Services

I help Brevard County manufacturers eliminate waste, reduce downtime, and get more output from the team they already have — from the factory floor to the front office.

Most shops I work with have the same three problems.

🔧

Your best operator is a bottleneck

You can't clone your top machinist — but you can automate the repetitive work that keeps them from the jobs only they can do.

⏱️

Your skilled team is tied up watching machines

Manual monitoring, manual data entry, manual inspection. Every hour spent watching a machine is an hour your team isn't doing the skilled work they were hired for.

📋

Every quote takes hours and you're still losing bids

Excel-based quoting, paper compliance docs, production data on whiteboards. The shops winning contracts have systems that move faster.

📄

Compliance paperwork takes days, not minutes

Your best people are filling out AS9102 forms and chasing material certs instead of making parts. Every audit is a scramble.

🔥

Hot jobs blow up your schedule every week

No capacity planning, no lead time visibility. A rush job walks in and your whole week falls apart.

🔗

Your data lives in 3 systems that don't talk to each other

CNC data, inventory, and customer info are all disconnected. Nobody has a single source of truth.

Five phases. 90 days. Your operation transformed.

1

Audit

Week 1–2

Walk your floor. Map every process — mechanical and digital. Identify bottlenecks, measure waste, project ROI.

2

Design

Week 3–5

SolidWorks models, dashboard wireframes, agent specs, data schemas. You approve everything before a single line of code is written.

3

Build

Week 6–10

Mechanical build, PLC programming, dashboard development, agent setup, data pipelines. Everything bench-tested before it touches your floor.

4

Install

Week 11–12

On-site installation with minimal disruption. Software deployed, agents connected, integrations verified, safety checks passed.

5

Train & Monitor

Week 13+

Your team trained on every system. Documentation so anyone can run it. 6 months of remote monitoring included.

20% efficiency gain in 90 days — defined before we start

We agree on the specific metric (OEE, throughput, labor hours) before signing. If you don't hit 20% improvement within 90 days of go-live, I provide up to 60 hours of additional optimization at no charge.

This guarantee requires a designated point of contact, operator availability for training, and data access within 5 business days of each request.

Every engagement starts with the audit. From there, you choose your path.

Step 1

Automation Audit

Free

I come to your shop. Walk the floor. Map every process — mechanical and digital. You get a written report with prioritized recommendations and projected ROI for each opportunity.

  • On-site mechanical process assessment
  • Digital workflow and data system mapping
  • Written report with prioritized automation opportunities
  • ROI projections for each recommendation
  • Delivered within 48 hours
  • Covers 8 areas: quoting, production visibility, quality & compliance, business workflows, documentation, inventory, scheduling, and data integration

Timeline: 1 week

Guarantee: If I can't identify at least 3 practical improvements with estimated ROI, no obligation whatsoever.

Choose Your Path

Path A: Done-With-You

Build & Learn AI Bootcamp

Your team builds real automations on their own processes — not a lecture, a bootcamp. 4-6 weeks, hands-on, deployed by Demo Day.

Your team builds it. They own it.

4-6 weeks · $1,500 – $4,000

Launch partner pricing — limited spots

Guarantee: 3 working automations deployed by your team in 6 weeks — or 2 extra weeks of sessions free.

Path B: Done-For-You

Pilots

Connor designs, builds, and deploys automation on your highest-impact process. Pick the office (Business AI) or the floor (Factory Floor) — or both.

Business AI Pilot

$2,500 – $5,000

2-4 weeks

Factory Floor Pilot

$5,000 – $12,000

4-8 weeks

Ongoing Partnership

Monthly Retainer

$1,000 – $2,500/mo

I stay on as your automation partner. Monthly optimization, new integrations, agent refinement, and feature expansion. Your systems keep getting better.

One engineer handles the entire stack — mechanical, electrical, controls, software, and AI.

Typical integrator

6–12 months

Sully's Engineering

90 days

One engineer, no handoffs, no committee meetings, no change orders that triple the budget.

67 skills across 6 engineering categories

7+ years designing and commissioning custom machines

15+ custom machines built and deployed

Named inventor on provisional patents

Fanuc robotics, PLC programming, machine vision

Built a 16,000-line custom dashboard from scratch

4 autonomous AI agents running production workflows

CSWA certified — SolidWorks mechanical design

I take on one full integration per month.

That's not a marketing trick — it's math. A proper automation project needs my full attention, and I won't split focus between two shops.

Deep dives on the five things shops ask for most.

Why is this faster than a typical integrator?+
One person, zero handoffs. I don't have a sales team, a project manager, a design team, and an install team. I am all of those people. That cuts months off the timeline.
What does the guarantee actually mean?+
Before signing, we agree on one specific metric — OEE, labor hours, throughput. If you don't hit 20% improvement within 90 days of go-live, I provide up to 60 hours of additional optimization at no charge. The guarantee requires your team's participation: a designated point of contact, operator availability for training, and timely data access.
Can we start with a pilot instead of the full package?+
Absolutely. Most Full-Stack engagements start as a pilot. Prove the concept on one process, then expand. It's lower risk and you see results faster.
What industries have you worked in?+
Industrial automation, medical devices, consumer electronics, fitness equipment, and packaging. The engineering principles transfer across domains.
Do I need to buy new equipment?+
Not always. Many projects work with your existing equipment plus controls upgrades. When new hardware is needed, I handle vendor selection and negotiation.
What happens after the engagement ends?+
You own everything — code, designs, documentation. Your team is trained to operate it. If you want ongoing optimization, the monthly retainer keeps things improving.
What kind of ROI should I expect?+
Small and mid-size manufacturers typically see ROI within 3-6 months of deploying AI, reaching 280-520% annual returns after the payback period. AI-powered visual inspection alone saves an average of $691K per production line annually. The free audit identifies which opportunities have the fastest payback for your specific operation.
Does the AI work without internet or cloud access?+
Yes. For ITAR-regulated and sensitive operations, everything runs on-premises. Edge AI models handle vision inspection, document reading, and predictive maintenance without sending a single byte off your network. Your data never leaves the building.
What's the difference between Build & Learn and a Pilot?+
Build & Learn trains your team to build automations themselves — done-with-you. A Pilot is done-for-you: Connor builds and deploys a system. Choose Build & Learn if you want long-term internal capability. Choose a Pilot if you need results fast and don't want to train up a team.
