Key Performance Indicators¶
| KPI | Alpha Target | At-Scale Target | Measurement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spindle Utilization | 20-40% | >72% | Effective machining hours / available hours |
| Machine Availability | 45-65% | >80% | Machine uptime / scheduled time |
| Order-to-Ship Time | < 7 days | < 3 days | Order timestamp to tracking number |
| First Pass Yield | > 90% | > 97% | Parts passing all inspection first attempt |
| AI-CAM Automation Rate | > 60% | > 90% | Jobs programmed without human CAM intervention |
Scaling Roadmap¶
The standardized cell architecture is designed for multi-facility replication. The plan projects four facilities across three geographies over five years, scaling from 3 machines to 73 deployed machines.
Phase 1: Alpha Facility (Jul 2026 - Aug 2027)¶
- Deploy 1-3 DVF 5000s in 8,000 sqft Alpha Facility
- 5 days/week, 8 hours/day, single shift
- 60-80% AI-CAM automation, manual billet loading
- Prove unit economics and workflow with pilot customers
- Close the learning loop: every part machined trains the AI-CAM
Phase 2: Facility 1 - Massachusetts (Sep 2027 - mid 2029)¶
- 50,000 sqft production facility
- 6 days/week, 22 hours/day (lights-out target)
- Start with 2 machines, scale to 20+ over 18 months
- 80%+ AI-CAM automation, robotic loading exploration
Phase 3: Facility 2 - Austin (mid 2029 - 2030)¶
- 50,000 sqft, 30 machines max
- Replicate proven Facility 1 operating model
- Scale to 25 machines by end of Year 4
Phase 4: Facility 3 - Los Angeles (2030 - 2031)¶
- 50,000 sqft, 30 machines max
- West coast coverage for aerospace/defense customers
- Scale to 25 machines by end of Year 5
| Facility | Start | Max Machines | Size | Schedule |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alpha | Jul 2026 | 5 | 8,000 sqft | 5 days, 8 hrs |
| Facility 1 (MA) | Sep 2027 | 30 | 50,000 sqft | 6 days, 22 hrs |
| Facility 2 (Austin) | ~Mid 2029 | 30 | 50,000 sqft | 6 days, 22 hrs |
| Facility 3 (LA) | ~Late 2030 | 30 | 50,000 sqft | 6 days, 22 hrs |
The goal at each phase is to prove that the standardized cell, combined with the Anvil software stack, delivers predictable throughput at target quality, and that adding capacity is a deployment decision rather than an engineering challenge.
