LIMIS / About

Making things better shouldn't be this hard.

Most digital projects in manufacturing don't fail because of the technology. They fail because the plant wasn't ready for the change, or the people doing the work never had a reason to use it. LIMIS was started to fix that, beginning with the rounds, logsheets and handoffs operators already rely on.

Why LIMIS exists

Custom fit, not custom built.

An operator records a reading on a tablet beside plant equipment.

LIMIS in field use, beside the equipment.

I spent about twenty years in process plants before starting LIMIS, and I kept seeing the same pattern. A good system would arrive at a site, a pilot would run, and a year later the operators were back on paper. The software usually worked. The plant just wasn't set up to adopt it, and nobody on the floor had been asked what would make their shift easier.

Meanwhile, the information needed to prevent problems was already being written down. Readings went into a binder, a handoff note got missed, and the pattern was only visible after something went wrong. Anyone who has worked a unit will recognize that, and I know I'm not alone in it.

LIMIS starts where the work already happens. We map the workflow that exists instead of forcing a new one, get operators using it first, and build out from there. Custom fit, not custom built.

LIMIS began after I saw a serious incident where the warning signs had been recorded on paper and never acted on.

What we believe

We design for both.

The operations team owns adoption.
The management team owns results. A project only works when the floor decides it is worth changing and has clear support to do it. We design for both.
Start with the low-hanging fruit.
Every plant has one workflow where better information would pay off quickly. LIMIS proves value there first and expands piece by piece.
Read-only, reviewable, and yours.
LIMIS never writes back to control systems. Your records belong to you, with export and offboarding terms defined before you start.
Proof over promises.
Every engagement is built to leave behind evidence your team can inspect, not a transformation pitch.
