DARVIO · AI adoption consulting
Before any AI goes in,your data is where we start
Setting out the floor’s data and its decision criteria — that is the work itself.
If you need to catch cost leaks right now, that’s a different route (Profit OS).
Why consulting first
Same plant — so why do the answers differ?
- Temperature, vibration, sound
- A veteran’s instinct
- Outside the system
- ERP, MES, reports
- Outcome metrics
- Inside the system
This disconnect is what creates loss for the business.
What previous diagnostics actually turned up
We find what the plant didn’t know about itself
What follows is not an improvement plan — it is the facts left in hand when the diagnostic finished.
- B2B ODM manufacturer
All twelve root parameters in the cost calculation turned out to be arbitrary values
The same class of warning appeared 423 times across the file. Quotes went out with nobody knowing those values were arbitrary.
- B2B ODM manufacturer
25.3% of the total cost on a single job derived from those arbitrary values
That doesn’t mean the numbers were wrong — it means nobody could trace where the evidence ended and the assumption began.
- Large food manufacturer
Closed historical costs were being rewritten in later versions
Of 36,293 order lines present in both versions, 7,660 had a different production unit cost. Not one order quantity had changed.
- B2B ODM manufacturer
Materials making up 96.0% of purchase value moved more than 10% in price over 26 months
Yet the material price used in quotes hadn’t been updated in over a year.
The figures are what each diagnostic observed. They differ by plant, and they are what we found — not money we recovered. Company names are given only as industry and size.
How the tiers stack
One AI diagnosis, different levels of consultant involvement
Every engagement starts from the same DARVIO AI diagnosis. You only choose how much consulting goes on top.
