I'd suggest not doing this.

What you're doing is not novel. You have a much better chance if you focus e.g. food and beverage.

There's many reasons but your setup will go smoother, GTM will be easier and you will get higher NPS. You will also have the opportunity to develop novel aspects.

We are indeed focusing - my comments regarding other areas where my personal thoughts on the above question and not Cerrion's strategy.
I was going to say this seems best as a packaged solution + consulting/setup fee. I could see this working in fast-food assembly stations as well, but may have more variance with human element.

Also could add on an analysis component of "study my flow and quantify potential jam points".

We are more in the mode of "deploy cerrion at your most critical production vantage points and we tell you when, why and where deviations happen". This mode doesn't require any consulting, because that every manufacturer knows their critical points and our tech doesn't need manual customization. We will focus on processes where this is always applicable and consulting is not needed to be able to achieve fast growth.

The analysis of quantifying potential jams points and surfacing targeted improvement areas is smth we are already working on given that this can be done automatically in the customers dashboard by running some correlation analysis on our detections
