Problem

Manufacturing plants often rely on fragmented sources of operational knowledge—manuals, disparate systems, and undocumented expertise held by individual workers—leading to inconsistent procedures, prolonged downtime, and quality defects.

Solution

Squint provides an AI‑driven Manufacturing Intelligence platform that captures, digitizes, and centralizes tribal knowledge into an interactive, searchable knowledge library. The system automatically generates step‑by‑step SOPs from video, transcripts, and user inputs, then delivers those procedures to frontline workers through an AI‑powered Assistant that offers real‑time guidance and troubleshooting. Integrated workflow tools orchestrate task assignment, execution, and data capture across any location, while analytics surface performance trends and enable rapid, organization‑wide improvements. By connecting to existing ERP, MES, and CMMS systems via APIs, Squint enriches current technology stacks without requiring extensive re‑engineering.

Target Audience

Primary customers are large‑scale manufacturers, plant operations teams, and maintenance organizations that need to standardize procedures, reduce downtime, and improve product quality across multiple sites.
