We support all industries — aerospace, food processing, apparel, logistics or any other sector. Southern California manufactures more than any other US metro — often on equipment that predates the smartphone. SXE Consulting connects existing assets to the 4.0 era: retrofit IoT, lightweight MES, measured-ROI pilots.
LA County remains America's largest manufacturing hub — aerospace machining, food processing, personal care, apparel — much of it running on mature equipment that would cost fortunes to replace. That's exactly where pragmatic 4.0 shines: retrofit sensors connect legacy assets, lightweight MES digitizes work orders and traceability, dashboards give real-time visibility. Typical mission example: an aerospace machine shop in the San Fernando Valley connected 18 CNC machines via retrofit IoT and achieved a significant spindle availability gain in its 90-day pilot — no machine replaced. We serve LA, Orange County, the Inland Empire and San Diego.
Vibration, current and cycle sensors connect 20-year-old equipment for a fraction of replacement cost — often the best ROI in 4.0.
AS9100 environments demand full digital traceability: MES delivers it natively, and customer audits transform overnight.
