The Opportunity

Problem

Enterprise manufacturing teams struggle to scale prototypes to high-volume production without quality drops and cost overruns.

Solution

ProdScale connects to shop floor sensors and ERP for live monitoring of scaling trials. It flags quality drifts and cost spikes instantly, with alerts and root-cause analysis. Teams maintain standards while ramping volume efficiently.

Target Audience

Teams in enterprise manufacturing responsible for prototype development and production scaling

Differentiator

Live IoT/ERP integration focused on scale-phase monitoring, not full factory ops.
