We are leading the autonomous precision manufacturing revolution

/ WE ARE TRANSFORMING THE PRECISION MANUFACTURING LANDSCAPE

The Watch Out Solution is a revolutionary, intelligent, autonomous precision manufacturing system for the aerospace, medical and other advanced industries.

Watch Out is a a turnkey, vertically integrated solution that solves the challenges of skilled labor shortage and reshoring – while enabling a leap in operational and environmental efficiency.

The Watch Out solution incorporates next-gen machining cells designed for autonomy, piloted by AI from end-to-end. With patented sensors collecting data at a level never seen before, Watch Out’s innovative data model enables continuous learning.

Watch Out solutions are already at work in France and Switzerland. The first North American solution will be operational in Canada before the end of the year.

/ OUR VISION

Faster innovation

Digitizing expertise to address workforce challenges

Ten years ago, we embarked on a mission to revolutionize precision manufacturing and address the problem of a rapidly shrinking skilled labor force.

Previously unimagined improvement

Our solution evolves continuously, ensuring impeccable detail and quality,  transcending the boundaries of IOT and 4.0 technologies.

AI-driven acceleration

Our AI-driven system greatly accelerates the manufacturing  process, with:

• faster learning

• more rapid innovation

• accelerated ramp-up

• and quicker deployment.

/ABOUT US

A 10-YEAR JOURNEY

A 10-YEAR JOURNEY

Ten years ago, our founder Sébastien Laporte and his partner launched a pioneering autonomous quality control program, which led in 2016 to the launch of the Watch Out program.

His vision: to solve labour shortages facing the manufacturing industry by creating fully autonomous precision manufacturing solutions.

Our founder Sébastien Laporte is a passionate and visionary leader in the field of machine-tools. In 2012, he partnered with Frédéric Perret to launch an aerospace precision manufacturing company. At the end of 2019, Bernard Mariette joined them to accelerate the development of the company worldwide.

Today, Watch Out has operations in France, Switzerland, and Canada. Our team is made up of 70 dedicated professionals, including 30  engineers, data scientists, and developers.

The company is organized around 2 business units:

  • Precision Manufacturing – We manufacture high-precision parts for clients worldwide.
  • Autonomous Solutions – We develop and commercialize turnkey autonomous precision manufacturing workshops composed of AI driven machine cells.
