✨ What a Day in Detroit! ✨ Yesterday, we had the privilege of connecting with some of the most forward-thinking manufacturing leaders at Kearney's LIFT Center in Detroit. The room was buzzing with excitement as companies like Dart Container, Oakwood, Teknor Apex Company, and more joined us to discuss how Guidewheel can help unlock full-factory visibility and drive real results. Special thanks to incredible customers including General Motors, Uncle Ray's Potato Chips and Snacks's, and Delaco Steel Corporation for sharing your enthusiasm and success stories. It’s inspiring to hear how Guidewheel delivers impact across your operations! Hearing the different use cases from yesterday's attendees reinforced how universal this challenge is and how much opportunity there is to make every factory a part of the digital era. The energy in the room was contagious, and we’re thrilled to see so many companies eager to put Guidewheel to the test in their own facilities. 📊 This journey is about empowering manufacturers to do more with what they already have, and today was another big step forward. Let’s keep the momentum going! #ManufacturingInnovation #FactoryVisibility

Imagine starting with a bold idea: using energy management to make manufacturing more sustainable. Then, imagine testing that idea, realizing it wasn’t quite right, and pivoting to something even bigger—helping factories improve production efficiency while seamlessly tracking sustainability. That’s exactly what Lauren Dunford, CEO and co-founder of Guidewheel, did. She started with a mission to combat climate change through energy management for factories. Early customer feedback revealed a greater need: improving production efficiency. Adapting to this insight, Lauren and her team created Guidewheel—a "Fitbit for factories" that provides real-time visibility and analytics for factory operations. Using non-intrusive sensors to monitor equipment's electrical activity, Guidewheel detects patterns and anomalies to help factories reduce downtime, optimize productivity, and enhance energy efficiency. With hundreds of customers worldwide, Guidewheel’s AI-powered platform enables manufacturers to achieve net-zero emissions and sustainable performance. Their work has earned recognition as a Tech Pioneer by the World Economic Forum and even a spotlight at Davos 2024. Recently, Lauren was selected as a Fellow for the Unreasonable Impact Americas program (https://lnkd.in/ejS9PUWA), a collaborative initiative with Barclays, dedicated to scaling growth-stage businesses tackling global challenges.

🚀 Maximizing Uptime, Minimizing Unplanned Downtime 🚀 At Guidewheel, we know that not all uptime is created equal. That’s why our focus is on helping manufacturers make the most of bottleneck equipment—the heart of production where small uptime gains can drive massive improvements in overall throughput. As we always say, you can't manage what you don't measure. Within just days of installing a Guidewheel scoreboard our customers tell us: ✨They gain real-time visibility into machine performance right where it matters most—on the floor. ✨The scoreboards empower operators with an intuitive interface to track performance, code issues accurately, and configure alerts for rapid responses to problems. ✨By showing real-time data, they help teams make informed adjustments to stay on track and reduce unplanned downtime.
