Sense. Plan. Execute.
The Manufacturing Intelligence Platform.

Manufacturing runs on disconnected systems. 70% of CI programs fail to sustain. Planners spend 65% of their time on data, not decisions. Inspectors catch 85% on a good day. SME-Empowerment closes these gaps one platform that senses, plans, and executes in a closed loop.

Manufacturing Runs on Disconnected Systems. It Doesn't Have To.

Our ERP stores transactions. Your quality system records non-conformances. Your planning team rebuilds the forecast in Excel every Monday. None of these systems talk to each other. And none of them close the loop.

Layer 1 SENSE

Manvis · The Sensing Layer

Reads the work in footage you already record. Returns a value-added time study, a TWI standard, and a 5S score, each with the evidence attached.

Layer 2 PLAN

Asireon AI Planning System

Three AI agents replace the manual S&OP cycle forecasting demand, scheduling production, and managing materials. Continuously. Not monthly.

Layer 3 EXECUTE

EmpowerOps Daily Management System

Turns plans and findings into owned tasks, structured routines, and accountable action.

Three Products. One Integrated Platform.

EXECUTE

EmpowerOps

Daily Management System

Turn standard work from intention into evidence. Task management, leader standard work, tier meetings, forms, CAPA, and dashboards in one system.

Companies report 80%+ improvement in compliance follow-through in early deployments.

PLAN

Asireon

Autonomous AI Planning System

Replace the manual S&OP cycle. Three AI agents Demand, Supply, and Material that plan continuously, adapt in real time, and execute without the committee.

AI-augmented planning delivers 15-30% MAPE improvement within 12 months.

SENSE

Manvis

AI Vision System

Time studies, TWI standard operating procedures, 5S scoring and standard-work checks, produced from footage you already have.

A study that costs an engineer two to five days by hand takes hours, on every station you have footage for rather than the handful anyone had time to measure.

The Power Is in the Connection

Point solutions produce reports. Integrated systems produce action.

  • a box filled with lots of wrenches and other tools
  • Pliers and a wrench interacting with metal parts.
  • Old industrial machinery with rust and debris

Closed Loop Example

1

Manvis flags a deviation from the standard

On the receiving dock, at 04:18 in the footage.

2

Non-conformance auto-created in EmpowerOps

Assigned to the quality lead with a 48-hour deadline.

3

CAPA tracked to closure

Evidence, root cause, and corrective action documented.

4

Pattern analyzed over time

Defect recurrence is prevented, not just detected.

Without this connection:

Finding recorded, written in a log, sometimes escalated, eventually investigated, root cause forgotten.
