Built on the floor.
Engineered for throughput.
ACT Foundry finds the constraints slowing down your operations, sales, and fulfillment, then forges custom AI tools and automation that remove them. No off-the-shelf software. No guesswork. Just systems built for how your plant actually runs.
Built for manufacturers like
Every plant has a bottleneck. Most are invisible until they cost you.
Quotes take days, not minutes
Sales reps re-key the same specs into three systems before a quote ever reaches the customer, and competitors move faster.
The shop floor runs on tribal knowledge
Scheduling, changeovers, and QC checks live in one operator's head. When they're out, throughput drops.
Fulfillment is a manual scramble
Packing lists, shipping labels, and invoices get built by hand for every order, eating hours that should go to production.
Data lives in spreadsheets, not systems
Inventory counts, job costs, and lead times are tracked in disconnected files nobody trusts, including you.
Custom AI tools and automation, built around your operation
We don't sell software licenses. We identify the exact constraint costing you time and money, then design and deliver the tool that removes it, wired into how your shop already works.

A straight line from audit to automation
Floor Audit
We walk your operation (ops, sales, fulfillment) and map exactly where time and money leak out.
Constraint Report
You get a clear, prioritized breakdown of the highest-leverage automation opportunities, with projected impact.
Build & Integrate
We design and build the custom AI tool or automation, wired directly into your existing systems and workflows.
Train & Support
Your team gets hands-on training and ongoing support, so the tool keeps running long after we hand it off.
Jeremy Johnson has spent 20 years on the shop floor, not in a boardroom.
Before founding ACT Foundry, Jeremy spent two decades inside manufacturing operations, running the same sales, scheduling, and fulfillment processes he now helps automate. When AI tools started changing what was possible on the floor, he built the systems himself, then started ACT Foundry to bring that same advantage to other manufacturers.
No generic playbooks. Every engagement starts with understanding your constraint, then building the tool that fits your operation, not the other way around.
From setup to results
Setup
Kickoff call, floor audit, and access to the systems we'll be building around.
Integration
The tool is wired directly into your existing sales, ops, and fulfillment stack.
Automation Live
Your team starts running on the new workflow, with support close by.
Results
Time and cost savings show up in the numbers, tracked on a live dashboard.
What automation looks like once it's running
