What does Industrial Engineer AI do?

Industrial Engineer AI (IE.ai) is a tool-agnostic AI integrator that builds custom AI systems for manufacturing, logistics, warehousing, and operations teams. We connect your WMS, ERP, TMS, and shop floor data into a unified intelligence layer, eliminate waste, and stop defects before they reach your P&L. Founded by Mike Sanders, a principal industrial engineer with 21+ years of floor experience.

Mike Sanders is the founder and principal industrial engineer at Industrial Engineer AI. He holds a B.S. in Industrial Engineering from the University of Dayton and has 21+ years of operations experience at DP World and Sunland Logistics, engineering $2M+ in annual savings across 4M+ sq. ft. of warehouse operations. He is a certified AI instructor for the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers (IISE).

HATZ is IE.ai's private AI platform for any professional or team. It provides access to 100+ AI models in a dedicated private workspace, no-code agents, workflow automation, and native integrations. Plans start from $15/month for individuals (Student) and $50/user/month for teams. Personal onboarding is included within 48 hours of signup.

TURBO is IE.ai's operations intelligence layer that connects your WMS, ERP, TMS, and shop floor data into a single operational brain. It delivers live dashboards, at-risk order alerts, constraint-based scheduling, and auto inventory reconciliation. Builds start from $7,500 with ongoing support from $1,000/month.

How long does an IE.ai deployment take?

IE.ai deploys in weeks, not months. The first integration starts from $7,500 and is deployed on a fixed fee. Additional system integrations are $2,500 each. We do not do year-long builds — we solve problems fast and stay until it works.

What industries does Industrial Engineer AI serve?

Industrial Engineer AI serves manufacturing, 3PL and warehousing, distribution, food and beverage, healthcare, automotive, retail and e-commerce, construction, pharma and life sciences, energy and utilities, and property management. We build custom AI systems for any operation.

Does Industrial Engineer AI work with SAP, Oracle, or NetSuite?

Yes. Industrial Engineer AI integrates with SAP, Oracle, Manhattan Associates, Blue Yonder, NetSuite, Infor, Microsoft Business Central, Dynamics 365, Salesforce, QuickBooks, Epicor, HighJump, and Fishbowl, among others. We are tool-agnostic and build the integration layer on top of your existing systems.

What is the DMEDI framework?

DMEDI stands for Define, Measure, Explore, Develop, Implement — a Six Sigma-derived design methodology used by Industrial Engineer AI to structure every AI deployment. It ensures each AI use case is grounded in measurable operational data before any code is written.

What is a fractional industrial engineer?

A fractional industrial engineer is a senior IE professional embedded in your operation on a part-time or project basis, delivering VP-level engineering expertise without the full-time cost. Industrial Engineer AI offers fractional engineering services that include process analysis, AI system design, and hands-on implementation.

AI Video Editing: Practical Insights and Real-World Applications

Key Takeaway

Palm AI charges $29/month for 5,000 credits that generate only 3-7 minutes of video — roughly $4-10 per finished minute of AI footage before revisions. For content-heavy operations, that math breaks fast: two to four short-form videos per month at full credit burn, with no quality guarantee versus a human editor. The real operational play isn't full AI production — it's using AI for the repetitive 80% (clip sorting, trimming, captioning) and keeping humans on creative judgment.

Our Take— Mike Sanders, Founder

“We see this as a classic operations gap: the tool automates the 80% of editing that's repetitive (sorting, trimming, captioning) — that's where the 15-25% labor savings hide — but at $4-10 per AI-generated minute, running full production through it burns budget faster than a freelance editor at $75/hr.”

"$29 a month gets you 5,000 credits and 5,000 credits only gets you somewhere between 3 and 7 minutes of generated video."

— AI Can FINALLY Edit Videos For You

Key Takeaways

01$29/month = 5,000 credits = only 3-7 minutes of AI-generated video
02That's roughly 2-4 short-form videos per month before revisions or overages
03Cheaper than a human editor per minute, but quality parity is unproven
04Adobe is embedding the same prompt-to-edit workflow into Premiere and InDesign
05Highest ROI: AI handles clip organization and trimming, humans handle creative direction
