Artificial Intelligence in Manufacturing

Avathon accelerates digital transformation for the world’s leading manufacturers in process, discrete, and batch operations. Our AI platform provides predictive maintenance, process optimization, and prescriptive actions that increase throughput, reduce costs, and save energy.

Accelerate your digital transformation with AI

Manufacturing requires you to adapt effectively to evolving conditions in your plant. But much of the current factory tech stack is fragmented, dated, proprietary, and siloed. Legacy frontline systems are struggling to keep pace with widespread industry challenges like skilled labor shortages, regulatory compliance, supply-chain issues, and surging demand.

Avathon’s platform provides end-to-end visibility and captures real-time insights to enable predictive maintenance and prescriptive actions that optimize throughput and reduce unnecessary strain on your resources. Realize the transformative power of artificial intelligence in manufacturing—by harnessing the power of data you already have.

Unlock the power of AI in manufacturing

Leveraging deep manufacturing industry knowledge, Avathon unlocks the power of AI in manufacturing at scale so you can leap ahead of your competitors held back by fragmented and dated legacy systems.

A fortune 50 beverage manufacturer saw production efficiency increase by up to 5%, averting nearly $1M in maintenance costs through a single plant deployment.

Our AI-native tech stack supports rapid deployment with a fit-for-purpose modular approach that enables you to select a product configuration that delivers superior ROI vs. existing MES, APM, and PdM offerings in today’s industrial automation ecosystem. With proven applications for AI in manufacturing, Avathon helps data-rich, but insight-poor operators find actionable insights to accelerate their digital transformation.

Allen also served as Deputy Commander of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), where he helped oversee strategic security across the Middle East and Central Asia. Earlier, as the principal director of Asia-Pacific policy in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, he helped shape U.S. regional policy, including involvement in the Six-Party Talks on North Korea.

He is currently a Strategic Advisor to Microsoft and a member of its Advisory Council, a Senior Fellow at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab, a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a permanent member of the Council on Foreign Relations. He previously served as President of the Brookings Institution (2017–2022).

A published author and thought leader in emerging technology and global security, General Allen co-authored Turning Point: Policymaking in the Era of Artificial Intelligence and Future War and the Defence of Europe. He is also a co-inventor of several AI-related patents and advises technology startups.
