THE DIAGNOSTIC

Shop Floor Diagnostic.

Bring the things bothering you about your floor, and the questions where you want floor data instead of gut feel. We'll tell you what it's costing and whether there's a fit. If there isn't, we'll tell you that too.

Last updated: April 22, 2026

We don't know if we can help you yet.

That's not a disclaimer. It's the point. Every operation is different: different machines, different constraints, different history with technology. Before we talk about solutions, we need to understand your reality. That's what the Shop Floor Diagnostic is for.

Most vendors show up with answers before they understand the questions. We do the opposite. The Diagnostic is designed to give us both clarity: on where the real opportunities are and whether Kinetech is genuinely the right partner for the job. If we're not, we'll tell you that too.

WHAT THE DIAGNOSTIC DELIVERS
  • Where we can help, and where we can't. An honest assessment of fit. No overselling. No scope inflation.
  • A prioritized opportunity map. Specific areas of your operation where MACH, AI, or custom software would generate the clearest ROI, ranked by impact and feasibility.
  • A proposed approach with expected impact. How we'd tackle it, what the phasing looks like, and the value we'd expect to generate. Grounded in your actual operation, not industry averages.
  • Shared language and aligned goals. A foundation for every conversation that follows, so nothing gets lost in translation between your team and ours.

Three steps. No surprises.

Introductory Discovery Call

1 HOUR

A structured conversation, not a pitch. We listen to your challenges, your history with technology, what's been tried before and why it did or didn't work. We ask the questions most vendors skip. At the end, we're both honest about whether it makes sense to go further.

On-Site Shop Floor Visit

HALF DAY

If the discovery call confirms a genuine fit, we come to your floor. We walk the operation, talk to your plant managers and operators, look at your machines, your data, your current systems. We don't assess from a conference room. We assess from where the work actually happens.

Diagnostic Report & Findings

DELIVERED IN WRITING

A clear, honest report, not a proposal. It outlines where we believe we can help, why, how we'd approach it, and the value and impact we'd expect to generate. Where we can't help, we say so. This document becomes the foundation for every conversation that follows: shared understanding and no ambiguity about what success looks like.

If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you.

The typical T&M model insulates the vendor from consequence and transfers all risk to the client. We flip that. If the floor assessment reveals a poor fit, we say so before any engagement begins. We'd rather walk away from a bad fit than sell you something that doesn't deliver.

Either outcome is professionally defensible.

If the numbers justify action

You have the business case built from your own floor, not from vendor projections. Take it to leadership with confidence.

If they don't

You have the data to explain why you passed. You investigated the problem. That's due diligence, not a waste of time.

Book your diagnostic.

Four fields. No 20-question form.

Costs time, not money. The only outcome without evidence is never looking.

15 hours every week producing nothing.

That's 800 hours per facility per year. At your production rates, that's a number worth knowing. The diagnostic puts it on paper.
