The Value Stream
The backbone and context layer — your operation in an interactive model. Flows, buffers, and constraints are visible at every level, so you can see how your process actually works.
Manufacturing-Native AI
The way you run your factory is about to get a whole lot clearer.
Your data is scattered. Your visibility is partial. And improvement is a
grind.
Threaded is the connective layer that unlocks visibility and
improvement — and AI that works to help you scale.
One model. Full visibility. AI that Works.
Your processes, modeled.
Your factory isn't a flat diagram — it's a complex system of flows, constraints, and dependencies. Threaded models it that way. Navigate from factory down to individual operations in an interactive, versioned graph that reflects how your operation actually runs. It's a value stream map for modern manufacturing.
Your data, in context.
Whatever you're running today — ERP, MES, spreadsheets — keep it. Threaded maps your operational data onto the value stream so metrics roll up automatically. One model. Full picture. Because you can't improve what you can't see.
AI that works.
With Threaded, AI can navigate factory complexity, tracing issues, identifying constraints, and suggesting improvements. Then it goes further: automating reporting, analytics, and the digital work that doesn't build product — so your team can focus on what does. Because AI has the full context of your operation, what it can do grows with you.
Built by people who've launched factories. Here's how we work with you.
Threaded is built from factory experience leading and ramping production with companies like Caterpillar, Tesla, Rivian, Carbon, Adidas and more — combined with deep expertise in data science, enterprise software, and applied AI.
1
Map your value stream
Model your operation and define objectives for launch, ramp, or efficiency.
2
Connect your data
ERP, spreadsheets, machines, shift reports — we start with what you've got, and establish your baseline
3
Go after what's costing you
Highest-impact problems first. We'll deploy or build AI-powered tools to solve them.
4
Scale what works
Improvements become repeatable — across lines, shifts, and facilities. Threaded stays with you as you continuously improve.
Industrial Engineering — Scaled with AI.
Simple, powerful, AI-powered tools for the factory that your team can use from day one.
Living Work Instructions
The source code for production. Simple to create and maintain, with images, video, linking, and AI-assisted review and authoring.
Process Planning
The math behind the process. Cycle times, balancing, and constraints — modeled against your operation to engineer capacity instead of guess at it.
Built-In Controls
Track changes, collaborate, and approve, all in context, with audit trails built into the workflow, not bolted on. Compliance isn't the task — it's a byproduct.
Operational Dashboards
Pull from any source — ERP, MES, even spreadsheets. AI creates your dashboards and sticks around to help you read them.
Training & competency
Training tied to the process, not a binder on a shelf. Sign off operators, track who trained them and when, and see your competency matrix in real time — so you can onboard faster, build quality in, and keep people engaged.
Manufacturing-native AIthat helps you scale
AI needs the same three things as humans to scale: context, feedback,
and the ability to take action. In Threaded, context comes from the
value stream, feedback comes from the plan vs. the actual, and
purpose-built tools let your team and AI take action — with humans
always in control.
The goal isn't AI for its own sake. It's the same goal it's always been:
eliminate waste and make value flow. Threaded is built from factory experience
and the tools of Industrial Engineering like Lean, TPS, and TOC to help
you do just that. That structure is what makes AI manufacturing-native,
not the other way around.
AI is not the point — it's the how. And it's how every capability scales
together.
