Before you hire an AI consultant, find out where you stand.
Zanto AI is AI consulting for manufacturers, and it begins with a score, not a pitch. The free Manufacturing AI Readiness Pulse shows how ready your manufacturing plant is for AI and automation in every area, and names the three that will slow you down first. 25 questions, about 15 minutes, no login.
What does an AI consultant for a manufacturer actually do?
A good one finds out what your operation can support before recommending a tool. That is the order we work in: measure the starting point, name the gaps, then decide what to build or buy. Every level of our work uses the same method and the same 0–5 scale, so a score in the free Pulse means the same thing in a paid engagement.
Level 1 · Free Pulse
25 questions, about 15 minutes. An overall score, every area scored, your three weakest areas and a first step for each.
Level 2 · Readiness Report
$1,199, plus applicable sales tax. A 50+ page report with 70+ numbered actions, three areas you choose in depth, and your data pack.
Levels 3 to 5
Level 3, the Readiness Snapshot for a team, is $3,499, plus applicable sales tax. Available at launch · ask us → Level 4, a Private Consultation, and Level 5, your own platform, are by conversation; see them side by side.
Where does AI stall in a manufacturing operation?
In four places: the data, the connections between systems and machines, the process, and the people. A pilot finds out which one it is after the money is spent. The Pulse asks first, so you can fix the gap before you pay for the tool that falls into it.
What does the Manufacturing AI Readiness Pulse score?
Nine areas of a manufacturing plant, each scored on its own so a strong area cannot hide a weak one:
- Leadership & Value
- Process & Workflow
- OEE & Loss Capture
- Data & Context
- Connectivity (OT / IoT)
- Reporting & Decisions
- Maintenance & Quality
- People & Adoption
- AI & Automation
A score is a map, not a grade. You get it on screen and by email, and you keep it whether or not we ever speak.
How is this different from a traditional consulting study?
A traditional readiness study can take weeks before anyone sees a number. Here you can have a score today. The scoring is a fixed, documented method, not an AI model, and every paid report is reviewed by a person before it is sent. The work is designed by an operator with 30+ years across healthcare, manufacturing and other industries.
What does it cost to get started?
The Pulse is free and needs no call. If you want it in depth, the Readiness Report is $1,199, plus applicable sales tax, and requires a completed Pulse. Nothing else is needed to begin.
