Industries — industrial manufacturing and equipment

AI built for environments that break other tools.

Fabrication, heavy equipment manufacture, and industrial service are defined by scale, complexity, and physical intensity. Workflows span months. Components are massive and often custom.

The cost of the gap

Downtime is expensive. Lost expertise is worse.

The measured cost of the gap across fabrication, equipment build, and service.

$260k/hr

Unplanned downtime

Unplanned downtime costs manufacturers up to $260,000 an hour — and 82% have been hit at least once in three years.

The work

Skilled work, at a scale that resists documentation.

The workforce is experienced and the cost of an error — in rework, schedule delay, or a structural defect — is enormous. Meanwhile the most experienced people are retiring, and much of what they know has never been written down. Visor captures that knowledge from the experts using it on the job, then puts it in front of the next person.

Weld quality, surface finish, and dimensional conformance are checked with visual AI at the source. Multi-step build sequences and joinery procedures reach the shop floor version-locked. Weld records, dimensional inspection logs, and build travellers assemble as the work is performed.

For teams servicing installed equipment, the same platform retrieves the right manual or prior resolution instantly, and connects a technician to a specialist who can see exactly what they see.

Compliance

Quality records that match the build.

Visor supports ISO 9001 quality management, ISO 3834 welding quality requirements, and classification society standards from DNV, Lloyd’s, and ABS, with automated weld records, dimensional inspection logs, and audit-ready traceability.
