About BlackArc

Built by Operators, for Operators

We've spent decades in manufacturing. We know what doesn't work. BlackArc is everything we wish we'd had.

Our Story

From the Shop Floor to Silicon

We've walked the shop floors. We've inherited the legacy ERPs. We've sat through the vendor demos that promised AI magic and delivered nothing but expensive consulting engagements.

Every manufacturing operations leader we've met shares the same frustration: the gap between what's possible and what's practical. Tools designed by software people who've never had to explain a missed shipment to a customer.

BlackArc exists to close that gap. We build automation that works in the real world—where data is messy, systems don't talk to each other, and your team doesn't have time for a 12-month implementation.

Why Most Manufacturing AI Fails

  • Built by software people

    Who've never managed a production line or dealt with a supplier crisis.

  • Requires perfect data

    Real manufacturing data is messy. If your AI can't handle that, it's useless.

  • 18-month implementations

    By the time it's live, your business has changed three times.

  • BlackArc is different

    Prove value in 30 days. Built for messy data. Designed by operators.

What We Believe

Principles That Guide Everything We Build

Results Over Roadmaps

We ship working systems, not slide decks. If it doesn't reduce complexity or increase margin, we don't build it.

Your Data, Your Control

On-premise or cloud—your choice. We don't hold your data hostage, and we don't train our models on your proprietary information.

Simple Beats Sophisticated

Complexity is the enemy of adoption. Every feature must justify its existence by making your life simpler, not more complicated.

Partners, Not Vendors

Your success is our only metric. We don't succeed by selling more licenses—we succeed when you achieve measurable operational improvements.

Our Mission

Make Enterprise-Grade Operations Accessible to the Mid-Market

The big guys have armies of analysts and custom-built systems. Mid-sized manufacturers deserve the same operational intelligence—without the seven-figure price tag and two-year implementation.
