Factories Deserve Better

Manufacturing runs the world, but the tools don't match the job. We're building the infrastructure that makes AI useful in factories.

Isometric view of a modern manufacturing facility with industrial equipment, vehicles, and workers

Manufacturing runs the world. Every car, plane, and pump begins its life in a factory. Step into that world and you'll see a symphony of machines, documents, and software, all kept in tune by the people who run it. Margins are razor-thin. Timelines are tight. One mistake can ripple through suppliers and customers and stall a week of work.

We've stood on the floor during changeovers and watched five people open five different systems to chase one answer. We've listened to operators explain the half-baked solutions they built because the software did not match the job. We've heard maintenance teams recount a fault from memory because the logs were there, but not connected. We know the pride of a clean shift, and the aches of hours lost to clicking.

The Problem with Current Tools

What makes it harder is the state of the tools. Systems do not speak to each other. Data lives in many places: ERP, MES, PLM, CAD, PDFs, SOPs, spreadsheets, inboxes. Answers exist, but they are buried. So teams copy, paste, reconcile, and guess. The smartest people in the room spend their day hunting instead of solving. When the right context does not arrive at the right moment, capable teams are forced to wait and fight yesterday's fires.

Factories deserve better.

What Factories Need

They deserve better visibility. One place to see what's happening, why it's happening, and what it touches, instead of having ten tabs open or digging through last month's emails.

They deserve better systems. Less copy-paste. Less chasing down information that should already be there. More hours spent building, improving, and moving the line forward.

They deserve better foresight. Spotting patterns before they turn into breakdowns. Catching quality slips before they reach the customer. Instead of fighting fires, plan around them. With the right context at the right time, progress no longer stalls; it compounds.

This is why we are building Mithryl

We are here to give time back and empower the people who make things. To pull machines, processes, logs, files, and records into one connected picture. To turn insights from a scavenger hunt into something you can act on.

We are building the infrastructure that makes AI useful in factories. Grounded in your data, clear in its reasoning, and always pointing back to the record behind every answer or suggestion.

Factories deserve better. The people who power the physical world deserve software that serves them. That is why Mithryl exists.
