ikai consults, selects and phases AI and robotics into your production line — then manages it all from one dashboard.
Production tracked on whiteboards. Maintenance that's reactive, not predictive. Quality checks done by eye. Paperwork eating skilled hours. You know where the inefficiency is — you just haven't had a partner who understands the floor and the technology.
Most automation consultants have never run a CNC, set up a press, or stood next to a saw line. Ours has. That means we talk about your operation in your terms, and we don't recommend tech that won't survive contact with a real production environment.
We bring in the right AI and, where it's warranted, specialist robotics partners — and we tie it all back to one dashboard you actually use.
We sit down, learn your operation, and map where automation actually pays off. No jargon, no rip-and-replace.
We pick the best platform for your business from the whole market and tailor it to how you actually work — your rules, your workflows.
Start with one system, or roll out in stages. You're never forced into a big-bang change.
Every system, plus any sensors or hardware we fit, surfaces in your ikai dashboard. One place to see it all.
Ongoing tech support and optimisation. You run your business; we keep the automation running.
Sensors on your machines feeding real-time output and OEE to your dashboard.
Catch failures before they stop the line.
Computer vision to flag defects consistently.
Replace the whiteboard with live status.
Repetitive or unsafe tasks handled, via vetted robotics partners.
Quotes, orders, compliance and certification docs processed automatically.
CNC machines, aluminium presses, precision saws — our founder's career was on the tools before it was in AI.
The right platform and the right robotics partner for your line, not a fixed brand.
Melbourne-based, on your floor.
Integration and ongoing support, owned by us.
Start with the one line or process that's hurting most, prove it, then expand — or plan a staged rollout across the plant. Your call, phased to your pace.
It's all part of ikai's one-partner, one-dashboard approach — see everything we do.
