The company's primary offering is an AI-powered platform that collects and analyzes data from various stages of the manufacturing process.

The platform serves a broad range of clients, including those in the industrial and communication electronics sector, as well as the aerospace industry. It is particularly beneficial for businesses that require a high level of precision and quality control in their manufacturing processes.
Instrumental's business model is based on a subscription service, where clients pay to access the platform and utilize its AI capabilities. The platform is continuously learning and improving, requiring only five units to get started. This makes it a cost-effective solution for manufacturers looking to improve their production efficiency and product quality.
The company's solution also promotes transparency in the manufacturing process. Clients have reported feeling as though they were physically present in their factories due to the level of detail and insight provided by Instrumental's platform. This transparency leads to improved collaboration and faster decision-making, ultimately resulting in cost savings and improved customer satisfaction.
