AI strategy and governance for Wisconsin manufacturers

    Most manufacturers know AI matters and have no idea where it fits on a shop floor. We're the firm that already runs your IT, already knows your systems, and can tell you which three things are worth doing this year, and which twenty aren't.

    What this is

    This is not a project. It's an ongoing advisory relationship with two phases.

    Phase 1, Onboarding sprint

    Fixed-fee sprint

    First 30, 60 days

    • AI opportunity audit mapped to your actual workflows
    • Written AI use policy and data-handling rules for your staff
    • Vendor evaluation framework
    • Staff training
    • First 1, 2 use cases built and live

    Phase 2, Ongoing advisory

    Monthly retainer

    12-month minimum

    • Monthly strategy session
    • New use cases scoped and deployed as they earn their place
    • Governance and policy updates as regulation moves
    • Vendor and tooling reviews
    • Staff training refreshers

    Why governance is the part nobody's selling you

    Your staff are already pasting company data into chatbots. You have no policy, no audit trail, and no idea what's leaving the building.

    Every AI vendor in your inbox wants to sell you a tool. Nobody's offering to tell you what's safe to do with it, or what happens when your customer asks how their drawings are being handled.

    That's the seat we sit in.

    Built for Wisconsin manufacturing

    We have direct shop-floor integration experience, CNC/DNC, FANUC controllers, Moxa serial integration, that no other MSP in Washington County brings to the table. If you run production equipment and you're being sold AI as an abstract concept, we're the firm you call.

    See our manufacturing IT services for the operational side, and how we integrate with production systems, ERP/MES, and OT networks. This advisory retainer sits on top of the same expertise.
