Description:

As simple as a smartwatch to clip on, Guidewheel's AI-powered FactoryOps platform empowers manufacturers to swiftly improve productivity and profit across their entire operations—every machine, in every factory. Totally non-intrusive, like a smartwatch measuring a pulse, Guidewheel’s AI and software detect from the machine’s electrical heartbeat how fast any machine is running, the second it started or stopped, and even when it’s starting to get stressed out and might have a problem soon. Then, layers of additional sensors and functionality provide more and more value towards profits and even sustainability goals—while keeping the user experience simple, modular, and scalable. And with every machine, user, and factory added to the system, Guidewheel’s FactoryOps platform gets smarter and more valuable for everyone else. Guidewheel was founded out of Stanford University and is already successful with hundreds of manufacturers—reporting an average of 40% runtime improvement—with results featured in IndustryWeek and selection by the World Economic Forum as a Tech Pioneer, one of the companies most likely to have a significant impact on business and society. Guidewheel’s vision is to become the real-time intelligence layer and platform that empowers all the world’s 10 million factories to reach sustainable peak performance. And by doing so it will not only be a generational, category-defining company, but also have a significant global impact on climate change.
