Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of an AI Readiness Assessment for manufacturers?

Our AI Readiness Assessment evaluates your factory’s current systems, data, and workflows to identify high-impact, feasible AI opportunities, such as predictive maintenance, quality control automation, or smarter production scheduling. It ensures you pursue the right use cases with the highest ROI, while minimizing operational disruption and risk.

What manufacturing processes are best suited for AI?

Processes with high volumes of data and repetitive tasks are ideal for AI. Common examples include equipment maintenance (predictive maintenance), quality inspection (visual defect detection), production scheduling, energy management, and inventory optimization. If you’re collecting sensor or process data, there’s a strong opportunity to unlock value with AI.

What does the assessment process involve?

The assessment process involves three steps:

  • Information Gathering – We interview your ops, engineering, and IT leaders, and review documents like SOPs, maintenance logs, and ERP data to understand your current plant operations.

  • Analysis and Prioritization – We identify and rank AI use cases based on feasibility, expected ROI, and fit with your manufacturing objectives.

  • Executive Summary and Readout – We present clear findings and next steps in a collaborative session, showing exactly where and how to move forward with AI in your factory.


What expertise does BetterEngineer bring to the table?

We unite experts in industrial engineering, data science, and business strategy, allowing us to quickly identify high-impact opportunities for AI on your shop floor. Our multidisciplinary approach ensures recommendations that work in the real world, not just on paper. From strategic assessments to successful solution deployment, we’re proven partners for manufacturers seeking to lead in the new era of smart factories.

How long does it take to complete the assessment, and what deliverables can I expect?

The assessment timeline varies based on the complexity of your operation and the specific needs of the engagement. On average, assessments take 4-6 weeks to complete. At the end of the process, you'll receive a report and presentation tailored for leadership. These deliverables will include a summary of key findings, actionable insights, and clear recommendations for your next steps, ensuring you have a strategic roadmap to move forward effectively.
