the core problem my startup is solving:
Despite the arrival of the Industry 4.0 era, the 10 million small and medium-sized manufacturers worldwide continue to rely on outdated, paper-based production management systems due to significant barriers to access current digital solutions . In fact, these digital solutions for production monitoring and anomaly detection are costly, complex, and operator-dependent leaving SMEs unable to deploy them. This situation leads to the loss of 40-60% of their potential revenue due to poor productivity and excessive energy consumption , severely undermining their competitiveness and jeopardizing their long-term viability especially with strict international carbon emission regulations between borders.
The high costs and complexity of current digital solutions is associated with implementing systems to extract data from machines (from machine control units "PLCs" or requiring retrofitting with intrusive sensors and hardware for legacy machines), as well as the reliance on extensive human input to train Artificial Intelligence for anomaly detection.In Fact, average current digital monitoring systems costs are about $150,000 per factory, require 1 year for installation, and depend on IT consultants. Furthermore, current solutions require dedicated in-house expertise in process improvements to analyze data and establish recommendations: an added costly risk to already fragile SMEs. These challenges are the primary reasons behind the stalled digital transformation of manufacturing SMEs, preventing them from leveraging modern tools to optimize their operations and stay competitive in a rapidly evolving industry.
Solution:
Amperon Technologies offers an affordable plug-and-play AI powered FactoryOps platform that brings real-time operations visibility and automatic predictive recommendations to manufacturers, equipping your team with wise guidance to put out fires before they start and to reach peak manufacturing and energy performances .
The startup’s technology reads just the electric power signature of a machine (one sensor type) and translates that into an analysis of throughput, downtime, machine health, product quality, and other useful metrics in real time, with no human based AI training. It also helps reduce both machine energy use and scrap saving money and emissions.
Totally non-intrusive, like a smartwatch measuring a pulse, Amperon's AI-powered FactoryOps platform empowers manufacturers to swiftly improve productivity and profit across their entire operations—every machine, in every factory.
The plug-and-play, AI-powered FactoryOps platform eliminates the complexity, cost, and expertise required for traditional machine monitoring and predictive maintenance.
Works with Any Machine – Unlike traditional systems that require PLC connectivity, Amperon’s solution clips onto any machine, including legacy equipment, without modifications or complex integration., Harnesses Machine Electricity & AI – Instead of relying on multiple IoT sensors, Amperon analyzes machine electricity consumption to detect anomalies, predict failures, and optimize operations in real time., 1-Week Installation vs. 1-Year for Traditional Systems – No need for retrofitting, IT consultants, or operator intervention—factories can start using the system immediately., Real-Time, Operator-Free Anomaly Detection – AI automatically learns machine behavior and provides actionable insights without requiring internal expertise., 60% Cheaper Than Traditional Solutions – Delivers a fast ROI in under 3 months, making it affordable and scalable for small and medium-sized manufacturers.
the core value proposition;
Amperon Technologies helps Small and Medium sized factories around the world to stay alive through driving both productivity and sustainability with a fast, affordable and no-risk approach. In fact, Amperon Technologies makes real-time machine (both modern and legacy) intelligence accessible to all factories—without complexity, high costs, or the need for internal expertise. Using a low-cost, non-intrusive single-sensor solution combined with AI, Amperon delivers precise insights into productivity, downtime, machine health, product quality, and carbon emissions. This enables factories to gain actionable intelligence quickly, without the need for expensive sensors, costly expertise, or complex modifications.
