See how CIPHER™ connects your existing systems to deliver real-time visibility, governance, and AI-powered insights across your operations.
Built and deployed by Aethriom™, combining AI systems, operational expertise, and forward-deployed teams when needed.
CIPHER™ scales enterprise-wide without ripping out what already works, connecting to existing systems and adding governance, role-based UX, and AI copilots for a unified operational view.

CIPHER™ maps machines, materials, people, processes, and systems into a living digital twin-so data reflects how your operation actually works, not how systems store it.
Every machine, sensor, and human action is captured into an immutable timeline-creating a reliable, replayable history of what actually happened.
Understand performance across legacy and modern equipment alike-without ripping and replacing systems-by grounding metrics in real operational events.
CIPHER™ embeds lineage, access control, and evidence capture directly into operations-so compliance is continuous, not a scramble.
With unified events and context, CIPHER™ AI delivers real-time insights, recommendations, and forecasts-grounded in operational truth and governed by humans.
Audit week shouldn’t feel like a fire drill. CIPHER™ Audit turns compliance into a continuous, evidence-first workflow, aligned to ISO 14298 and Intergraf ICR. Reconciliation and dual-control sign-offs keep every movement accounted for, while the Evidence Locker organizes proof by clause for instant retrieval. Configure audit profiles and reports to match your workflows. CIPHER™ can map your controls and evidence for any ISO standard you need to meet.

An append-only lineage layer capturing events across machines, materials, people, and jobs for full traceability.
Real-time digital twins and dashboards for jobs, materials, crews, constraints, and plant operations.
An AI assistant grounded in your documents and operational lineage to support investigations, audits, and "what happened?" analysis.
Reference architectures and integrations across edge, on-prem, and cloud environments (ERP, MES, SCADA, controllers, data lakes).
Role-based access, audit-ready logging, and program-level KPIs to track waste, errors, downtime, and yield by line, site, and SKU.
Aethriom’s Data-driven workforce infrastructure aligns people, processes, and technology with scaleable intelligence. We deliver clarity, streamline workflows, and provide unified oversight- building a workforce that’s efficient today and ready for what comes next.
If you’re leading as a CEO or CTO, let’s connect. Together, we’ll align on solutions - starting with Forward-Deployed AI Architects - to ensure AI delivers sustained value, not just a proof of concept.
With a seamless integration of hands-on product, design, and technical expertise, we empower our clients to revolutionize their core businesses.
Some problems require a focused strike, not an open-ended engagement. Our project-based consulting model ensures that each engagement is scoped for outcomes, with clear deliverables and defined success criteria. Whether the goal is a pilot deployment, AI workflow redesign, or compliance-focused assessment, our teams design engagements that drive progress without the drag of traditional consulting.
On the plant floor, we design engagements around the systems that actually move product: PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) that drive machines, SCADA layers that monitor and alarm, and MES workflows that track orders, work instructions, quality checks, and traceability between ERP and the line. We also integrate industrial cameras and vision models for defect detection and count verification, add agent-driven triage for exceptions, and automate the swivel-chair steps between MES, SCADA, and maintenance tickets. Every pilot respects OT constraints (safety, uptime, air-gaps), keeps humans-in-the-loop, and ships with clear acceptance criteria tied to throughput, first-pass yield, changeover time, or downtime-so wins are measurable and audit-ready.
Traditional consulting leaves a gap between strategy and execution. Our Forward-Deployed AI Architects bridge that gap. They are embedded directly into your teams, working side-by-side to architect, test, and deploy AI systems tailored to your environment. FDAs are operators, not advisors - delivering measurable outcomes while transferring knowledge to your internal staff. The result is speed, accountability, and systems that stick.
Before embedding a Forward-Deployed AI Architect, we run a full operational audit to map where strategy breaks down in practice. Pathway Operations is our diagnostic framework - a service that surfaces process gaps, data friction, and workflow inefficiencies across people, systems, and decisions. We translate those findings into an implementation pathway that defines where an embedded architect will have the highest impact. The outcome is a clear operational blueprint that aligns readiness, resources, and ROI before deployment ever begins.
AI creates outsized value when it connects what you already run. We design secure, vendor-agnostic integrations across CRM [Customer Relationship Management], ERP [Enterprise Resource Planning], and OT [Operational Technology] (factory systems like PLCs/SCADA/MES), then layer in AI agents to triage, route, and automate work in real time. The result: unified data flows, event-driven automations, human-in-the-loop controls, and clear audit trails-delivering cycle-time reductions and fewer errors without disrupting production.
Our work doesn't end at delivery. Every engagement includes a Client Success Layer, where dedicated success managers track milestones, measure impact, and surface opportunities for continuous improvement. This model ensures our clients not only adopt new technology but also see sustained returns on their investment.
