Ferry for Building Materials Manufacturers

Ferry's Agentic AI powers autonomous decision making across building materials operations — from production planning and inventory management to frontline troubleshooting and process optimization. Whether you're producing cement, insulation, or wallboard, Ferry helps your teams reduce downtime, maintain quality, and operate more efficiently — without waiting on support.

Heavy, continuous, or batch processes

Kilns, mixers, and extruders run long cycles — every deviation leads to rework, scrap, or line resets.

Variable raw material characteristics

Input variation like moisture, density, or temperature directly impacts product quality and throughput.

Manual troubleshooting and recovery

Diagnosing and fixing issues often depends on deep operator experience — and takes time the line doesn't have.

High cost of downtime

When a line stops, it's not just production at risk — it's energy waste, lost throughput, and missed targets.

Gaps in execution across shifts and sites

Best practices, adjustments, and CI gains often stay locked in one plant or team.

Stringent safety and environmental compliance

Dust, emissions, and heavy equipment create strict regulatory requirements — maintaining safety, documentation, and audit readiness adds constant operational pressure.
