Overcoming the pilot-to-production cost barrier with Edge AI
During pilots, you have all the resources—engineers, servers, hardware—and you'll make it work because you're putting your utmost attention on it. But when you try to replicate that across 100, 200, or 500 locations, it falls on its face.
Rewriting the Rules of Scalable Manufacturing
The project, which fused AM-driven computational design with production-grade investment casting, successfully scaled an intricately engineered part from tens to thousands per day — all without compromising performance, cost-efficiency, or sustainability.
Upgrade Your Mezzanine Flooring While Avoiding Timely and Costly Replacement
Mezzanine floors are important in many facilities. They provide extra space for storage or work without taking up more ground space. However, they often face heavy use from equipment and people. Over time, this can cause the floor to wear down.
Battery Manufacturer Cuts Scrap by 90% and Streamlines Prototyping
Lithos has now built a repeatable system through PICO to speed up prototyping, minimize losses, and ensure every change is intentional, traceable, and scalable.
From Legacy to Leadership: Building the Manufacturing Company of Today
While the idea of a greenfield smart factory is appealing, it’s simply not the reality for most companies. What they need isn’t a futuristic leap—but a practical step forward. That means modernizing existing operations to build a factory of today.
