1The Challenge
A 200-person manufacturer knew they should be using AI but had no internal expertise. Leadership was overwhelmed by vendor pitches and needed an independent assessment of where AI could create real value.
- •No internal AI or ML expertise to evaluate vendor claims
- •Multiple departments with competing priorities and use cases
- •Legacy ERP system with limited API capabilities
- •Skepticism from plant floor managers about AI hype
2Our Approach
- Conducted stakeholder interviews across operations, finance, and engineering
- Mapped 4 high-impact AI opportunities ranked by feasibility and ROI
- Built a working prototype for automated report generation using their existing ERP data
- Delivered a 90-day pilot plan and 12-month roadmap
