CIPHER

The Intelligence Layer for Modern Manufacturing

Built for What’s Next.

Applied across manufacturing, logistics, regulated operations, and any industry environment where events, systems, or sensors generate data.

Built and deployed by Aethriom™, combining AI systems, operational expertise, and forward-deployed teams when needed.

Let’s Talk

CIPHER™ - One Platform, Enterprise-Wide

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.

Enterprise Ontology & Digital Twin

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.

Event-Based Operational Truth

Every machine, sensor, and human action is captured into an immutable timeline-creating a reliable, replayable history of what actually happened.

Asset & Performance Reality

Understand performance across legacy and modern equipment alike-without ripping and replacing systems-by grounding metrics in real operational events.

Built-In Governance & Auditability

CIPHER™ embeds lineage, access control, and evidence capture directly into operations-so compliance is continuous, not a scramble.

Decision Intelligence, Not Dashboards

With unified events and context, CIPHER™ AI delivers real-time insights, recommendations, and forecasts-grounded in operational truth and governed by humans.

Problems we solve for with CIPHER™

Stay audit-ready with evidence on demand

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.

Platform Capabilities

What's possible with CIPHER™

Immutable Lineage

An append-only lineage layer capturing events across machines, materials, people, and jobs for full traceability.

Live Digital Twin

Real-time digital twins and dashboards for jobs, materials, crews, constraints, and plant operations.

AI Assistant

An AI assistant grounded in your documents and operational lineage to support investigations, audits, and "what happened?" analysis.

Enterprise Integration

Reference architectures and integrations across edge, on-prem, and cloud environments (ERP, MES, SCADA, controllers, data lakes).

Governance & Performance

Role-based access, audit-ready logging, and program-level KPIs to track waste, errors, downtime, and yield by line, site, and SKU.

Data Driven Workforce Infrastructure. Built for What’s Next.

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.

Solutions only matter when they scale with vision.

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.

Our Service Stack includes:

With a seamless integration of hands-on product, design, and technical expertise, we empower our clients to revolutionize their core businesses.

Project-Based Consulting ( Multi-Industry)

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.

Manufacturing Based 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.

Forward-Deployed AI Architects

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.

Pathway Operations (Strategic Staffing)

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.

Systems Integrations & AI Agents

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.

Client Success Layer

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.

This case study demonstrates how a targeted, technology-driven approach can streamline sales onboarding in a complex, high-inventory manufacturing environment.
