Foreman is built for automotive Tier 1 and Tier 2 manufacturers, starting with Malaysian plants where MES is already in place but the decisions still come out of Monday meetings.
Who we work with
Tier 1
When the contract margin is thin and the OEM's quality bar is non-negotiable, OEE recovery time is the metric that decides the next quarter. Foreman collapses the loop from anomaly to corrective action.
Tier 2
Mixed-model lines, frequent SKU changeovers, fewer engineers per square meter. Foreman multiplies the engineers you have, handling the data prep, root-cause hunt, and recommendation drafting they do today by hand.
Where it lands
Production
Catch line bottlenecks before the shift handover. Foreman's agent watches OEE in real time, surfaces the right root cause, and proposes the corrective action your team would have taken, without waiting for Monday.
Maintenance
We don't replace your CMMS. We make it smarter, by correlating asset signals across your historian and surfacing 'this is worth a maintenance ticket' moments before the line stops.
Quality
Pair quality reports with upstream process data. Foreman explains which station, which shift, which setting drove the spike, and writes the corrective-action draft for your engineer to review.
Plant leadership
Replace the Monday deck. Foreman assembles a plant-wide review every morning (OEE, top losses, top actions taken, top decisions pending) and sends it to leadership before standup.
Why Malaysia first
Malaysian automotive plants (Tier 1, Tier 2, joint-ventures with global OEMs and local champions) operate with the same engineering rigour as anywhere in the world, on tighter margins and with leaner teams.
Aesthon Labs was built locally, sells locally, and supports locally. The first pilots run on plants we can walk into. The first product decisions get made with the engineers who actually run the line.
