Serious Operators. Hard Problems.
We are not career consultants. We are engineers, COOs, and technical founders who believe industrial value is created at the intersection of bits and atoms.
The Anti-Consultancy
Traditional consulting firms sell frameworks. They parachute in generalists who have never run a shift, delivering beautiful decks that fail on the factory floor.
LOCHS RIGEL was founded on a different premise: Serious problems require serious operators.
We believe that the next generation of industrial value will be created by those who understand both the manufacturing process and the digital stack. We don't just advise; we engineer the solution, deploy the code, and stand next to you during the rollout.
Our Core Beliefs
"Value is created on the floor, not in the boardroom. If it doesn't work for the operator, it doesn't work at all."
"Automation is brittle without intelligence. AI is useless without physical reliability. We bridge both."
