About
We’ve lived this problem. Now we’re solving it.
Achilles is the system of record for industrial execution. We connect the systems a plant already runs on, capture the rules that live in veterans’ heads, and turn them into software a human approves.
Our philosophy
Achilles is the product. The company is NOEIN Labs Inc, from the Greek νοεῖν, “to perceive by the mind.”
Most plants run on five systems that don’t talk: ERP, MES, email, Excel and paper. People reconcile them by hand every day. The real process lives in a few veterans’ heads, and it leaves when they retire.
We don’t sell a multi-year ERP program. We land on one broken workflow with one champion, go live in weeks, and expand workflow by workflow until Achilles is the plant’s system of record.
What we do
The parts, the suppliers and the plan behind mission-critical work.[06]
- Parts
[01/06]Hard-to-get parts
We source the long-lead, low-volume and discontinued parts a line cannot run without, and keep the drawings, specs and alternates attached to every one.
- Programs
[02/06]Mission-critical manufacturing
Grid, power and data-center programs where one missing component stops the job, and a late part costs more than the part.
- Suppliers
[03/06]Working the supplier network
Quotes, follow-ups, lead times and POs across every supplier and partner shop, so the right part is ordered once and arrives on time.
- Production
[04/06]Production that holds
BOMs, work orders and a plan of manufacturing that agree with each other, so the floor builds what was promised.
- Inventory
[05/06]Inventory, optimized
Missing and excess stock caught before the job slips: what to order now, what is tying up cash, and what is already allocated.
- Team
[06/06]Forward deployed
Our engineers work on your floor, next to the people who run it, and ship working software in weeks, not a slide deck.
How we work
A platform and a team.
Forward-deployed engineers sit with your veterans and capture how the work actually gets done. The platform turns that into software, so support grows with your business, not with our headcount.

One workflow, live
We start with one broken workflow and one champion, live in weeks and priced per workflow, with audit trails from day one.

Yours to keep
The rules become the plant’s: documented, versioned and maintainable after the people who knew them move on.

Reads the systems you already run
ERP, MES, inboxes, spreadsheets and paper, connected where they are. Nothing gets ripped out.

Reacts the moment something changes
A held batch, a slipped date or a new supplier email starts the right workflow, not a nightly report.
Event-driven architectureEventsWebhooks - [03]
Sees every edit in the ERP
Changes are read from the database log as they are written, so the plant’s record and Achilles never drift apart.

Puts a dollar figure on what’s stuck
Every exception is ranked by money at risk, so the top of Monday’s list is the most expensive problem.

Drafts the work, a person approves it
BOMs, POs and invoice matches are proposed by Achilles and signed off by the person who owns them.

Shows its work
Every suggestion links to the rule and the source behind it. Every sync is logged and alerts when it breaks.
