Companies & Work
Overview
Here’s a secret between you and me: even the world’s largest manufacturers, companies like Tesla and Toyota, waste billions of dollars every year making products with quality issues. Building high-quality things at scale is incredibly hard. It doesn’t just happen because you hire smart people or buy good machines. It requires seeing problems early, understanding them deeply, and acting in real time, something factories were never designed to do.
At Overview.ai, we’re changing that. We build custom hardware, edge AI, and software systems that give manufacturers real visibility into how their products are actually being made. Our technology helps catch defects earlier, reduce waste, and fundamentally improve how factories operate. This work matters, not just for our customers, but for keeping American manufacturing competitive in a world that’s moving faster every year.
