TriVista is an operations and technology consultancy that also does ERP and operations-improvement work. Its guide to AI consulting for manufacturing is one of the most practical pages on the subject⁠1.

Best for: Mid-sized manufacturers at the start, who want help choosing and sequencing use cases with their ERP and MES in mind.

Not the right fit for: Buyers that need a large data-science or machine-vision build team.

What TriVista does for manufacturers

For manufacturers, TriVista offers AI opportunity assessments, data-readiness reviews, use-case design, pilot evaluation and adoption support. It treats data readiness and the order of ERP and MES changes as part of choosing a use case, which many firms skip.

Engagements often start with a two-day onsite AI workshop. It ends with a prioritized list of use cases and a 90-day action plan, and implementation support follows. TriVista also publishes a vendor-neutral checklist for choosing a partner, which is useful whoever you hire.
