Unplanned downtime costs 10x more than planned maintenance. We deploy sensors and anomaly detection models that catch bearing wear, motor degradation, and component fatigue weeks before failure — turning emergency repairs into scheduled maintenance. The Puget Sound manufacturing economy was built by Boeing and still revolves around it, even as the company shifted 787 Dreamliner final assembly to South Carolina. The Everett widebody facility, Renton's 737 MAX line, and hundreds of Tier 1 suppliers from Kent to Tacoma still produce more commercial aerospace output than any region on earth. Blue Origin's Kent rocket factory and Paccar's truck manufacturing in Bellevue are diversifying the base, but Boeing's AS9100 and ITAR requirements remain the dominant force shaping how Seattle's manufacturers operate.
Boeing's post-737 MAX quality crisis has cascaded new supplier oversight requirements through the entire Puget Sound supply chain, forcing shops that had operated on trust-based relationships for decades to implement digital traceability systems they never planned for.
Continuous vibration analysis on rotating equipment — bearings, motors, spindles, and gearboxes. Detect imbalance, misalignment, and bearing wear long before failure.
Temperature trending on motors, electrical panels, hydraulics, and process equipment. Detect overheating, coolant issues, and insulation degradation.
Machine learning models that detect subtle changes in cycle time, pressure, and power draw that indicate developing problems. Catches issues humans can't see in the data.
Time-to-failure estimates based on degradation curves trained on your equipment data. Know whether you have days or weeks before a component needs attention.
Automatic work order creation in your CMMS when predictive alerts trigger. Includes machine ID, failure mode, recommended action, and urgency level.
Equipment health scorecards, alert history, and maintenance effectiveness tracking. Prove the ROI of predictive maintenance with hard data.
Identify the equipment where unplanned downtime hurts most — based on production impact, repair cost, and failure frequency. Focus sensors where ROI is highest.
Install vibration, temperature, and current sensors on critical assets. Configure data collection frequency and alerting thresholds.
Collect 4-8 weeks of normal operating data to establish baselines. Train anomaly detection models on your specific equipment behavior.
Tune alert sensitivity to balance early warning with false positive rates. Work with maintenance teams to validate alerts against real conditions.
Refine prediction models as more data accumulates and confirmed failures provide labeled training data. Accuracy improves over time.

Typically 2-8 weeks for mechanical failures (bearings, gearboxes) and 1-4 weeks for electrical/thermal issues. Lead time depends on failure mode and sensor type. The goal is enough warning to schedule maintenance without disrupting production.
Any equipment with rotating components (motors, pumps, compressors, spindles), thermal processes, hydraulic systems, or repetitive motion. If a machine degrades before it fails — and most do — we can instrument it.
During the first month, expect some tuning. After baseline learning and threshold adjustment, well-tuned systems achieve 80-90% true positive rates. We continuously refine models to minimize alert fatigue.
No. Predictive maintenance complements your existing PM program. Over time, you'll shift calendar-based tasks to condition-based — maintaining equipment when the data says it needs it, not when the calendar says so.
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.
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.
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.
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.
