Forging press line on an auto-component plant floor
Industries

Built for plants across industries.

Stamped is built for auto-component, steel and cement plants, and the same four areas apply in pharma and chemical plants. Each page below explains what Stamped looks at there.

Across industries

Every plant loses efficiency in the same four places.

A forge, a kiln, a melt shop and a granulation suite look nothing alike, but the losses sit in the same places: a process setting that has drifted, a batch that goes wrong without anyone noticing in time, a plan that breaks mid-shift, and a stop or slow drift that maintenance hears about too late, with energy running through all four. What changes from one industry to the next is which signals matter, so Stamped's models learn your plant's own processes from its own history before recommending anything.

By industry and area

What the four areas mean in each industry.

Energy is counted in all four.

By industry

Where Stamped looks in each industry.

Stamped looks across process, quality, planning and maintenance in each of them, with energy counted in all four. Our first deployments are in auto components.

FAQ

Questions plant leaders ask about industries

Which industries does Stamped work with?

We are starting with forging, heat-treatment and machining plants that supply OEMs, where a single rejection can cost far more than the part itself. In steel, cement, pharma and chemicals we start the same way, with a site survey on your floor and a written read-out of where we would begin.

Is it the same product in every industry?

The approach is the same, because every plant loses efficiency in process, quality, planning and maintenance, but the models learn from your own plant's data, so what Stamped looks at in a kiln is different from what it looks at in a forge.

Do we need new hardware, or another system next to MES, ERP and SCADA?

No hardware retrofit is needed to get started, because Stamped is software that works with the systems you already run. It is not another MES or CMMS: your MES, ERP and SCADA are where the data comes from, and Stamped works alongside them. Stamped brings their data onto one timeline, so they finally work as one picture of the plant.

How do we start?

We start with a site survey, which means a few days on your floor and a written read-out of where efficiency is being lost and what we would change first. If it makes sense, that is followed by a paid pilot on one line for eight to twelve weeks, and the first finding usually comes within about two weeks.
