Carbyn records maintenance work from the technician’s point of view through off-the-shelf smart safety glasses. Technicians talk while they work, and Carbyn turns that into work records and step-by-step instructions the next technician can reuse, so plant-specific expertise isn’t lost when experienced staff leave or retire.
What sets them apart
- Captured during the job: no paperwork after the shift; the technician reviews and chooses what to share.
- Works with existing tools: integrates with MaintainX, IBM Maximo, Limble and UpKeep.
- Four-week pilots on a single line or team, with agreed success criteria.
Traction
- Paid pilots with U.S. manufacturers, including an aerospace film-coating plant and a CNC machine shop.
- 20+ signed letters of intent.
- 200+ on-site plant walkthroughs across California, the Midwest and the East Coast.
U.S. focus
U.S. manufacturing plants that depend on a few experienced maintenance technicians; plant managers are the buyers.
