Built for Manufacturing
Stop losing decades of expertise when veterans retire.
Make every technician as good as your best.
Manufacturing's Knowledge Crisis
The Retirement Wave
Your most experienced technicians are retiring. They know things that aren't written down anywhere.
Bee captures their expertise automatically.
Downtime = Lost Revenue
Every minute a line is down costs thousands. Repeat issues happen because night shift doesn't know what day shift discovered.
Bee shares solutions across all shifts.
New Hire Ramp-Up
It takes 6-12 months for new technicians to be productive. There's too much tribal knowledge to transfer.
Bee accelerates learning by 3-4x.
How Manufacturing Teams Use Brownian
Reduce Equipment Downtime
The Problem: Line 3 goes down with "Error Code 47" - the third time this month. Each time, technicians start troubleshooting from scratch.
With Bee: The moment Error 47 is reported, Bee recognizes the pattern and suggests: "This sensor calibration issue was solved by Tom on the 15th in 12 minutes. Here's what he did."
Impact:
- Average resolution time: 45 min → 12 min (73% reduction)
- Prevent $15K+ in lost production per incident
- Night shift as effective as day shift
Preserve Retiring Expert Knowledge
The Problem: Your master technician with 25 years of experience is retiring in 3 months. There's no way to transfer everything they know.
With Bee: For 3 months before retirement, Bee observes every problem they solve, every shortcut they take, every pattern they recognize. That knowledge becomes accessible to everyone.
Impact:
- Capture 80%+ of practical knowledge automatically
- No documentation burden on the retiring expert
- Knowledge continues working after they're gone
Accelerate New Technician Training
The Problem: New maintenance techs shadow experienced people for months. They learn by osmosis and repetition. It's slow and inefficient.
With Bee: New techs get instant access to the collective experience of the entire team. Every problem they encounter, Bee shows them how others solved it and who to ask.
Impact:
- Productive in 2-3 months instead of 6-12 months
- Learn from the entire team, not just their mentor
- Build confidence faster with proven solutions

Quick ROI Estimate
Conservative estimate for a mid-size manufacturing facility:
Reduced downtime: Save 30 hours/month
At $5K/hour = $150K/month saved
Faster new hire ramp-up: 4 months → 2 months
$40K saved per new technician
Avoid repeat issues: 50% reduction
20+ hours saved/month in rework
Typical ROI: 10-15x in first year
