We Didn't Start in a Server Room. We Started on the Shop Floor.

IRIS was born from a decade of running production lines in automotive — not from a whiteboard in Silicon Valley.

Where It Started

Three Perspectives. One Broken System.

We came from different corners of industry — a CEO, an AI engineer, and a manufacturer — and kept running into the same wall: factories drowning in data but starving for insight.

A CEO running global production

Who lived through digital chaos — data trapped in silos, consultants delivering slide decks that never became action.

An AI engineer from Nvidia's ecosystem

Who saw what technology could truly deliver — and watched it get misapplied, oversold, and under-deployed in industry.

A German industrial manufacturer

Who knew the mid-market reality: tight budgets, legacy equipment, and zero tolerance for tools that don't work on day one.

So We Built the Tool We Wished We Had.

We left corporate careers — not as consultants advising from the sidelines, but as builders creating the platform we knew manufacturing needed. We started with spreadsheets, evolved to custom tools, and ultimately engineered IRIS: a unified operating system for the entire plant. Our journey spans from Harvard's halls to automotive production lines in Poland, and now to the manufacturing heartland of the Carolinas.
