THE PROBLEM

The people who kept American lines running are retiring.

Every fix they know leaves with them, unless it is captured first. That is the job Jack was built for.

3 active faults

FAULT-01

Retirement wave

The experts who kept American lines running are aging out. Only 16% of maintenance techs are under 40.

54 yrs · average age of techs

FAULT-02

System sprawl

PLC, SCADA, CMMS, ERP. Every system holds a piece of the answer, and none of them talk to each other.

Status · Disconnected

FAULT-03

Data, no action

Thirty years of fixes live in one veteran’s head and nowhere else. The alarm is logged. The fix is not.

Status · Undocumented

CURRENT STATE

Every system holds a piece of the answer. None of them talk.

Every fault starts as a hunt across eight systems, and every minute hunting is a minute of downtime.

FAQ

Common questions.

What is Jack?

Jack is an AI maintenance agent built by Metis. It troubleshoots faults, reads and writes PLC code, captures tribal knowledge, and creates and writes all work orders and PMs, working alongside your technicians on the floor.

What is an AI maintenance agent?

Software that takes action on the floor. When a fault appears, it reads the alarm, traces the cause, walks the technician through the repair, and logs the fix. A chatbot answers questions. Jack takes action.

Does Jack replace technicians?

No. Jack works alongside your team. It makes every technician an expert on day one and captures senior knowledge before it retires.

Can Jack update our PMs?

Yes. Because Jack writes every work order, it sees what actually happens on the line. Ask what keeps breaking, and Jack identifies the recurring issue, drafts the PM edit, and plans and schedules the work. PMs stop being written once and become a living schedule.

How fast can Jack be live on our floor?

Weeks, not a year. We come on-site, ingest your PLC, CMMS, manuals, and schematics, tailor Jack to your equipment, and go live. Results in 30 days.

What happens in a demo?

Thirty minutes with your team, on your equipment. You see Jack work before you commit to anything.

When your techs retire, Jack is there to keep things running.

Every fix they ever made, captured and handed to the next technician. Live on your line in weeks.
