Forward Deployed Engineers

We send you engineers with AI.

A Patok person steps into your operation, sets everything up and stays with you. You keep producing.

Limited places. Horacio runs the first accounts himself.

Why people

AI already knows. Someone has to bring it to your plant.

Anyone can open a chat. The hard part is understanding why your process fails, connecting what you already have and checking what the AI proposes before it reaches the floor. Your team has no time for that. That is why we come.

What we solve

Start where it hurts most.

Your engineer works with Patok's tools and picks what your problem needs. You do not have to know which.

Patok Lab

I have a part and need to know how to make it

Parametric CAD, drawing, mold, CNC or robot program, simulation and a shopping list with prices seen.

Patok Gemba

My floor runs on paper and WhatsApp groups

Your people capture with a QR on the machine: stops with a reason, OEE and work in process, live. No sensors or PLC.

Patok Office plan with chains and stations

Patok Office

The office stops the line over a document

Each station with its files, owner and deadline. It starts with your e-mail and a CSV. Your ERP stays untouched.

Patok Cognitive

My deliveries and inventory fail and I do not know why

A memo in your inbox with what changed, read from your data. With actions, not one more dashboard.

What you get

The document you are asked for when you propose a process.

Process sheet, exact tooling, acceptance criteria and shopping list, in one manufacturing package. It also says what was not proven: the first article decides.

How you start

Start with one process.

01

You pick what hurts most

Half an hour with Horacio: what you make, what gets stuck and what you want out of it. That sets the scope and the quote.

02

An engineer sets it up

Starting from what you already have: a spreadsheet, your ERP, e-mail or a part. On site when needed, remote the rest.

03

They stay with you

They deliver what was agreed and review it with you every month. If it works, the next process follows.

How we work

What you can expect.

You buy scope, not hours
We agree on what gets delivered, not on how long someone stays online.
AI proposes, the engineer checks
What goes to a machine is verified first. What was not verified is said.
We work with your people
We do not come to replace anyone. Whoever wants to learn the method does it in Academy.
We do not promise before we see
The result depends on your process. We look first, then we tell you what is possible and what is not.

What people always ask.

How much does it cost?
It is quoted for your process: one monthly fee with your engineer and only the tools your problem needs. We tell you after the first conversation.
Is it a person or an AI agent?
A Patok person, working with AI.
Do I have to buy Gemba or Office?
Only if your problem needs it. Your engineer uses what it takes, and that can be a single tool.
Do I have to change my ERP?
No. We start with what it already knows how to send: a CSV by e-mail.

Let us start where it hurts most.

Half an hour, no commitment. There are few places.
