Flow engineering.
Powered by AI.
From the plant to the experiment. One story, macro to micro: every module answers a question your process needs solved. Start free with Flow Fundamentals.
Start from your question.
The Academy is not a row of courses. It is one track from macro to micro: from understanding the plant as a system to learning from a single experiment. Enter through the question you bring.

Choose your entry point.
From free fundamentals to full enablement for your team. Every track ends in concrete action.
Open Track
The basics of flow engineering: WIP, throughput, lead time, queues and variability. A common language for your team.
Scientific AI for Manufacturing
Learn scientific AI by actually using it: frame the problem, understand your data, learn from experiments, optimize and work with scientific context. With Patok Lab as the instrument.
Advanced Industrial AI
Specialized modules on AI applied to manufacturing: visibility, optimization, documentation, data analysis and industrial assistants.
Academy for Business
Training for industrial teams + an executive session to prioritize AI opportunities on the shop floor, in your data or in the back office.
🏭 Gemba Walk, in-depth diagnostics and pilots are quoted separately.
Not sure which one to pick?
Macro to micro. One story.
Every module answers a real question, from the plant to the experiment. Complete the track to earn the full certification.
Why do we start with physical labels?
Physical Flow Adoption
Onboarding module for customers in a pilot. Learn to sync the physical shop floor with the digital one through QR codes, zones and actions.
Why doesn't my plant flow?
Flow Fundamentals
Production control with Factory Physics. Little's Law, Kingman, WIP, throughput and the science behind operational chaos.
How do I see what happens at every node?
AI Plant Visibility
Data capture and interpretation at every production node. Turn shop-floor signals into actionable information with artificial intelligence.
Which experiment do I run next?
Scientific AI for Manufacturing
Frame the problem, understand your data, learn from experiments, optimize and work with scientific context. With Patok Lab as the instrument, on your machine.
How do I control the office's invisible flow?
Industrial Office Flow
Lean Office, AVSM, records management, tax materiality and document AI applied to the processes and case files that hold the plant together.
How do I scale operational intelligence?
Industrial AI Assistants
Cognitive assistant architecture: prompting, ReAct, multi-agent, skills, Human-in-the-Loop and the Industrial Decision Memo.
Micro-certs per module.

In collaboration with
Sociedad Mexicana de Materiales
The Industrial AI modules are developed together with the SMM as part of its continuing education program.
Start with Module 1.
Flow Fundamentals takes you from understanding the problem to implementing flow control. All you need is the will to improve your plant.
