AI Solutions for Manufacturing Operations

Fix Derailed Projects.
Create Professional Training.

We solve two critical problems: capital projects that are off track and safety training that needs professional video content fast.

  • Your capital project is 3 weeks behind and leadership wants answers.
  • You need OSHA-compliant training videos but agencies quote 8 weeks and $15,000.
  • Your team spends more time on status reports than solving problems.
  • Safety training updates sit in queue because video production takes too long.

The Person Behind OptimAI

James Lewis, Founder of OptimAI Solutions

James Lewis

Founder and CEO, OptimAI Solutions

I have spent 25+ years inside manufacturing plants managing capital projects for companies like Eli Lilly, Nestle, Braskem, and Emergent BioSolutions. I have managed teams of 17+ people and capital budgets exceeding $65 million across pharmaceutical, food, and chemical manufacturing.

I started OptimAI Solutions because I saw the same problems in every plant I walked into: projects tracked in disconnected spreadsheets, risk assessments gathering dust, and teams spending more time reporting status than doing the work. AI changes that equation.

Now I am expanding OptimAI to include AI avatar training video production. Manufacturing companies need OSHA-compliant safety training but face 4-8 week timelines and $5,000-$15,000 costs from traditional agencies. AI avatar technology lets us deliver professional training videos in 5-10 days at 20% of the cost.

I build practical tools that solve real problems for manufacturers who don't have enterprise budgets or IT departments. If your capital project is between $5K and $50K, you are exactly who I built this for.
