How it started

I built an AI-powered factory solution at a Microsoft hackathon, where it took 1st place. Then it became a real-world implementation.

The problem we were trying to solve

I interviewed people across the factory to figure out what “digital transformation” actually meant to them:

  • Factory executive
  • Production supervisor
  • Supply chain manager

What I designed

I turned those jobs to be done into a system that digitized messy factory data, from paper records to AI-powered image recognition.

Good news

  • 83% less production harm.
  • 264 hours saved every month.
  • 1st place at the Microsoft hackathon.
