AI-powered manufacturing analytics that connects to the systems you already run — CMMS, SCADA, historians, ERP, spreadsheets. Pricing in GBP. No SQL. No dashboards to maintain.
Enterprise BI platforms were built for organisations with dedicated data teams and seven-figure budgets. Generic AI tools don't speak manufacturing. The result for most UK SMEs is the same: operational data piling up across systems, and no clear way to act on it.
Sensors in the historian. Work orders in the CMMS. Quality in spreadsheets. Costs in the ERP. Nothing joins up — so nobody has the full picture.
A senior data scientist in the UK runs £70k+. For most SME engineering teams that's the whole headcount budget. So nothing happens.
Industrial AI platforms quote six-figure annual contracts before the first conversation. Finance won't sign that off — and shouldn't.
A single place where your engineering team can ask questions of your operational data in plain English — and get accurate, sourced answers with charts and tables in seconds.
“Which line had the most unplanned downtime last quarter?” “Show me bearing temperatures on pump 4 vs. last year.” “What's our top three scrap reasons by shift?” No SQL. No dashboards to build first.
OPC-UA, SQL databases, historian connectors (PI, Ignition, Aveva), CSV uploads, CMMS exports (Maximo, Limble, MaintainX, Fiix). Vendor-neutral. No rip-and-replace.
Set thresholds and anomaly rules in natural language. Get notified the moment something drifts. The system explains why it flagged.
Every answer cites the underlying records and shows its working. No black-box AI. Engineers can verify before acting.
Built for UK manufacturing reality — not a US enterprise product retro-fitted for £.
A software provider backed by real-world manufacturing engineering experience.
Customer data stored in AWS London (eu-west-2) by default. Dedicated UK-only deployment available for customers with stricter residency requirements.
Transparent monthly tiers in pounds. No currency surprises, no FX risk on renewal. Annual options for predictable budgeting.
Built knowing how UK SMEs actually run — lean teams, mixed-age plant, multiple sites, the EFQM/ISO standards engineers actually use.
Implementation work on AI-driven analytics often qualifies for UK R&D Tax Relief (subject to HMRC criteria and your accountant's assessment).
Local context for the main UK manufacturing hubs we work with.
Manufacturing analytics software collects, organises, and analyses operational data from your shop floor — sensors, SCADA, CMMS, ERP, spreadsheets — and turns it into actionable insights. Modern AI-powered platforms let engineering teams ask questions of their data in plain English without writing SQL or building dashboards first.
AWI Analytics is an AI-powered analytics platform designed for engineering and manufacturing SMEs. It connects to operational data sources and lets engineers ask questions of that data in natural language, returning sourced answers with charts and tables.
It is designed to be vendor-neutral and to work alongside the systems you already run, rather than requiring you to rip and replace. The exact set of connectors and integration approach depends on your specific stack — we cover this in a discovery call.
AWI Analytics is designed for SME-scale engagements rather than multi-quarter enterprise rollouts. A realistic scope is to have a first useful output on real data within weeks, with full operational handover inside a 90-day implementation window.
In past programme cycles, Made Smarter has supported qualifying SME manufacturers with software adoption and digital roadmaps in eligible regions. Eligibility, grant rates, and supported technology categories change each cycle — check current criteria with your regional Made Smarter team or visit madesmarter.uk.
Implementation work that involves a genuine technical advance or resolves scientific or technological uncertainty can qualify for UK R&D Tax Relief, subject to HMRC's definition and your accountant's assessment. Off-the-shelf adoption typically doesn't qualify; bespoke integration work sometimes does. Take specialist advice before claiming.
The best starting point is a 30-minute discovery call. We walk through your operational data, your priority use cases, and what realistic next steps would look like — no slides, no obligation.
