Operations consulting built for the pace renewable energy manufacturing demands
OpsVector was started by a 34-year manufacturing operations veteran who scaled a startup to $28 million in revenue. Our expertise is identifying and implementing the AI solutions that find waste and cut cost — because renewable energy manufacturers are scaling faster than generic consulting playbooks were built for.
Solar module lines, battery pack assembly, wind component fabrication — these plants are being asked to double and triple output on timelines that leave little room to build mature operations systems from scratch. The result is predictable: scrap creeps up, changeovers run long, and nobody has a clean answer for where the cost is actually going.
That gap is exactly where OpsVector's founder spent a career — 34 years in electronics manufacturing, most of it as VP of Manufacturing while a startup scaled to $28 million in revenue and 125 employees. Warehouse, inventory control, shipping, receiving, purchasing, production, vendor management, manufacturing engineering, customer service repair — running all of it firsthand is what makes a plant-wide diagnosis possible instead of a single-department opinion.
Every engagement ends with the fix built into your operation, not a report on a shelf. We measure success by whether your supervisors can run the new standard without us in the room.
Principles that shape every engagement
Data before recommendations
We do not propose a fix until the waste is measured and quantified in dollars. Opinions without data do not survive contact with a plant floor.
AI where it earns its keep
Identifying and implementing AI solutions is our core expertise — but only where the data shows it solves real waste. We deploy predictive maintenance, defect detection, and demand-driven scheduling, not AI for its own sake.
Built with operators, not around them
The people running the line know where the friction is. Every standard work document and layout change is built with the crew that will use it.
Renewable energy specific
We stay current on the specific ramp, quality, and workforce challenges facing solar, wind, and battery manufacturers — it's the only sector we serve.
Checklist discipline, not guesswork
A background as an FAA Certified Flight Instructor and Army veteran shapes how we work: standard procedures and root-cause thinking, applied to a production line the way they are applied to a cockpit.
