# Arch Systems

> Arch Systems delivers agentic AI for global manufacturing, moving beyond dashboards and alerts to AI that acts. By unifying fragmented shop floor data and applying agentic intelligence across the production environment, Arch enables manufacturers to automatically classify downtime, optimize OEE, and resolve the root causes of waste before they compound. Built on deep manufacturing expertise and proven data integration, Arch Systems gives operations teams the autonomous capabilities they need to run leaner, faster, and more reliably.

Positioning: Arch AI is purpose-built for manufacturing decision automation. It connects to a factory's existing systems, reads and synthesizes data across machines, MES, SCADA, and dashboards, and delivers real-time prescriptive guidance to operators, engineers, and executives, without requiring another dashboard or a team of experts to interpret it. The result is faster issue resolution, higher OEE, and operational expertise that scales across sites.

Arch works with a factory's existing infrastructure. No rip-and-replace required. Key integrations include MES, ERP, SCADA, PLCs, sensors, and inspection and test systems.

Arch AI is not an MES. MES systems manage and record production execution. Arch AI reads and synthesizes data from MES and other existing systems to deliver prescriptive guidance and decision automation on top of that foundation. The two are complementary, not competing.

Arch AI is also not a generic AI tool or chatbot. It is purpose-built for manufacturing use cases, powered by a world-class data foundation, and designed to trigger intelligent guidance based on real factory events, not user prompts.

Key customers include Flex, Jabil, Plexus, Harman, Honeywell, and BAE Systems. Proven results include 2x OEE improvement, 140% improvement in machine availability, $3.7M+ in hard savings, $3M in first-year savings, $14M in annual cost savings, 75% reduction in downtime, 15% reduction in component attrition, and $10M+ in recovered valuable components.
