Our story

This is the era of AI and the “industrial internet” – complex systems that can help huge factories run at peak efficiency. But that’s for the elite one percent of manufacturers. What about the rest?

Guidewheel’s plug-and-play FactoryOps platform is built to empower all the world’s factories to reach sustainable peak performance. Good for business, good for the planet.

Guidewheel’s plug-and-play FactoryOps platform turns the real-time “heartbeat” of any machine into a connected, actively learning system for continuous improvement. Sensors clip on any machine, and an intuitive cloud-based app gives the whole team instant visibility and insights. APIs will allow a developer ecosystem to add even more value to the whole community.

Founded out of Stanford University, Guidewheel went through Stanford’s Launchpad as well as top accelerator StartX. Guidewheel’s product has been recognized with prizes from Stanford and MIT, and the team brings both manufacturing expertise and success building world-class cloud software at scale. Guidewheel has expanded quickly to 100+ plants across Mexico, East Africa, and the USA.

Accelerating Impact

Guidewheel is a continuous learning system. The more you and your team use it, the faster the system learns and improves. And as you add more machines and information, the system learns even faster.

Easy to test with a few machines and expand to more equipment and locations.
