How a mid-market manufacturer built the data infrastructure needed to compete in the AI era — in 90 days.
The Challenge
A precision parts manufacturer with $400M in revenue was managing production planning, quality control, and inventory across 47 Excel models maintained by two analysts. AI adoption was impossible without a foundation — no data warehouse, no APIs, no governance framework.
Our Approach
Voltican executed a 90-day AI Readiness Sprint: data warehouse on Snowflake, automated ETL pipelines replacing spreadsheet processes, and a real-time OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) dashboard. In phase two, we layered predictive quality models that identify defect likelihood before a part enters final assembly.
