Practical AI for your business
Put your company’s knowledge to work.
METR connects AI assistants to your existing systems, operational data and staff knowledge. We start with one concrete task that is genuinely useful, then grow from what we learn together.
Where the time goes
Good knowledge, hard to reach.
-
Knowledge held by a few people
The fix for a recurring fault lives in one technician’s head. When they are away, so is the answer.
-
Repetitive work
Reports are copied by hand, the same questions are answered again and again, and the same checks are repeated every shift.
-
Disconnected systems
PLC, SCADA, spreadsheets and email each hold part of the picture. Nobody sees all of it at once.
Minimum viable collaboration
Start small. Prove it. Then grow.
One task, delivered and in use, before anything larger is decided.
-
Pick one task
Something concrete and useful, agreed with the people who do the work.
-
Deliver and learn
We put it into use and watch what actually helps.
-
Expand on what we see
We extend only where the observed value justifies it.
How it works
Three phases, with people in charge.
-
Build usable company knowledge
We bring together documents, data and the know-how of your staff, so the assistant can find and explain what your company already knows.
Your people ask and verify.
-
AI suggests, people decide
The assistant proposes next steps. Your staff evaluate every suggestion and carry out all actions themselves.
Your people evaluate and execute.
-
AI acts within agreed limits
The assistant performs only the tasks you have explicitly approved, within limits agreed in advance. Staff stay in control and can always operate manually.
Your people set the limits and keep manual control.
Phases are set per task. One task can be in phase 3 while another is still in phase 1, and they can run side by side.
Data and control
Your data, on your terms.
We design local AI solutions around your business, with clear agreements on data, access and operation.
-
Local when it fits
Processing can stay on site instead of leaving your premises.
-
Access by agreement
How the solution is deployed and who has access is settled with you up front.
-
Always a manual way
Your staff can operate their systems by hand at any time.
Engineering behind the assistant
Useful AI needs solid connections.
METR brings experience in automation, PLC, SCADA, IoT, embedded electronics, software and rapid prototyping, so the assistant connects to real equipment and real data.
-
AI systems
Assistants and analysis that run where the work happens.
-
Sensor integration and monitoring
Field data gathered into one clear picture.
-
Automation and industrial systems
PLC, SCADA and control, connected to the rest.
-
Embedded electronics development
Hardware and firmware for devices that must work.
-
Prototyping and product development
From idea to working prototype, quickly.
