About Guidewheel

Guidewheel is a San Francisco–based industrial technology company that builds and markets an AI-enabled FactoryOps platform designed to give manufacturers real-time visibility and actionable insights into their factory operations. Its software uses non-intrusive sensors that clip onto machinery to turn an equipment’s “heartbeat” into live data streams that track downtime, overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), energy consumption and other key performance indicators. With a cloud-based, easy-to-deploy system, Guidewheel enables teams to reduce unplanned downtime, forecast throughput, detect anomalies with AI and drive continuous improvement—all without months-long installations or complex integrations. The company’s mission is to democratize predictive and performance-driven operations so that factories of all sizes can reach sustainable peak performance quickly and cost-effectively.

Guidewheel’s customers span a broad range of manufacturing sectors, including consumer goods, plastics and packaging, food and beverage, metals and automotive operations. Its platform is trusted by hundreds of factories—among them well-known brands—that rely on real-time data to cut waste, boost throughput, and equip production teams with the tools they need to meet output and quality goals. The solution is used by executive leaders, plant managers, supervisors, maintenance teams and operators who need clear, actionable insights to align daily workflows with strategic performance objectives. By helping manufacturers unlock hidden capacity, optimize existing assets and strengthen energy efficiency, Guidewheel serves the operational needs of companies focused on improving productivity, reducing costs, and advancing continuous improvement across shifts and sites.
