LATEST: Aphrodite — The AI-Native Manufacturing Execution System
Real-time, AI-based control of complex manufacturing operations.
Aphrodite replaces paper travelers and disconnected tools with a unified, intelligent MES built for aerospace, defense, and advanced manufacturing.
What Aphrodite Does
Unified, Model-Based Execution
Single source of truth across design, engineering, production, and logistics
Real-time synchronization of work orders, revisions, and schedules
AI-Validated Work Execution
AI-based progress verification at every step
Automatic detection of missing, skipped, or incorrect procedures
IoT-Connected Shop Floor
Live progress tracking via connected tools, sensors, and devices
Automatic buyoffs and timestamped execution records
Work Order & Process Tracking
Digital work orders tied directly to manufacturing plans
Step-by-step execution with enforced sequencing
Integrated Quality & Inspection
Quality checks embedded directly into execution steps
Automatic “step confirmation” before progression
Voice-Enabled AI Assistant for Technicians
Aphrodite includes a voice-based LLM assistant built directly into the manufacturing workflow.
Technicians receive:
Verbal procedural guidance at each step
Context-aware troubleshooting support
AI-driven skill training and oversight
Every workstation becomes an intelligent, guided environment — reducing dependency on tribal knowledge
COMPETITORS
Manufacturers building complex, regulated systems still rely on:
Paper travelers and manual signoffs
Disconnected engineering, production, and quality systems
Limited real-time visibility into work progress
Tribal knowledge trapped in experienced technicians
THE RESULT
Errors slip through unnoticed
Engineering changes propagate late
Scaling production increases risk instead of reducing it
