Built for the People in the Middle
If you live between CAD and the cutting floor, this is for you. kAIsyn exists to align engineering firms, brokers, and manufacturers across CNC, laser/sheet metal, fab/weld, assembly/test, and additive so handoffs stop blowing up your schedule.
Built From the Floor Up
kAIsyn didn't come from a boardroom. It came from late nights fixing broken handoffs, hunting for the right STEP file, and rebuilding schedules after bad releases.
We design standards, templates, and dashboards that make handoffs boring. In a good way.
No more "Which rev did you build?" Just clean releases, predictable builds, and systems that scale with you.
Background
- 10+ years teaching engineering, CNC, and 3D printing
- Built and ran automation systems at a high-mix factory
- Co-founded and scaled a fabrication and job shop
- Hands-on between eng and mfg handoffs for CNC, fab, and additive
- Master's in Instructional Technology (how people actually learn systems)
- Active in robotics, makers, and modern manufacturing communities
What We Obsess Over
Clear standards. Honest data. Fewer heroics. We care about making the back office as tight as your setups. So your team spends less time firefighting and more time building.
What We Value
Flow
Jobs should move like parts through a well-tuned cell. When flow breaks, at quoting, release, or on the floor, everything backs up. We fix that flow.
Freedom
You didn't start your shop to live in email and spreadsheets. Good systems give you hours back and let your team make decisions without you in every loop.
Precision
You hold tight tolerances on parts. Your ops should do the same with data, revisions, and status. We design for repeatability, not hero moments.
Clarity
Everyone should know what's running, what's blocked, and what's next. We strip out noise and surface the few signals that matter day to day.
The kAIsyn Approach
Kaizen is continuous improvement. Most shops apply it to machines and ignore the space between engineering and manufacturing. That gap is where lead time, quality, and sanity go to die.
We start at the handoff: SRP standards, folder structures, and clean data into your CRM/ERP. Then we layer in dashboards, automations, and playbooks so the system compounds instead of sagging over time. No binders. No slide decks that never get opened. Every engagement leaves you with working templates, real numbers, and fewer "fire drill" moments.
Start With the Builder Playbooks
Before we talk software, we fix the way work flows. These playbooks are the same ones we use with clients to tighten handoffs, shorten lead time, and make SRP non-negotiable.
