Our Solutions
Transforming manufacturing with Industry 4.0
Where smart technology meets practical value
The future of manufacturing isn’t just about automation.
It’s all about getting real, measurable improvements that can help you and your team take action on decisions in your day-to-day operations.
Industry 4.0 is all about leveraging new opportunities with advanced tools for smarter, more connected manufacturing. Although this sounds great, we understand that knowing where to start can be overwhelming.
That’s where we come in
At Live Solutions we work alongside your team to bring Industry 4.0 to life in a way that makes sense for your business. Our CESMII Smart Manufacturing Certified team has over 75 years of hands-on experience. With each unique experience, we’ve learned the importance of ensuring every solution tailored to your needs can deliver practical value not just theoretical benefits.
Let’s talk about what Industry 4.0 could do for your business
Why we’re different
Let’s start at the beginning. We’re not just another consulting firm, we’re an extension of your team. We prioritize the listen-first approach. We then work side by side with your team to solve the challenges that are actually holding you back. We don’t create fictional problems, provide bloated productivity roadmaps, or introduce or impose our biases.
No fluff, no unnecessary tech, just practical, results-driven solutions tailored to your needs.

PEOPLE & PROCESS
PEOPLE & PROCESS
Pre-Engineering Fact-Finding
Your manufacturing team, augmented, not replaced.
Your team is the heart of your Industry 4.0 transformation. We co-develop solutions that integrate with your existing workflows. Whether it’s retrofitting a decade-old press with vibration sensors or deploying a digital twin for warehouse optimization, we handle the technical heavy lifting while your team stays focused on production. We dive deeper by working with your team and understanding your people and processes, not just dropping in tech or promoting capital spend for the sake of it. Through direct collaboration and open conversations, we assess your digital readiness and implement solutions your team can actually use.
Our Lean Six Sigma and CESMII-certified experts ensure real value from every derived improvement.
Example Services Offered

Frictionless Implementation
We don’t guess, we measure.
We maximize what you already have. Our certified engineers begin with a 360° snapshot of your operations: OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), energy consumption patterns, and workforce pain points. Using tools like value-stream mapping and digital maturity assessments, we can identify where legacy systems, manual processes, or data silos are eroding margins.
Industry 4.0 doesn’t always mean starting from scratch. We help you make the most of your existing infrastructure, integrating smart systems that fit your needs, without the complexity and without overselling.
Our network of trusted technology partners ensures that you get the right fit, no more, no less.
Example Services Offered

Prioritized Opportunity Modeling
No theoretical wishlists, just projects that pay. We bring Industry 4.0 to life in your facility. We evaluate the feasibility of 50+ Industry 4.0 levers – predictive maintenance, IIoT sensor grids, AI-driven scheduling, advanced robotic systems – to identify which investments will slash your downtime, reduce scrap by, or accelerate changeovers. You get a phased roadmap ranked by ROI timelines (quick wins vs. long-term plays).
We then implement technology that works for you, delivering next level manufacturing insights, predictive maintenance, and process automation that actually moves the needle.
Our solutions scale with you and do not stagnate, keeping you ahead in an ever-evolving industry.
Example Services Offered
Equipment diagnostic system integrations
Scalable robotic applications
Layered analytical AI tools (equipment, IT systems, MES, CMMS)
CMMS/MES/ERP sourcing and implementation
Technology and data systems process flow map
OUR CORE INDUSTRY 4.0 SERVICES
SMART MANUFACTURING ASSESSMENT & ROADMAP
Unsure on where to start? Let’s figure it out together.
We assess your current state of digital maturity by aligning your business state with current internal alignment metrics. We identify high-impact opportunities tailored specifically to deliver targeted operational success. We then create a clear, practical roadmapped plan to help guide your team through your Industry 4.0 transformation, backed by solid data and ROI analysis.
INDUSTRIAL IoT IMPLEMENTATION
Disconnected systems? We help you bring it all together.
Our AI-driven systems work to offer actionable results centered around your predictive maintenance needs, drive a more optimized production model, and provide insights to help eliminate inefficiencies, keeping your team focused on what really matters – and not stuck in the analysis paralysis purgatory
3D BIM MODELING AND DIGITAL TWIN DEVELOPMENT
Test improvements without making costly changes.
We create precise BIM (point cloud) 3D and 2D models of your factory helping you plan and deliver change with ease. Want to simulate change in your environment in real-time?
We can develop digital twins of your specific process, so you can document your current state, simulate changes in a future state environment, effectively identify bottlenecks, and validate improvements before changing a thing within your actual operation. These models can be scaled and configured to meet your expectations.
LEGACY SYSTEM MODERNIZATION
Old Equipment? No Problem.
Do you have older systems or equipment that needs a refresh or modernization? With our advanced integration services, we bridge the gap between your existing infrastructure and Industry 4.0, upgrading without ripping out, replacing, and having to start from scratch. If there is one thing we’ve learned, bringing older systems into the modern era is often more cost-effective and less disruptive than replacing current deployments.

“Helped us improve quality”
Live Solutions helped us deploy engineering tools including Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and problem solving (8D). Those formal processes helped us train our team members, improve quality of our products and prototypes, and increase overall productivity. Multiple team members described the FMEA process as ‘fun’, which was a first for me, and will be the example for how we deploy engineering processes in the future
