Precision Manufacturing Corp

Industry:ManufacturingRevenue:$35MEmployees:180
/ the challenge /
- ▸CNC machine downtime averaged 12% (well above the 5-7% industry standard)
- ▸Quality defects cost $400K annually in rework and scrap
- ▸Supply chain visibility was non-existent until parts arrived (or didn't)
- ▸Month-end reporting required 5 full days of manual data compilation from 8 different systems
- ▸Production planning was reactive rather than proactive

/ the solution /

Phase 1
Connected IoT sensors on 40 CNC machines to predict maintenance needs

Phase 2
Integrated quality systems for real-time defect detection and root cause analysis

Phase 3
Built supply chain visibility platform with supplier risk alerting

Phase 4
Automated reporting and implemented AI-driven production optimization

Inception55 gave us capabilities we thought were only available to companies 10x our size. The predictive maintenance alone paid for the entire platform in the first quarter. Now we're using it across every part of our operation.
