About Sight Machine

The Industrial AI company.

Deep roots in data and more than a decade of leadership in manufacturing — built for the AI era.

Founded in Michigan in 2011, Sight Machine has steadfastly developed the AI opportunity for manufacturing.

We provide Industrial AI across more than 20 verticals and 20 countries. With offices in San Francisco and Ann Arbor, our team is built from manufacturing veterans, data scientists, and AI researchers who have spent their careers on the plant floor and in the systems that run it. We admire and support the people we serve, and we feel deep appreciation for the trust they place in us.

Sight Machine brings the complete industrial AI stack to the factory in days— turning unstructured plant data into decisions that streamline production and unlock rapid returns. With one unified data foundation for all processes, and AI agents that connect, structure, and analyze plant data, Sight Machine transforms complex physical-world data into clear, reliable insights.

These insights enable stakeholders across plants and enterprises to boost profitability, productivity, and sustainability. The results change careers, plants, and firms.

Our belief

The next AI revolution is in the physical world.

For more than a decade, the benefits of AI and data science flowed primarily to software companies — platforms where data is already clean, digital, and structured. Manufacturing was left out. Not because the opportunity wasn't there, but because the problem was harder.

Sight Machine was built to solve that problem — to create the layer of intelligence that makes manufacturing data legible to AI agents, and to build the agents that act on it. We believe the factories that deploy this technology in the next few years will define competitiveness in manufacturing for the generation after. We're here to make sure our customers are among them.
