What's Holding Manufacturing Back?

Key Manufacturing Challenges 

Manufacturing organizations face increasing pressure to meet cost targets, respond to supply volatility, and improve cross-functional planning. Core challenges include:

  • Cost Overruns: Variable input costs and design drift often derail initial budgets.
  • Material and Labor Constraints: Global shortages and shifting schedules require better forecasting.
  • Process Alignment: Teams need tools that align engineering, sourcing, and production before delays occur.

Galorath’s platform integrates design-to-cost workflows, AI-supported labor and material modeling, and traceable logic to improve confidence from concept to delivery.

Support Across the Build Lifecycle

Improves Manufacturing Outcomes, One Job at a Time

SEER® and SEERai™ combine to support:

  • Accurate, scalable cost estimation for complex assemblies and variable-volume production.
  • Design for Manufacturing (DFM) analysis that reveals part count, manufacturability, and waste implications.
  • Material and process modeling for evaluating manufacturing paths across vendors and geographies.

SEERai guides estimation via natural language, while SEER ensures consistency, traceability, and audit-ready logic.
