AI for automotive manufacturing

Find the station that'scosting you the line.

AI-powered solutions for the automotive industry that improve operational visibility, optimize production, and support smarter manufacturing decisions.

B3 connects your PLCs, MES, quality, and maintenance data so your team sees where takt is slipping and why, while the shift is still running.

01The B3 Systems approach

We offer a software platform that connects your people and machines while integrating your historical data and legacy systems.

This delivers real-time visibility of your machine data across your operations—from the C-suite to the shop floor.

With this foundation in place in just a few weeks, B3 Systems provides AI solutions to cut your costs and boost performance across your operation.

02Body · Paint · Assembly

Streamline your operations.

Our tools connect your team to critical data across body, paint, and assembly operations, enabling faster response times and better decision-making.

04What gets in the way

The data to fix these problemsalready exists.

It is just spread across systems and arrives too late.

Short stops add up across stations, but they rarely reach a report.

Fill, torque, and leak issues surface at end-of-line or in warranty, long after the cause.

Comparing lines and sites turns into an argument about definitions.

06Questions

Automotive operations, answered plainly.

What does B3 do for automotive manufacturers?

B3 connects your PLCs, MES, quality, and maintenance data so your team sees where takt is slipping and why, while the shift is still running. Orion connects the data, Neo shows station-level performance against takt in real time, and B3rry’s AI agents trace a dip back to the station and the shift and recommend what to check first.

Which areas of an automotive plant does B3 cover?

Body shop, paint shop, and general assembly. In the body shop, B3 monitors robotic systems and weld quality; in the paint shop, environmental conditions and consistency; in general assembly, tasks, parts, and the delays between them.

Does B3 replace our MES, PLCs, or CMMS?

No. Orion connects to the systems you already run, including PLCs, MES, quality systems, and your CMMS, along with historical data and legacy systems, and brings them into one view of the line. Nothing is ripped out or replaced.

How does B3 help with micro-stops, late quality issues, and OEE across plants?

Short stops are captured from machine data instead of waiting to be logged. Fill, torque, and leak signals are tied back to the station and shift where they started, before they reach end-of-line or warranty. And Neo gives every line and plant the same KPI definitions, so OEE comparisons are like for like.
