Measured process data
Task segments, cycle times and movement paths show what happens during the work.
Automation decisions, grounded in your process
Find out whether automation is justified before you buy equipment. Built for smaller UK manufacturers, with a first-process analysis priced at around £2,500.
Talk to usThe problem
A conventional consultant-led automation feasibility study can cost £20,000–£100,000 and take weeks. For a smaller manufacturer, that is hard to justify when the project itself is still uncertain.
Without a clear picture of the work, it is easy to automate the wrong step, keep waste in the process, or put off a useful change. Automating a wasteful process makes the waste faster and more expensive.
What you get
The analysis gives you evidence to discuss changes with your team and a concept drawing you can hand to an integrator.
Task segments, cycle times and movement paths show what happens during the work.
See where time or movement does not add value, and what may be causing it.
Compare the current process with a proposed way of working.
Get a CAD file that an equipment integrator can use as a starting point for a quote.
Receive the findings and recommendations in plain English, approved by an engineer before release.
How it works
Capture ordinary video of the process using a short guide.
We measure the steps and identify where time and movement go.
An engineer reviews the evidence. You receive a report on what to change and whether automation makes sense.
If the video does not support a finding, the report says what is missing instead of presenting an unsupported number.
Who it is for
Akọ AI is built for smaller UK manufacturers with repetitive, manually paced work — food processing, packaging, light assembly, sorting and visual inspection. Typically businesses without a full-time industrial engineer on the team.
You may know a line is slow without knowing whether the cause is the method, layout, material flow or a task that could benefit from automation.
