Over 60% of manufacturing problems are still human-related. Manual operations and method—remains the hardest to scale.

The Last Unsolved Manufacturing Problem

Problem Statement

When scale up or launch a new line, failures almost always trace back to people and processes.

✗ New operators lack instinctive expertise
✗ Supervisors miss golden line judgment
✗ Engineers can’t replicate IE expertise
✗ Tribal knowledge leaves with veterans
✗ SOPs don’t reflect reality
✗ Training takes too long, varies wildly
✗ Quality issues from unmeasured soft skills

Bold Statement

HOP is the first platform designed to capture, standardize, and scale human operational excellence—the “Man” and “Method” of 4M1E.

Three Layers. One Complete System.

HOP isn’t just a software. It’s a complete architectural approach to making human excellence repeatable. Every layer is designed to work together.

The Foundation Layer: Industrial-Grade Infrastructure

Everything great manufacturing systems need to work reliably at scale.

Integration & API Gateway

Seamlessly connects HOP with your existing MES, ERP, IoT sensors, and quality systems. Open API means HOP fits into your ecosystem, not the other way around.

Central Data Repository

Single source of truth for all production knowledge. Every work step, cycle time, defect, and solution stored securely and accessible instantly.

Security & Access Control

On premise computing and enterprise-grade security with role-based access. Your golden line knowledge is protected with the highest standards.

Edge Computing

Real-time AI processing at the edge. No cloud dependency means faster response and complete data sovereignty.

Production Dashboard

Unified view across all lines and locations. Compare performance against your golden standard in real-time.

Production Replay

Rewind production to any moment to see exactly what happened—invaluable for training and troubleshooting.

Operator Station & Digital Work Instructions

The frontline interface where operators interact with HOP. Always-current instructions and real-time guidance at every station.

The Intelligence Layer: AI That Learns Your Excellence

HOP becomes your golden line expert. Two forms of AI work together to capture both visible operations and invisible expertise.

Visual Intelligence

AI sees what your best people DO.

Watches, learns, and understands manual operations through AI vision.

Expert Intelligence

Expert Intelligence knows what your best people KNOW. 

Captures, understands, and deploys the tribal knowledge and expertise that lives in documents, conversations, and experience.

The Modules Layer: Purpose-Built Tools That Solve Real Problems

Modules turn raw capabilities of Visual Intelligence and Expert Intelligence into focused solutions for all scaling challenges.

See How HOP Captures Your Golden Line

The best way to understand HOP is to see how it would work with your specific processes. We’ll show you exactly how the three layers work together to scale your excellence.

A Platform That Grows With You

HOP joins your production as early and as easily as possible. With a modular architecture built for land-and-expand, you can:

  • Land Early: Deploy HOP with granular architecture—no additional servers required. Start small and prove value on a single line before expanding
  • Scale Strategically: Expand at your pace. HOP offers complete flexibility as you grow across lines and locations, with token-based pricing that charges only as you use
  • Integrate Seamlessly: Open APIs connect to your existing tech stack
  • Customize Effortlessly: Vision Logic Blocks and configurable workflows adapt to your specific processes

Why HOP?

HOP vs. Others

WHAT OTHERS OFFER
WHAT HOP DELIVERS
MES Systems: Report what happened (after the fact)
Real-time Prevention + Historical Analysis: Catch problems as they happen, understand why they happened
Static SOPs: Documents that operators ignore
Living Knowledge Base: Documentation that adapts and deploys automatically
Training Programs: Slow, expensive, inconsistent results
Continuous Learning System: Every operator learns from every expert's experience
AOI Systems: See problems, but don't understand context
Contextual Intelligence: AI that understands your specific processes and history
Consultants: Leave, taking knowledge with them
Permanent Expertise: Organizational knowledge that never leaves

HOP Delivers Value Across Your Organization

  • For Global Management

    Scale your operations without losing productivity

    When your best line can't be replicated, expansion becomes a profit drain. Resources get trapped in underperforming facilities, productivity drops across locations, and losses multiply globally. Stop letting failed scale-up cost you millions.

  • For Factory Managers

    Golden line performance without golden line experience

    Manage new lines to the same standard as your best line. HOP gives you the visibility, alerts, and guidance to maintain excellence even with newer teams.

  • For Industrial Engineers

    Your best line's secrets, decoded and deployable

    No more guessing what makes the golden line special. HOP captures every nuance and helps you replicate it systematically.
