Field 07
Manufacturing
Making physical things, reliably, at scale.

The question
Can a factory floor explain itself to the people who run it?
Production is physical and unforgiving. Research here is about connecting sensors, schedules and people so a problem is understood before it becomes a stoppage.
Programs
3 directions we are working on.
- 01
Quality signals
Detecting drift in a process early and saying which step caused it.
- 02
Maintenance reasoning
Predicting what will fail next, with reasons an engineer can check.
- 03
Shop-floor knowledge
Capturing what experienced operators know before it leaves with them.
