Solutions
Fourteen outcomes Featherline delivers inside automotive Tier 1 and Tier 2 manufacturers, grouped by the function that feels the pain — operations, engineering, supply chain, customer experience, and commercial & marketing. Same product across all of them: agentic decision layer, digital twin, and agent engine.
One product
Every solution below runs on the same three capabilities. You don't buy fourteen tools — you point one product at whichever function feels the pain first.
Agents reason over MES events and surface the next correct action — the decision your team would have made, the moment the line needs it.
A live, queryable mirror of every line, asset, and OEE metric — the ground truth the agents reason over, not a nightly export.
Your plant's SOPs, KPIs, and approval gates encoded as agent workflows your team authors and edits — your logic, not a vendor template.

Read detailsOEM field failures tied back to your process parameters. Recurrence prevented at the line, not promised in a deck.
