Almetra

What Almetra Does

Almetra is an AI-powered manufacturing intelligence platform that helps factory teams understand what's really happening on production lines, identify performance bottlenecks, and drive measurable improvements. Using privacy-preserving video analytics and agentic AI, Almetra captures real-time operational data, diagnoses root causes automatically, and works alongside manufacturing teams to implement sustainable solutions — all without disrupting existing production workflows.

Who It's For & The Problem It Solves

Almetra is designed for manufacturing engineers, plant managers, and operations leaders who struggle with incomplete visibility into factory performance. Many facilities have dashboards, MES systems, and OEE reports but still can't explain why performance falls short of targets. Others operate almost blind with only end-of-day output numbers. The result: engineers spend time searching instead of improving, and decisions get made on assumptions rather than evidence. Almetra bridges this gap by transforming operational reality into actionable intelligence.

Key Features & Capabilities

• Almetra Capture: Privacy-preserving video and AI continuously captures what's happening across production lines — manual work, micro-stops, real cycle times, movement patterns, and machine stoppages
• Agentic AI Intelligence Layer: Automatically detects issues, identifies root causes, and ranks the next best fixes without manual stopwatch studies or engineering time
• Factory Data Model: Creates one real-time model of how production actually runs, integrating with existing MES, PLC, and ERP systems without rip-and-replace
• Four-Step Improvement Process: Capture (see it), Diagnose (know why), Improve (fix it with dedicated CI team support), Monitor (sustain improvements with ongoing engineering support)
• Privacy-First Design: Raw video deleted immediately, processes tracked not people, GDPR-compliant, works council co-decision support

Typical Workflows & Results

Almetra deploys within weeks without disrupting production. The system identifies bottlenecks, provides root cause analysis, and helps teams implement improvements with confidence. Documented customer results include +15% productivity increase at ABB, -20% cycle time decrease at Viessmann, and +19% more capacity at Bosch — all achieved through better visibility and evidence-based decision-making rather than replacing people.

What Differentiates Almetra

Unlike traditional monitoring tools, Almetra combines comprehensive data capture with hands-on continuous improvement support. The platform works alongside teams rather than just providing dashboards. Its privacy-preserving approach addresses works council concerns upfront, and its integration capabilities add context to existing factory data rather than requiring expensive infrastructure replacement. The agentic AI layer replaces assumptions with evidence, focusing engineering effort where it matters most.
