Here, Being Wrong Stops the Line.
In most businesses an automation that misfires produces an irritated customer and an apology. On a running plant it can produce a stopped line, a missed inspection, or a contractor standing at a gate without the paperwork that lets them work. That does not mean automate less. It means every automation here has to fail loudly — visibly, immediately, to a named person — rather than quietly carrying on while being wrong.

Most of the week is chasing and checking
None of these is technical work, and all of them are currently done by people whose time is technical.
- Certificates about to expireFound late, or not at all
- Contractor documents before a visitInsurance, competency, method
- Scheduling planned maintenanceAround production, around people
- Assembling the pack for a shutdownDays of document gathering
- Chasing a supplier on a spareWhile the machine waits
- Writing up what was doneFrom notes, at the end of a shift
Row one is the one that turns into an incident. A certificate that expired last week is not a paperwork problem, it is an unplanned stop — and the reason it expired is almost never that anybody decided to let it. It is that the reminder lived in one person’s memory and that person was dealing with something else. Expiry tracking is the smallest build on this page and the one most likely to prevent a bad day.
We build the admin. Not the safety decision.
To be unambiguous: nothing we build decides whether a job is safe to start, whether an isolation is correct, or whether a permit should be issued. Those are decisions for a competent person, and that phrase means something specific in your industry which we are not going to define on your behalf. Anything approaching one of those decisions routes to a human, and it does so by design rather than as a fallback.
What automation does well here is the surrounding administration, and there is a great deal of it. Knowing what expires when. Collecting a contractor’s documents before they travel rather than at the gate. Assembling the same document pack that gets assembled before every shutdown. Turning a shift’s notes into a written record while the detail is still fresh. All of that is currently done by people whose time is technical.
The design rule that matters most here is about failure. Elsewhere on this site we point out that an AI step tends to fail quietly — it keeps running while being subtly wrong. On a plant that is not acceptable, so these builds are deliberately made to stop and shout: if a document cannot be read, if a date is ambiguous, if a record does not match, it goes to a named person with the reason attached. Silence is never treated as success.
And nothing on this page names a standard, a regulation or a regulator. Not because they do not matter — they are the whole context — but because which one applies depends on your site, and a wrong reference number on a page written for plant engineers would rightly end the conversation.
- ✓No safety decisions, ever — Those belong to a competent person on your side.
- ✓Loud failure by design — It stops and names somebody. Silence is not success.
- ✓Expiry tracking prevents incidents — Smallest build here, largest bad day avoided.
- ✓Contractor documents before travel — Not at the gate, when it is already too late.
- ✓We name no standard or regulator — Which applies depends on your site, so we do not cite one.
A certificate that expired last week is not a paperwork problem. It is an unplanned stop.
What we build for a plant
Six builds, every one of them administrative, every one of them designed to fail loudly.
Expiry Tracking That Shouts
Certificates, calibrations, inspections and competencies — surfaced early, escalating as the date approaches, to a named person rather than a shared inbox. The smallest build here and the one most likely to prevent an unplanned stop.
Contractor Documents Before Travel
Insurance, competency and method statements requested, chased and checked for presence well before anybody sets off. Checking they are there, not judging whether they are adequate — that judgement is yours.
Planned Maintenance Scheduling
Proposed around production windows, people availability and what else is already down. It proposes; a planner approves. Nothing goes into a schedule because a system decided it should.
Shutdown Pack Assembly
The same documents get gathered before every shutdown, and it takes days. Assembled automatically from your own approved sources, with a list of what is missing rather than a quiet gap.
Shift Notes to a Written Record
Drafted while the detail is fresh, reviewed by whoever did the work. It does not decide what happened — it saves an hour of writing at the end of a shift, when accuracy is lowest.
Spares and Supplier Chasing
The order placed, the delivery date confirmed, the chase escalated — tracked while a machine waits. Currently done by somebody who should be fixing the machine.

— Our Proprietary Methodology —
The Visibility Framework™, applied in Industrial
The method doesn’t change by market. What it’s pointed at does.
Audit The Hours
Where time actually goes, task by task, scored on volume, repetition and the cost of getting it wrong. Ends in a ranked blueprint with estimated hours saved — yours to keep either way.
Design The Guardrails
Before any building: what the agent may touch, where a human must approve, what happens when it is unsure, and which data is never allowed near a third-party model.
Build & Evaluate
One workflow at a time, in your accounts, scored against real examples from your business before it touches live work. Shipped early so it meets reality while it is still cheap to change.
Run & Improve
Monitored for cost, failures and quality drift. Models change, your business changes, and an automation nobody tends becomes a liability rather than an asset.
Honest, No-Nonsense Commitment
If the audit concludes that a task is not worth automating, we will tell you and refund the difference rather than build it anyway. And if a workflow we built does not hit the outcome we agreed in the blueprint, we keep working on it at no extra cost until it does or we take it out.

What you’re actually committing to
Most agencies keep this in a contract you only see after the sales call. We would rather you knew now, because it is the question everyone asks second — right after the price.
- The audit is credited, not sunkPay for the audit, and the full amount comes off the build if you proceed. If you don’t, the blueprint is still yours to hand to anyone else.
- A fixed build price after the auditQuoted once we know what we are building. If it takes longer than we estimated, that is our risk — the price only moves if you change the scope.
- You own everythingAccounts, API keys, workflows, prompts, evaluation sets, logs and documentation — all in your name from day one, and still yours if we never work together again.
- Running costs are yours and visibleAPI usage is billed by the provider directly to you. We never resell tokens or mark up usage, and you see the real number.
- The retainer is month to month30 days’ notice, no exit fee. Stop it and your automations keep running — you are simply maintaining them yourself.
- Human approval is the defaultAnything customer-facing or irreversible needs a person until the evaluation data justifies otherwise, and that decision is yours to make, not ours.
These are the terms as they appear in the agreement itself — nothing here is softened for the website. The full wording lives in our terms and conditions, and you get the agreement to read before anything is signed or invoiced.
