We build and run AI automations for Huddersfield’s engineers, textile firms and chemical manufacturers. The biggest cluster is along the Leeds Road corridor, around the St Andrew’s Road employment area where Cummins and Syngenta are based, with more engineering at Lockwood and a mix of mill-based firms at Milnsbridge in the Colne Valley.
What we automate for Huddersfield manufacturers
-
Precision engineering
Inspection records, calibration due dates and certificate of conformity packs produced from the data you already capture.
-
Textiles
Sampling requests, order acknowledgements and dye-lot traceability pulled together without chasing three spreadsheets.
-
Chemicals
Safety data sheets, regulatory paperwork and customer documentation requests answered from controlled records.

Questions from Huddersfield businesses
Huddersfield is 45 minutes from you. How does that work?
We come out for the two scoping sessions and the handover, and build remotely in between. Once it’s live we monitor it from our side, so most months you only hear from us in the report.
Our quality system is on paper and spreadsheets.
That’s a fine place to start. We can read scanned records and spreadsheets as they are, then decide with you which parts are worth moving into something more structured.
We make to order. Can quoting be automated?
The groundwork can. Estimates can be drafted from the drawing, material and routing data, so an engineer checks and adjusts rather than starting from scratch. The price still leaves with a person’s name on it.
Can you work with an ERP that’s been customised for years?
Yes. Custom fields and odd workflows are exactly why we name every integration in the written scope, including how we’ll read the data if there’s no API.
