Most manufacturing AI projects die in the pilot phase. We deploy AI that integrates into your actual workflows -- demand forecasting, predictive maintenance, pricing optimization, and intelligent routing -- governed by operational data contracts. Charlotte's manufacturing identity is splitting in two directions at once. Legacy energy suppliers built around Duke Energy's grid infrastructure are retooling for EV components, while Siemens Energy and ABB push turbine and switchgear production along the I-85 corridor toward full digital thread adoption. The result is a workforce fluent in heavy electrical assembly but largely unfamiliar with connected factory operations.
Charlotte's Tier 1 automotive suppliers are being forced into digital compliance by OEM mandates from BMW Spartanburg and the incoming VinFast plant, but most are still running disconnected Epicor and SAP instances with no real-time shop floor visibility.
ML models trained on your order history, seasonality, and market signals to predict demand by SKU, customer, and channel. Integrates directly with your planning and purchasing workflows.
Analyze equipment sensor data to predict failures before they happen. Maintenance scheduling optimized around production plans, not arbitrary intervals.
Computer vision and anomaly detection for automated quality inspection. Catch defects earlier in the process and reduce scrap rates.
Dynamic pricing models that factor in costs, competition, customer segment, and inventory position. Governed by business rules so pricing stays within approved boundaries.
AI-powered order routing that optimizes for cost, speed, and inventory balance across warehouses and fulfillment channels. Real-time decisions at order entry.
Extract data from POs, invoices, RFQs, and spec sheets automatically using NLP. Eliminate manual data entry from paper and PDF-based workflows.
Evaluate your operation for AI readiness. Identify use cases with the highest ROI and data availability. Prioritize based on business impact.
Clean, structure, and pipeline the data needed for model training. Address quality gaps and establish ongoing data feeds.
Build, train, and validate models against historical data. Benchmark against your current process accuracy and speed.
Connect models to production systems with monitoring, alerting, and human-in-the-loop governance. Define escalation rules and override procedures.
Deploy to production with A/B testing, drift monitoring, and continuous retraining. Models improve as your data grows.

No. We build and deploy the models, integrate them into your systems, and train your team to monitor and interpret results. For ongoing model tuning, we offer managed AI services or can transfer to your team when ready.
It depends on the use case. Demand forecasting needs 2+ years of order history. Predictive maintenance needs equipment sensor data. Pricing optimization needs transaction data and cost information. We assess data readiness as the first step.
Every AI deployment includes governance rules -- confidence thresholds, business rule boundaries, human-in-the-loop escalation, and audit logging. AI assists and accelerates decisions; it doesn\u2019t make unmonitored autonomous ones.
Demand forecasting and pricing optimization typically show ROI within 3-6 months. Predictive maintenance within 6-12 months. Quality inspection varies by defect rates. We model expected ROI before starting any engagement.
Most manufacturers are still running workflows that require a person to touch every exception, every order, every routing decision. AI agents eliminate that bottleneck — not by replacing your people, but by handling the work that was always below their pay grade.
Most manufacturers forecast demand with spreadsheets, gut feel, and last year's numbers adjusted by 5%. ML models trained on your actual order history, seasonality patterns, and market signals replace guesswork with predictions your planning team can act on.
Odoo Maintenance captures work orders, failure reasons, repair times, and equipment history. We build AI models on top of that data to identify failure patterns and recommend maintenance windows before breakdowns occur — no new hardware, no IoT infrastructure required.
Odoo Quality captures inspection results, non-conformances, scrap reasons, and lot traceability across every production order. We build AI models on top of that data to surface defect patterns, predict quality risk, and trigger alerts before scrap accumulates — no cameras, no hardware.
Most manufacturers price by cost-plus formula or by whatever the sales rep negotiated last time. AI pricing models factor in material costs, competitive positioning, customer segment, order size, inventory position, and market conditions — governed by business rules so every price stays within approved boundaries.
When an order hits your system, someone decides which warehouse ships it — usually based on habit, proximity, or whoever answered the phone. AI order routing makes that decision in real time, optimizing across inventory availability, shipping cost, delivery speed, and warehouse workload.
Manufacturers still process thousands of POs, invoices, RFQs, spec sheets, and BOLs manually — reading PDFs, retyping data into the ERP, and fixing the errors that come with it. Document intelligence extracts structured data from unstructured documents automatically, with validation rules that catch errors before they enter your systems.
Your dealers call or email to check stock before placing orders because they can't see what's available. We give them live ATP visibility across all your warehouses — available, allocated, in-transit, and expected replenishment dates — straight from your ERP and WMS.
We govern cloud migration in phases — every dependency mapped, every workload sequenced, every cutover window defined. Zero-downtime migration for manufacturers who can't afford an outage.
Your demand planning process runs on last year\u2019s sales adjusted by a gut-feel percentage. ML models trained on your actual order history, seasonal patterns, and market signals produce forecasts that are measurably more accurate \u2014 and they improve automatically as more data accumulates.
Your legacy system holds critical data that modern applications need -- but it has no APIs, no webhooks, and no modern integration points. We build a REST/GraphQL API layer on top of your legacy system so new applications can access data without touching the core.
Generic cloud architectures built from a vendor\u2019s reference design don\u2019t account for your ERP\u2019s latency requirements, your WMS\u2019s throughput demands, or your compliance obligations. We design cloud architecture around your actual workloads so everything performs on day one.
Metrotechs starts with the operating questions: which records are trusted, which workflows are manual, which systems own each decision, and where AI can safely improve throughput.
