What gets installed when
the data does not exist yet.
No decision holds up on data nobody captured. These are the layers Patok installs so that it exists — and only as far as it needs to go.
An operational intelligence
platform for manufacturing.
Patok turns shop floor events, WIP, work orders, files, and actions into a Flow Digital Twin that helps your team decide before the delay reaches the customer.
Patok Gemba
Captures real shop floor events with QR, handhelds, tablets, and evidence. Everything that happens in your plant is recorded as operational data.
Flow Digital Twin — Patok does not build a 3D model of your plant. It builds an operational digital twin of the flow: what is queued, what is stopped, what is running late, and what needs action.
From an event on the floor to
an order delivered on time.
One case followed end to end. Change the machine, change the customer, change the industry — the cycle is the same in any operation.

01 · Event
Punch Press 3 loses its rate
It gets recorded on the floor: downtime, cause, and time. Nobody had to report it over WhatsApp or remember it in Monday's meeting.
02 · Context
Patok connects what was scattered
That machine is holding up four work orders. One belongs to Northern Customer, with material already cut and a date committed for Friday.
03 · Risk
OP-4471 loses 2 days of margin
At the current rate that order arrives late. Without this, nobody would know until Thursday — when there is nothing left to move.
04 · Decision
Releasing more orders makes it worse
Patok rules out the gut reaction —more WIP lengthens the queue— and proposes resequencing, verifying material, and recovering capacity.
05 · Action
With an owner, a deadline, and escalation
It stops being a remark in a meeting: it becomes an assigned action, with a due date and an automatic alert if nobody closes it.
06 · Verification
The order shipped on time
Patok confirms the action recovered the margin and stores the case, so next time the answer arrives on its own.
That cycle already happens in your operation, scattered across emails, meetings, and somebody's memory. The difference is whether it closes or gets lost along the way.
Extensions installed on the machines that matter, to record states, times, production, and parameters.
They can be physical or digital, which is why they connect any machine —new or old— without touching its electronics. It is the unit that measures how instrumented your plant is.
Use cases that attack
delays at the root cause.
Gemba: Flow and CONWIP
Stop firefighting. See your WIP, set release limits, and protect your plant's bottleneck to get predictable deliveries.
Gemba: Shop Floor Prioritization
Weighs real capacity, current inventory, and sales promises to spot which work orders are at risk of running late before the shift ends.
Cognitive: Analysis and Alerts
Our AI agents analyze raw extracts and produce Decision Memos and smart operational alerts, anchored to the reality of your plant.
Office: Digital Employees
Replace inbox chaos. Automate admin work such as collecting supplier documents and free your team from repetitive tasks.
Choose your entry point.
Not every operation has the same constraint. We assess your current flow to determine where to install the first layer of intelligence.
Gemba Flow
For companies where the critical pain is in production: work orders stuck, invisible WIP, or shipping out of sync.
Decision Data
For companies where the constraint is administrative: late reports, a complex ERP, or structural over-reliance on spreadsheets.
Office Flow
For companies where the bottleneck is in stalled admin processes, slow purchasing, or emails that get lost.
The output is not a PDF.
It is a live operational memory.
We map
Plant walks, corporate documents, and live data from your operation.
We process
All that industrial noise becomes structured AI memory.
You talk to it
Ask the agent about your own operation's constraints in real time.
The definitive instrument to measure and sustain
your continuous improvement.
Lean, TPM, and Six Sigma do not fail on theory; they die from paper friction. Patok digitizes the standard and makes the deviation visible so your project does not end up on a forgotten whiteboard.
Adoption without a giant project.
We start with one real constraint, not with the whole plant.
We find the constraint
We run a Gemba Data Sprint to identify where flow is lost, which data matters, and which events need to be captured.
We implement the first case
We install capture, operational actions, a board, and agents on one real bottleneck in weeks, not months.
We measure and scale
We turn the pilot into operational continuous improvement. The ROI of the first case funds the rollout to the rest of the plant.
Not sure where to start?
Flow Coach helps you identify whether your first use case is on the shop floor, in your data, or in the office.
You do not have to install all of this
to start.
Start with a file your operation already generates. Whatever is missing, we instrument later — and only what the decision needs.
Send us a file from your operation. We will prepare the first memo.
