Engineers by training. AI builders by practice.
Sorova brings agentic AI to manufacturing plants. We learned AI the way engineers learn anything: by building it and measuring the result. Engineering professors are part of our team, keeping the work rigorous and the status quo open to question.
- 4+ yearsbuilding AI
- 4+ yearsin heavy and precision manufacturing
- 2+ yearsin consulting
Years of learning, aimed at the plant floor.
We came to AI from engineering. That is why we start from how a machine works, and why we measure what we build.
-
01
Engineering first
We trained as electronics, communication and industrial engineers, so every problem starts from how the machine and the process actually work.
-
02
On the shop floor
Our chief engineer spent more than four years in the heavy and precision equipment manufacturing industry. It showed us how much a plant knows that never reaches a report.
-
03
Learning AI by building it
For more than four years we have built AI, from models and data pipelines to agents that act on what they see. Each lesson came from something we shipped and measured.
-
04
Strategy and consulting
An MSc in Strategy and International Management in Germany, then more than two years in consulting for pharmaceutical and retail clients and in-house industry functions, taught us how companies decide, and why new technology fails when it ignores the people who run it.

Sorova
Sorova brings it together as Agentic-as-a-Solution: we connect your plant, set up the agents for your industry and run them with your team, with engineering professors supporting the work.

Next: building Industry 4.0 with you
We want to work with you and be part of your journey to Industry 4.0: a plant where machines, cameras and people share live information, so problems are caught early and decisions are based on facts.
Rigour you can check. A status quo we question.
Engineering professors work with us as part of the team. They give us extra support where it matters most: reviewing our methods, testing our assumptions against the engineering of your process, and holding us to the best quality we can deliver. They are also the first to challenge the status quo, including ours.
What we stand for.
Four values guide what we build and how we work with you.
-
Vision
We start from the plant you want to run in five years, one that sees, learns, predicts and wastes less, and plan every step back to the first line we connect.
-
Courage
We say what the data shows, even when it is uncomfortable, and we question how things have always been done, our own habits included.
-
Integrity
We agree with you how success is measured before we start, and every suggestion shows its reason. Security comes first: we handle your data with care, and it trains our models only with your agreement.
-
Innovation
New technology has to earn its place on your floor. It runs beside your current way of working until the numbers prove it better, then adapts as your plant changes.
Built to adapt. Built to last.
-
Adaptable
We connect the controllers, sensors, cameras and registers you already run. Nothing to replace, and the agents are set up for your industry and your pace.
-
Sustainable
Idle hours, scrap and rework cost energy and material. A plant that sees them early can cut them, and maintenance planned from real trends keeps machines running longer.
-
Your people decide
Agents suggest. Every suggestion carries its reason, a named decider and a deadline, so control of the plant stays with your team.
The people you will work with.
Engineering, AI and operations in one team, with engineering professors supporting our work.
