🔗 The challenge

If you work in manufacturing, you know the slightest delay can cost thousands of $$$ per hour. 

• Machine defects lead to unplanned downtime, creating yield loss that can cascade across production lines and supply chains. 
• Defective output on high-speed lines (like can makers and packagers) can also bring hidden costs.

⏰ LineWise’s solution

LineWise’s AI-powered virtual engineer helps factories troubleshoot defects faster, prevent rework, and keep production lines smooth. 

• Do it smart. LineWise helps teams track issues and generate SOPs to prevent the issue from happening again.
• Their multi-agent AI system thinks like an engineer, ingesting sensor data, event logs, OEM manuals, and past fixes to troubleshoot defects fast.

💰 What’s with the $$$? 

LineWise will expand across North America and Asia.
