many factories, what is known about production is scattered: in the supervisor’s head, the planner’s spreadsheet, the quality notebook. When someone goes on vacation, part of that memory goes too.
A “company brain” means bringing all of this into one place: orders, engineering routings, stops with reasons, inspections and history. AI becomes useful when it queries that memory, not when it makes up an answer.
Precautions for using AI in production
AI should only see what the user is allowed to see.
Nothing should run without a person’s approval.
The answer must show where the numbers came from.
AI does not replace the system’s official calculations, such as OEE.
Otto, Mestti’s AI
Queries the factory data your user is allowed to see.
Investigates stops, orders, OEE and quality pending items in plain language.
Proposes an action, such as a task for Supplies or a new sequence, and shows the effect.
Only runs after a person approves, and the record is kept.
Questions about AI in manufacturing
Does Otto make decisions on its own?
No. It queries, investigates and proposes. Any action only runs after a person approves.
Which data does the AI see?
Only what your user is allowed to see. Each company’s data is isolated.
Do I need an AI project to get started?
No. The first step is measuring production. With the data recorded, Otto starts answering about it.
Does AI replace the planner or the supervisor?
No. It shortens the path to information and prepares proposals. The decision stays with the team.
First, reliable data. Then, an AI that answers with it.

If it does not fit, we remove the sensor and you pay nothing.
