Practical technology roadmaps for growing manufacturers
Manufacturers past the startup stage — roughly $10M in revenue and up — reach a point where spreadsheets and disconnected systems can't keep pace with the business. The challenge isn't a lack of options; it's knowing which systems to automate first, and why, so technology spend produces a measurable return instead of another shelf-ware project. CEMI builds that roadmap and leads the implementation — from system selection through automation and reporting.
Automation with a business case behind it
Technology Roadmaps Tied to ROI
A sequenced plan for what to automate first — and what to leave alone — so every investment is justified before it's made.
AI-Enabled Analytics & Reporting
Production, cost and performance data surfaced into dashboards operators and executives can actually use.
System Implementation & Automation
ERP, HRIS, CRM, BI and PowerApps — selected and implemented to fit how the shop floor and back office actually operate.
M&A Technology Integration
For manufacturers integrating an acquisition — or preparing to be acquired — unifying systems and cleaning up data before it becomes diligence risk.
Before moving into enterprise technology leadership, I managed operations on the manufacturing floor itself — running a semiconductor manufacturing department at Motorola and supervising a regulated medical device production line at Johnson & Johnson's Ethicon division. That grounding in cycle time, capacity planning, and compliance-driven operations shapes how I evaluate technology today: it has to work for the people running the line, not just the people buying the software.
Manufacturers roughly $10M+ in revenue, ready to automate and modernize — anywhere in the U.S.
