FIELD BY WACE — 200+ SITES / 16 YRSWe don't sell a product and walk away. Engineers who have spent 16 years across more than 200 manufacturing sites stay with you from diagnosis through build to adoption.
FIELD BY WACE — 200+ SITES / 16 YRSThere are two doors in now — Manufacturing AX, which turns the plant over to AI, and Work AX, which does the same for office and company-wide work. Wherever you enter, we diagnose your floor and your data first, then move into build and autonomy as far as you're ready. The dark factory isn't the entrance — it's the long-range unmanned strategy the factory axis arrives at.
| Manufacturing AX Consulting (NEW) | Work AX Consulting (NEW) | Dark Factory Consulting | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who it's for | Manufacturers with a smart factory but no AI results to show for it | Companies with scattered office data doing repetitive work by hand — including the non-production teams of manufacturers | Companies already getting AI results, now heading for a fully unmanned plant |
| What we do | Diagnose and standardize scattered plant data, then deploy verified manufacturing AI (predictive maintenance, anomaly detection, quality prediction) for short-term results L1 → L3 | Centralize company-wide office data and automate repetitive work with AI on a permission governance layer manufacturing-grade governance & ontology, extended to the office | The unmanned masterplan — a staged journey, autonomous-control governance and wave-by-wave investment L3 → L4 |
| On the journey | The factory-axis entry gate — the results here become the starting point for the unmanned transformation · See the journey → | The standalone office-axis gate — the entry for non-production work, running alongside the factory journey | The factory-axis endpoint strategy — carries the Manufacturing AX results into a full-plant unmanned masterplan |
| What stays | One standard for your plant data, and manufacturing AI actually in production | Office data the whole company uses on one standard, and automated work | A factory made autonomous as far as it's verified, and an unmanned roadmap |
| Track record | 16 years in the field · 200+ sites | New — we promise what's possible now and separate out what isn't yet | 2 AI autonomous-factory builds |
| Smart Factory Build | AI Agents | Autonomous Factory | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who it's for | Companies that need operational systems — production, quality, design, materials and more, across 20 areas | Companies with systems in place but decisions and ordering still done by hand | Companies moving toward autonomous operation |
| What we do | Building operational systems on the platform | AI agents built on your existing systems and data system-safe plug-in, nothing replaced | Building the perceive-decide-execute closed loop grounded in government programs |
| On the journey | Executes the Foundation and Integration steps — equipment and data standards, then one connected factory | The Intelligence step — agents begin to decide on the data standards laid earlier | The Autonomy step — control is handed over as far as the earlier gates have been passed |
| What stays | Systems on standard tables and an ontology | An AI-driven way of working that decides on your own data | A factory that grows autonomous step by step |
| Track record | 20+ builds | Manufacturing-AI program in progress (K-System integration) | Korea MSS Autonomous Factory Program — Speefox |
Manufacturing-AI engineers diagnose and standardize your scattered plant data into one manufacturing AI OS, then put verified manufacturing AI into production for short-term results. The factory-axis entry gate.
We centralize scattered office and company-wide data and automate sales, contract, inquiry and reporting work with AI on a role- and rank-based permission governance layer. The office-axis entry gate.
A long-range strategy consulting that turns a plant already getting AI results into a fully unmanned factory run by autonomous control. The endpoint of the factory-axis journey.
We build 20 solution areas — MES, PLM, ERP, QMS and more — on the platform, so the standard stays after the project ends. 20+ builds.
Without replacing your ERP, MES or other systems, we connect them through an ontology and build AI agents that decide on your company's data.
Grounded in government programs. We build the perceive-decide-execute closed loop and move step by step toward a factory that keeps running with fewer people.
We diagnose your data, equipment and system landscape, then propose the best place to begin.
